Mills, Heeney and Jones are their next rung, but they play that system well, players know where to run and what to do, no matter who they bring in. Buddy brings the cream, but the others get the job done.
This is a good summary spf.
I'd add, Swans ability to possess the ball and adapt the tempo to advantage, and it's a done deal.
The cream on top for mine is, despite maintaining possession, the Swans also dominated in tackling and defensive pressure.
We haven't got the small forward role working just yet. We also lack speed out of defense and between the arcs.
That all said, our talented youngsters blundered (as did a limited older tall) a couple of sitters early. Had this gone the other way, the momentum and psychological attack may have seen a different outcome. Small errors with big impact = small improvement results in getting over the line. Not the end of the world imo, but clear areas to improve and instruction to our scouts.
