Yes however with the expection of Jolly none of those were really contributing much or were detrimental to the team(hall). ALso lost Ablett aswell.
Difference is now our experienced are still playing very very good football and are rejuvinated.. Kirk, Bolton, Goodes (new role), O'keefe(new role), C Bolton, Kennelly(back from ireland) etc. Players like Mcveigh, Malceski, Seaby, Jack, Moore, Grundy, bird have been around for a few years now and with a couple of youngsters in Jetta, Rohan, TDL we have a very good mix.
if we get a few early season wins and confidence up top 4 is a real chance.

Well seeing as we have so much experience it will allow the melbourne media to bang on again that we are too old , too tired , too slow again etc etc etc yawn yawn yawn without having any knowledge of our list. Actually they have already jumped on the rebuilding bandwagon so again there ineptitude at having any knowledge of our list will shine through.
Meanwhile our oldest delisting from last year is the latest hit sensation and all time saviour of football in melbourne. Amazing how six months out of the game and a trip down the hume can redeem a player in the eyes of the media.
Unfortunately i was blooded into to swans 2 years too late, i grew up in geelong and even played basketball with Jesus but never really got into footy until '07 (left geelong in '97/'98) from all my mates being swannies supporters, i have been getting more and more into footy ever since and have been lurking around this forum for a year or two before joining because i finally became a member this year! and felt i am now worthy of posting on a swans dedicated forum
I feel this is relative to the thread because i am VERY excited about this year, evidently a lot of other supporters are too because we haven't seen a team with such potential for quite some time. I love hearing everyone talk about how much experience we have lost, although it is slightly concerning how big the oven is going to need to be to be able to bake that massive pie for all the doubters/haters out there Premiership window is most definitely open!
carrrn the bloods!
Peace
