Why do you even support the club? Seriously?
Every team has players on the list who suffer injuries and don't ever get to play a game of AFL or see their careers end. Every. One.
Isn't this the same medical team that managed to get Sam Reid on the field for 22 games this season? The same medical team that got Alex Johnson back on to an AFL field after multiple knee reconstructions and years out of the game?
Sad when you can be a forum moderator for a club about which you have nothing positive to say.
Nothing about the dons medical team is consistent
I am sorry but all that did not happen in the most successful period the club has ever had. Mitchell squeezed out is the oldest thing on that list and that happened at the end of 2016. We have been on a rapid decline since 2016.
Expect for hiding records
Wow... both 2020 prospects are talented. But replace our mids!
No way. JPK is a big unit.
Campbell is a small/medium goal kicking fwd.
Gulden may be a wing, but probably a small goal sneak.
Rowbottom will work, and Blakey, the Jury is out. But a better high fwd. Seems to struggle with heavy contact and injuries.
We need an established big body.. 23 to 26 year old, who doesn't need years to be ready to hit the field.
They do really struggle with repeat injuries though
Should have drafted them years ago. I wanted the Swans to get Charlie Constable so much as I saw a strong need for him very soon. I could not believe the Swans list managers did not as I thought it was bloody obvious we needed to recruit a big bodied midfielder or two.

we have been, but glad they are trying to fix the list
it was a bit of a wake up to see richmond win another flag
sort of lump us in with hawks and cats as the best of the recent era
but i mean in the time we won our 2 flags, so have richmond and west coast, geelong 3, hawks 3
stretching 2005 into now as an era is becoming a massive stretch now

Incorrect. The period in which we made the finals in all but two season in 17 is up to the current day.
There has been a drop off in the last few years. Why?
Because we had COLA removed, we had a trade ban imposed, we had arguably the best generation of players at the club come to an end and we entered a period of rebuilding.
The league has all sorts of rules set up to make what we did for so long impossible, all of the "equalisation measures" exist to stop teams from having sustained success like we have had. It was going to have to come to an end eventually and the AFL forced it to happen with its response to us after the Franklin signing.
You can't blame the club for that. It was the victim of some heavy handed AFL actions that basically forced us in to a major overhaul of our list with a focus on youth.
In that period we have drafted very well, only partially due to strong academy prospects, we have one of the youngest teams in the league, we have high quality young players all over the park who have had a bunch of games put in to them. The core of the team for the next 10 years is in place and is looking very promising.
The club has performed phenomenally over the last two decades. We have suffered in recent seasons not due to our incompetence but rather because the league punished us for being too competent, for being too smart, too successful. We have taken it in our stride, used the opportunity to create one of the most promising lists in the league, and by the looks of it have our sights set on being back in premiership contention within a couple of seasons.
Some supporters on here are frankly pathetic, spineless knee-jerk reacting idiots. This club deserves better than much of the dross on here.
