Sydney's Christmas List
Sydney's Christmas List:
A good Spida, some youngsters stepping into the senior side and more games against the Eagles in September.
Sydney fans have had a good run over the last decade so they don't need to expect many more gifts. But they get a big, experienced ruckman to add to their team as well as some exciting young players.
Peter Everitt only cost the Swans a late second rounder, and if he is back to his best in 2007 then another Grand Final will be the Swans destination. Both Lockett and Hall were former Saints who improved due to moving to the Swans. Everitt did have a brief stop in Hawthorn, but he exhibits plenty of traits that Hall and Lockett had. Swans fans will be hoping that Everitt will do what is needed, and he probably will especially if Hall tells him to.
The Swans will want a deeper list and with more players able to contribute they will have a fresher team for September. The Swans will be hoping that some of their youngsters step up to assist a list that is getting older now. Daniel O'Keefe should be their main hope, he was their first round pick and has the skills the Swans like. Simon Phillips is a little guy with potential while Luke Vogels is still trying to get a game but there isn't a spot unless Hall is out.
Everything is in place for the Swans to make another run, and they might like to meet with the Eagles again, just to see who the better team is. With one win apiece, if they meet again in late September then the winner of that game will have the bragging rights and possibly another cup.
