History saids is doesn’t take long to rebuild a Wafl club.
Players come and go from all Wafl clubs .Over the summer months.
Swans need to try and recruit at least two ,2025.Afl listed players.Bigger bodied players.
A defender to replace Tony Notte.And a big fwd flanker of CHF.To straighten up our ball movement.

Thats just the clubs history Baz.
They have allways worked on a 15 or 20 year cycle.
Pop up in the finals in 2024.Then sink back to the bottom part of the ladder.
Like the did in the mid 70’s and early 90’s.
After the 1990 flag.
Historical evidence saids this is normal for Swans.
1961-65 under Bunton and Castledine
1980 - 1985 under Todd
1990-1992 under Todd again
2008-2010 under Dawson
Apart from those years its been mediocrity.
Our record in Grand Finals is pretty good if we make them

I would say the 80s was the last time they had a good run as a power, mini revival 1990 and a one off in 2010.
GF strike rate is good, on the flipside my mob are shockers.
Thank you gtrxuone. Now I know - being competitive moving to rebuilding.
