Which team will make the leap in 2020?

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, but if history is any guide, at least one of 2019’s bottom-six teams will play finals this season.

Dons to “fight like hell” to retain Daniher long term

Essendon admit they’ll have to roll out the welcome mat for Joe Daniher after the Bombers and Swans failed to come to an agreement to trade the want-away forward, but insist the club will battle to keep him beyond 2020.

Why Essendon should delay losing Joe Daniher

Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro isn’t warm and fuzzy at the best of times, and he is positively seething at the minute. When prodded in public about Joe Daniher’s trade request, he uses words like “disappointing”. Behind closed doors, he’s probably about to implode.

Based in New South Wales since 1982, the Sydney Swans have been a team based in a predominantly rugby environment, and up until the last few years, they barely had any backyard talent for them to pick from to help develop a team.
