SEN host Andy Maher is tipping the Sydney Swans to win the premiership in season 2022.
With a bit of a luck with injury, Maher believes the Swans can go all the way this year.
John Longmire’s side were the big bolter in 2021, winning 15 games to finish the home and away season in sixth spot, narrowly missing out on the top four berth on percentage.
Blessed with a plethora of a young talent and an ultra-consistent core group of senior players, the Swans appear well placed to mount another finals charge.
“The Sydney Football Club will win the premiership in 2022,” Maher told SEN’s The Run Home.
“I’m tipping the Swannies to win the flag.
“I like to go out on a bit of a limb. It’s too easy to pick Melbourne or the Western Bulldogs. The three favourites in most people’s estimations are the Bullies, the Dees and the Lions.
“If they (Swans) continue to get a little bit of luck with injury, they can win the flag this year.”
The Swans open their 2022 campaign against rivals GWS at Accor Stadium on Saturday.
Sydney veteran Lance Franklin is just five goals away from reaching the magical 1000-goal milestone heading into the Giants clash.
