Over the years we've had some great indigenous players star for the Swans and obviously the blokes wearing numbers 19 and 37 do us proud.

A few years ago we had a fair number of other indigenous players on our lists, but as they've retired or been axed, we've ended up with only Goodesy and MOL (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm sure that this isn't recruiting policy, its just been the way that the cards have fallen, but there has been a fair bit of talent about.

Lets send Ricky Barham up to the Tiwi Islands or to watch the game in the NT for a spell next summer before Sheeds snaffles all the talent. Or am I being simplistic ?
