He couldn't land a big-bodied established mid to help Crippa.

Kennedy is a bust
Missed on Shiel
Missed on Coniglio



How about mids of any description to help Crippa?

Kennedy is a bust at 22 and 40 injury-interrupted games.
Missed on Shiel
Missed on Coniglio because the AFL leadership got involved.

Our young players have had a terrible run with injuries the last 2 years...& now season 2020 is another season they won't get gametime. :sad:

Looking for positives...
Suits us more than older teams.

SOS gave us no small forwards. That's his other failing

Gave us Betts as an interim.
Gave us Martin.
Would have got us Papley if the Swans were as inclined to look after player welfare as Geelong and StK.
Gave us Pickett, who was burning up the track and looked like he was going to rip the comp a new one until his injury.

But apart from those, you're right.

SOS didn’t want Betts, and as SOS was on his way out, this time the coach got what he wanted...

So one small forward in 5 years of drafts, rookie drafts, free agents etc. etc. and even then it took 5 years!

As for Pickett, was never going to make it, he was lazy, not interested... GWS didn’t hide that about him, and couldn’t get rid of him fast enough... and SOS was lazy, and dumb enough to still oblige... and it cost us!

Count up how many small forwards played for the Swans on the weekend, or almost any other team.

On the plus side we might have a chance for the following before our next game (2021):
0 injury list or close to it.
Recruit a gun mid or two b+ mature mids.
Recruit Papley.

When you'rebuilding from th ground up, which was his charter, you don't start with small forwards. You start with the big blokes, who take time. They're only just starting to hit their straps.
I don't recall too many here screaming out for small forwards on here over the last five years, it's been mids and KPP.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
When w got SOS in, who were our small forwards? Dis we still ave Yarran and Garlett?
I can't remember but I do get a bit tired of blaming it all on SOS. Let's not forget we are't a destination club. That plays a big part in losing Shiel, Mitchell etc etc.

Listen to 'The Racehorse' from 11:40
This is Carlton after 20 years without a flag in 1966. It's similar to where we are now in terms of a drought and similar to where we are now in terms of the list all arriving together.

I well remember the build up to the 1968 GF. I recall thinking, "21 years since we've won a flag. How long ago is that, that's longer than I've been alive". Now 25 years and counting (sigh). We hang in there and live in hope.

Brodie Kemp gets a free season to rehab and prepare for next pre-season.

That's a pretty big win. He'd have gone much higher if not for injury.

I'd be prepared to give up our Rnd1 pick for Papley next year.

Will that still depend on Dodoro?

If the season doesn't resume and they go on last year's finished positions, we have pick 3. Are we prepared to give up pick 3?

Would future picks traded count in such a draft or be applied to the next one?
