Didn't they lose their first 4 games and then rally to still make finals in a recent season? People were writing them off then too, do so at your peril.
Harsh on Parker I think. Jack has been a vdry goid player that seems to have reached his use by date. Kennedy might be on the decline but still so good enough to get a run in most if not all midfield I think.Without Heeney and Mills in there I strongly believe that the Swans have one of the weakest midfields in the competition. Kennedy is better than last year, but still on the decline, Parker is one of the most overrated players in the AFL in terms of reputation compared to output, Hewett is just a tagger, a very good tagger but still just a tagger, Papley is a forward that Longmire has decided to play in the midfield for some reason, Jack is toast and players like Cunningham and Florent are more outside players.
The only midfield positive we have at the moment is Jones.
I think there's a slightly easier explanation - just that their old stars are fading, and there's a gap back to the next batch in terms of talent and maturity.Their game plan for the best part of 20 yrs involved getting 4-5 goals up and then strangling the opponent. Teams are now spreading easier and running quicker, so 4-5 goals isn't a match winning lead
Surely the AFL brainstrust will think of somethingThere is no magic bullet coming back into the team to make us better this year.

2 year trade ban might have had something to do with that too.I think there's a slightly easier explanation - just that their old stars are fading, and there's a gap back to the next batch in terms of talent and maturity.
The academy rort is insufficiently effective
The plot thickensEvery club has an academy
Yeah naaahThe benefits of living in an NRL state, is that there’s not going to be any criticism of them in the NSW media or anything.Vic media doesn’t give a s**t about this eithe

Any key forwards coming out of contract soon?Surely the AFL brainstrust will think of something
2016 Hannebery yeah
Yeah naaah
That ain't right.
The Vic media like nothing more than sinking the boots into non-vic clubs.
The NSW media probably will largely ignore them. That's arguably the worst outcome for the club in theur home state.
Assuming they do spend the season at the bottom end of the ladder, not a done deal yet.
s**t team, bottom 6 for mine.
