As the Sydney Swans return to finals, most of the season was filled with doubt on whether they would return after a year fuelled with injury, setbacks and poor performances that had the Swans ruled out of any chance to return for another shot at glory.

2. Jack Graham
Whilst Graham has been receiving plenty of playing time for Richmond, the idea of possibly being traded has been floated around in recent times, with the Tigers midfielder evening visiting Port Adelaide last year.
The two-time premiership player has been a strong role player for Richmond with a career average of 16.4 disposals, 5.3 tackles, and 4.3 score involvements per game.
The idea would be that Graham could provide a similar service to the Swans, who could use a player that can win the first disposal, much like how Collingwood has gained an upper hand in the middle with the recruitment of Tom Mitchell.
A massive win for Sydney would be Graham's pressure acts. As a midfield-forward this season he averages a strong 19.5 pressure acts per game. This would allow players like Isaac Heeney and Tom Papley to go to work in the forward third and create more scoring opportunities for the Swans.
