Sydney had its list relatively set, with its main target retaining star and role players.
But after the Swans scandal that rocked the club, uncertainty has rained over the Bloods, as well as the futures of the five involved.
Nick Blakey has been linked to a trade move, while Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner are contracted for next year, but could they be shown the door?
Planning for life without those three has highlighted some positional needs, as well as where Sydney could look to rival clubs for reinforcements.
Jake Stringer
An exit from the Giants has opened the door for a fourth club to swoop on the goal-kicking machine.
Stringer considered joining the Swans before he went to GWS, and produced a near career-best season, slotting 48 goals (and 45 behinds).
Given the uncertainty surrounding multiple Sydney stars, could Dean Cox and his team make a play for the 32-year-old?
He did indicate a return to Victoria, but could he be swayed to remain in the Harbour City?
As for the Swans, the moneyball acquisition would help Cox and his side remain in premiership contention, whilst bolstering the front half.
