8th of 12 teams, 19 games, 8 wins and a draw, averaging 84.3 for and 86.9 against (96.97%). So not bad, but considering we werre 10 points behind 7th (who were 4 wins from 1st) we were the best of the not-much-chance, and no one (apart from Collingwood once) went to town on us. We even beat the premiers, Carlton, on aggregate (R2 win 14, R13 loss -4)!

For a little more info on the season (not necessarily Swans related) go here.
Oh, smiling little fella, sir, if apart from Collingwood (by 52 points) nobody else went to town on us, am I to assume that you are defining "going to town" on someone starts at 52 whilst it ends at 51? (Essendon, round 1 beat us by 51) ... I don't mind either way, I am 52 in a couple of weeks, I am looking forward to putting that theory to the test!!

8th is a big dive from '45. Good that we beat Carlton though.
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
There was a war going on in '45 (well, ending, but still ...). The AFL "landscape" (if I may call it that) would have been totally different, even 2 years later.
Carlton and South finished 6th and 7th respectively in 1946. Not so much a big fall for South in 1947 as it was a rise for Carlton I suppose.
