Luke, The Mase, has asked me to run my microscope over the Swans list, so here it is, in one dimensional colour.
I'm looking at your list from the outside, I'm a Port supporter, so if you disagree with me, tough, lol, just kidding, but if you want some discussion, be specific with your complaints, tell me who I am wrong about, if that is at all possible, lol.
I try my best to be fair and unbiased, lets have a look
Luke Ablett :- Yet to see him play
Jason Ball :- Surprised with good 2001, needed for ruck in 2002
Leo Barry :- Made good move to backlines until injured
Jude Bolton :- Good tough nut with skills in midfield
Leigh Brockman :- make or break season, 24 in July, Dud
Amon Buchanan :- Looked great the one time I saw him
Daryn Cresswell :- Wear & tear is showing, still valuable
Jared Crouch :- Lots of heart, does the tough jobs for team
Nick Daffy :- Hack
Stephen Doyle :- My tip for Swans success story in 2002
Andrew Dunkley :- Not many good games left in these legs
Ben Fixter :- Broken leg set him back, needs to come on now
Nic Fosdike :- Not reliable, not quite long term AFL standard
Adam Goodes :- Got it all, now just do it all game son
Barry Hall :- Mongrel with attitude, enjoy the rocky ride
Heath James :- Hamstrings have ruined him, now a dud, sorry
Paul Kelly :- Age and injuries will not weary him, a true GREAT
Tadhg Kennelly :- Looks likely, needs lots of weights work
Brett Kirk :- He does find the ball, so has talent
Ben Mathews :- Competent and composed, & coach likes him
Stuart Maxfield :- Still finds enormous space, somehow
Daniel McPherson :- Footy smart, thrives on hard work
Matthew Nicks :- Future Swans captain, that's my guess
Ryan O'Keefe :- Spare part type, has to do more to make it
Michael O'Loughlin :- Smooth moving Mr. Magic
Lewis Roberts-Thompson :- Yet to see him play
Jason Saddington :- Next generation footballer, has it all
Andrew Schauble :- Will miss Dunkley's help, servicable
Wayne Schwass :- It's an aging midfield aint it!
Brad Seymour :- Needs to stay on field more, injury prone?
Scott Stevens :- Yet to see him play
Jarrad Sundqvist :- Yet to see him play
Rowan Warfe :- Good player, but is also a bit injury prone
Paul Williams :- Important midfield goal getter
There are a few players who are important, but have missed lots of games with injuries, if they can stay fit and on the park, PLUS, if the aging midfield can hold it together for another season or two, PLUS, Doyle really comes on strong in ruck for you, then I can see the Swans having a good season, threatening the top echelon of clubs for higher honours.
If none of those things work out for the Swans, look for them to have a frustrating year.
They have the talent, they have some exciting players to work with, they need some of that intangible stuff that every great club needs, that is LUCK, and plenty of it.
My guess is they will end up around 5th or 6th
ps, I still reckon some of those Swanettes had damn fine moves
