I think we only have enough coin to bring in a replacement for Jetta who will leave and that we will try and get a Ruckman - it will reflect the fact we need to plan for Tippo being at FF all season and also the fact that Pyke will be at the end of his use by date (all time Swans legend that he is)

My team...

B: Smith Richards Jones


HB: Laidler Grundy Rampe


C: McVeigh Kennedy Jack


HF: Heeney Reid Harry


F: McGlynn Tippett Rohan


FOL: New #1 Ruckman Parker Hannebery


I/C: Lloyd Mitchell Towers Nankervis


Depth: Pyke, B. Jack, Naismith, Richards, Hewett, Rose, Mills

Could be a very tough year but one where we will show our character

I think I'd go largely with this team but I'd put Brandon at forward pocket instead of Ben - more pace, solid tackler, better kick - and Nankervis to depth with Rose in the side.
