The Half Time Verdict: Sydney

Position: 11th
W/L: 5/7
Rubbish Factor: 50%
The Swans were never gonna be great this year - just another middle tier contender for positions 7-10 on the table - and the loss against the Pies sealed their fate. Big Bad Baz DOES get a raw deal and has some anger management issues, but can you imagine what it's like week in, week out? You look at the team sheet just hoping... surely the Gaffer will see the light this week? But nup, there he is, listed to fumble his way around the backline - LRT. What's going on there? The most startling thing is his selection doesn't raise eyebrows amongst the commentators. Is this some kind of masonic agreement?
As for the others, Leo Barry should have been GONE at the end of last year in favour of bringing a kiddie into the squad, and Crouch has seen better days, but Kirky, Mickey O, Goodsey, O'Keefe and Bazza are a long way ahead of the pack. Big win of the year has been Jolly - where did he come from? All in all, I can't see the Swans doing more than they have - they will go down big time to the Crows next week and sit in the bottom 8 for the rest of the year - and next.
