Sydney are one of the surprise packets of season 2021, with their meteoric rise up the table being one of the feel-good stories of the year.
The amount of talent that the side possess now is truly frightening and if they are this far up the table with most of their youngsters still relatively fresh-faced, imagine what they will look like even two years down the track.
Still, some departures this year could see the side with a few holes in it and with this the club may need to look to the market to find solutions.

In no particular order, here are five players which the Swans recruitment team would do well to target and potentially poach.
5. Elliott Himmelberg
A gun key-forward that could be a star in the future is Adelaide's Elliott Himmelberg.
The 23-year-old has not had as much time in the sun as cross-town counterpart Todd Marshall, but Himmelberg does have potential to go far in his footballing career.
Despite this, he has had a rough season 2021, with the prodigious Riley Thilthorpe keeping him out of the side for the bulk of the year.
His lack of game time could be the trigger for him to explore other avenues should things not improve by the time his contract expires at the end of 2022.
The Swans will want to secure another key forward, with Lance Franklin's retirement on the horizon and Himmelberg could be it.

He wouldn't cost a heap and he still has plenty of space to develop as a player - something Sydney are very, very good at doing.
Keep an eye on this one if he fails to break into the side. The 'Big Easy' could find himself playing against his brother Harry in the Battle of the Bridge in the near future.
