SYDNEY Swans defender Nick Malceski would be quite pleased if he could completely remove the 2011 AFL season from his memory bank.

The year started with a third knee injury, and a second bout of LARS surgery, which kept him out of the side until round nine.

Malceski then strung six straight games together, but a groin problem soon flared that would see him bounce in and out of the side for the rest of the year.

The running defender would play just six of the club's remaining 12 matches, missing both finals as the Swans' year ended with a semi-final loss to Hawthorn.

Sydney Swans defender Nick Malceski says versatility has been a major strength of the backline so far this season.

Malceski said the defensive group, coached by Swans assistant John Blakey, has found the right balance of players on the team’s last line.

“I think we’re pretty versatile down there, which is good and we’ve got a few blokes back there who can come in and fill holes,” Malceski told sydneyswans.com.au.

“We’ve got a few players who can play on talls and smalls.

“We’ve got Teddy Richards, Heath Grundy and Alex Johnson who can play on the taller-type players, and any of those guys can play on smaller type players as well.

“Me and Marty (Mattner) and Shawy can all play on smaller or medium-sized players, so there is good versatility down there and I think Blakes has set us up pretty well.”
