We are fu**in on like donkey kong, as Whately says “we are in it up to our eyeballs this year”
Two games into the second year how good is the Polec/Pittard deal looking for us? I thought both were hugely influential against GWS and both looked to have really settled into the North game plan and team. Pittard a contender for best steak knives of all time.

Their reliance on Buddy is their greatest weakness and has been for years.
Swans went backwards when they got him. Big mistake. Not quite the same but close enough that maybe we should have taken notice before chasing Martin and Kelly.

They did make 2 GFs and I think went in faves in both....at least in 2016.
AA captain, multiple Coleman's. To be fair they probably dont make either of those without Franklin. Their decline has nothing to do with buddy's recruitment and more to do with the rapid decline of a number of their mainstays who at their peak were genuinely elite.

Hall? For now maybe..
LDU

Completely different player, LDU perhaps competes with Thomas for the same position as this young up and coming mid who has this x-factor and can play a forward role. Hall when fit is expected to take up the top 3 mid role due to his experience

😂 hall is done mate, move on, he has done NOTHING in a season and a half.. LDU fits in our team with the rest of the campaigners standing up.. Hall was worth * all and is really worth, * all

They made two grand finals just after he arrived. I guess you can argue it wasn’t a success, but they definitely didn’t go backwards.
