I guess when the Swans list management looked at their inside midfield stocks after 2023 they couldn’t have foreshadowed the following:
- They had the best midfielder of 2024 playing most of his time as a medium forward.
- Rowbottom was not predicted to be as good as he’s been playing.
- Chad was not predicted going to be as effective as he’s been in tandem with Heeney and Rowbottom. The mix of talents greater than the sum of their parts.
- Cleary, Mitchell and Sheldrick give exciting depth.
- James Jordan has been a revelation with his role.
- Parker, Mills and Adams would be out do early in the season allowing a alternative and some would argue more effective midfield to play.
Nobody predicted this scenario at the end of 2023. Mills is fortunate he’s versatile in defence otherwise he’ll be in the reserves with Parker when fit.
