If a forward, there's such minimal risk, and such huge reward. Hard to go past! Only needs to get halfway back to his best to be worth it :)

Cons

Disposal - Despite being one of the best players in the AFL for years his disposal has always been just good, never elite. This showed last year more than ever, where it was a major reason he failed to crack 100 SC points in many 25+ disposal games.

Good would be a massive upgrade. Swan is one of the worst in the league, only just ahead of the other spud Cloke. Put it this way, Swan averages 1.7 more effective disposals than Liam Picken, a tagger.

I bet he doesn't finish in the top 6 forwards.

After 5 consecutive years of averaging over 117... I'd say most will back him in to average enough to be a keeper. Never heard of Liam picken getting 50 disposals a game before....

If he averages 95+ he is worth every cent.

If fit what is the likelihood he will average 95+?

Honestly think he will still play more forward and Bucks will give up&comers more mid time, Swans body is really starting to let him down and after another dodgy pre-season with surgeries i reckon he is priced slightly under what he will give 90-95 is my call, time will tell...i am thinking a fit Tich will average about the same for 65k less!

If he starts below what I was expecting and Titchell is killing it, it's an easy downgrade, but not vice versa.
