"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
McVeigh is not anywhere near a top 5 or 6 players. And the reason we are in free fall is because we keep these types of players far too long.
And don't compare him to Hodge. Hawthorn let him go (quite rightly) and Brisbane only picked him up because they have an exceptionally young list without a winning culture. Nothing like us.
Mcpointy should have pulled up stumps 2-3 years ago. He had a good year last year but that was an exception. He is dreadfully slow.
I'd be very surprised if we suddenly became the worst team this season. But we are bottom 4 right now...and without substantial improvements, I would not be surprised if we stay there.
Just looking at the second half of the season, we play all teams that are above us just now except for Melbourne. We have beaten Carlton and you'd think we should beat the Suns (but then, last year...). Anyway, the point is that we're not going to be saved by an "easy" run home as is sometimes the case.
I forgot Norf are still in the comp. Enough said.
