    With the 666 rule looking likely for next year we better start concentrating on getting a winning midfield asap. The days of starting each center bounce with a spare or two behind the ball will be gone.

    That was an, admittedly very poor, parody of the - we should have kept Mitchell and not Jack / Hanners or signed Buddy and not Tippett - arguments. In hindsight we should have found a way to keep Mitchell even if we had to risk losing other players to do so.

    We are desperately in need of a Mitchell type player right now.

    Completely agree Liz. Three weeks ago the injury-afflicted Giants were being written off, and who would have thought West Coast would function so well with their gun forwards back? The Age Footy Podcast had some bright spark saying “the Swans aren’t the team they were”, which is stating the bleedin’ obvious when there are 10 first 18 players out, and we had 11 players with less than 35 games experience on Saturday.
    Also, excellent news regarding Aliir.

    Nice to see Aliir signed to the end of 2021. More doom and gloom averted. I don't know how we manage it.

    Not that it matters in the slightest, but it is intriguing to contemplate what the club offered him. Are we paying market value, overs or unders?

    I remember reading a trade rumour last year suggesting we were interested in Miles.

    I said it then and I'll say it again. That was the biggest trade mistake we've made in decades. We would have been better fitting him in best we can and trading Hanners or Parker at the time or the following season. We also should have had the vision to plan for his contract in the years prior.
