As the title says.
Who would be your first, second pick, etc??
It's hard enough to pic a best 22 without choosing the order.

You are right Scott, it is bloody hard. For me anyone below the first half dozen are all equal and I just listed them as I remembered them.

22 guys, twenty two
What's tough is that if someone doesn't have a really good game, someone as steps up. For example, Jetta had a couple of quiet games, and Jack stood up. Kennedy was getting tagged like crazy, and then Hannebery and ROK stepped up. Richards got outdone by Jack Riewoldt and that was one of a few losses. I guess if it was on up to now form is have my top 10 but anymore and they'd probs all be similar

Would definitely have Rohan in top 15, but he is out for the year so am not considering him.
I'll leave out Rohan because he's out for the season and in development, so it's impossible to guess where he'd be right now anyway.
1. Teddy - we have the midfielders to cover Kennedy, Jack, etc, but we don't have anyone who can cover Richards
2. Mumford - provided he's fit
3. Kennedy
4. Jack
5. Jetta

Forwards are generally lower than defenders because I feel our success has been much more due to, and therefore rests upon, our defensive group. Pyke has jumped well and truly out of our bottom 6 over the last two weeks as well.
I tried a list and then found I couldn't rank my Swannies like this!! It's also hard because a level of indispensibility is determined by the alternatives you have available. For example, we can do without Parker at the moment because the other mids are fit. We can afford to rest Mummy because of the emergence of Pyke. The one guy we can't replace in the short term IMO is Richards, so he'd be my undisputed no. 1 on this list. The others can be covered to some degree but I think we'd really miss Ted. My 22 is the current team (that played St Kilda) with TDL in and Everitt out.
