I was thinking about the best possible Swans side for 2012. Rather than worrying about key positions, (except the ruck-sorry Mark Seaby), I have provided rankings. The first 17 players are all certainties in my opinion if fully fit. The remaining 4 positions with a 5th being the sub, are in my view reflected from a pool of 11 players. Hope to read lots of responses.
