key to Dane Swan also lies in our 2 recruits and dagoey. Pendles / Sidebottom/ Treloar / Dagoey & Aish. in 2 years time we imagine all of them should be A Graders so Swan by that point will be left alone to do what he does. I'd actually plonk him in the goal square.

300 pfft...he can play 400 if he wants.
His body will stand up... can get 2 goals a game as half forward, with short spells in the middle.
Comes from good stock. His Dad played 302 games.

His Dad walked out on Carlton too....points for that.

Aish is more likely to be a B+ player.

Pendles, Sidey and Treloar are already A graders.

DeGoey certainly could be.

I think he will get there.

I am confident we will make finals which will keep him on for another year and playing predominantly forward should allow him to remain durable.

As Derek Hine has already said will be playing alot more on the forward line this year i say no young mid should take his spot.

Swanny to fall in love with playing deep forward and to kick 60 goals in 2016...

And 100+ in 2017... win the brownlow as a forward pocket... kick 8 on grand final day to seal back to back premiership success and be on his way to game 350.

Love your optimism smoky...... hope like hell you're correct!

A great champ and a fan favourite

Heart, he'll yeah of course he hs to play 300
Head, its long shot given the squad of gun young mids we have versus his age

Prognosis: If he can still do the work, still do the running, stay injury free and if Swanny can turn himself into a genuine goal kicking forward pocket, then he is a chance. Hope he makes it.

Would personally love to see it, but something tells me 2016 will be his final rodeo - isnt the type of person/player to hang around if he feels he's had enough
