Sydney Swans: Selections

Sydney head coach John Longmire has made it perfectly clear that he will be picking the 22 most in form players at each position, with tried and tested favourites such as Ben McGlynn and Ted Richards seeing time in the reserves this year.

While the tactic has paid off so far, will work against them at finals time? Will Longmire continue to pick young key defender Aliir Aliir, with not more than a handful of games of experience, over dual premiership defender Richards?

The answer is that no one quite knows yet, and it’s fantastic for the club to have the headache in the first place. But as the old proverb goes, “a man with one watch will always know the time, a man with two is never quite sure”.
