Yeah they seem to have a bit of a production line up there don't they. When you look at their ladder positions over the past 20 years they have never bottomed out. Since their grand final appearance in 1996, they have only missed finals 3 times in 20 years and the lowest they have finished is in 2009 when they were 12th in a competition with 16 teams. They seem to be able to develop young players like Heeney who seems to be on a level far beyond his years and I can't see them slipping down the pecking order any time soon. The impressive thing about Sydney is how they turn players who on the surface seem selfish and want to be the main man into consummate team players. I think Franklin and Tippett have become far more team oriented since they joined the Swans.
