I like Bird too, but I can't see any other front line midfielders going out ahead of him. I did have a mental lapse though and forgot about Harry and Jake. It's been a while...
I can see us restructuring the mids this year. One of our problems is we have too many ex-outside players playing in the mids together. I think we have to go with more natural inside mids like Kennedy, Parker, Bird, Mitchell, Heeney (inside/outside), Hewett (inside/outside). We need to go with 2 nat inside to 1 I/O in the centre square. The outside mids should attack from the back of the square running toward our goal or from wings. This would free up our forward line and enable us to run the ball in if they dropped one back.
According to Peter FitzSimmons in the SMH: 'Isaac Heeney. The new Swans player has been christened by his teammates "Zucchini."'

Word on the street is that Isaac is going to get the number 5 guernsey.
Wearing No.5 is a dream come true for Swan Heeney - AFL.com.au
Correct
Some big numbers issued out today and seems there is a need for big shoes to be filled.

Maybe Adam Goodes, LRT, Jake Lloyd and Shane Mumford have started a trend by keeping their original numbers and not changing to lower numbers.
