While two names crossed over, there were some differences when discussing the real difference-makers.
See the names below:
King
1 - Sam Darcy (Western Bulldogs)Knee - 1-4 weeks
“The most important to come back is clearly Sam Darcy.”
2 - Hayden Young (Fremantle)Hamstring - 7-8 weeks
“In terms of being a difference-maker.”
3 - Errol Gulden (Sydney)Ankle - 2-3 weeks
“But for a season that’s already shot (for the Swans).”
4 - Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)Hamstring - 1 week
Edmund
1 - Errol Gulden (Sydney)Ankle - 2-3 weeks
“He’s that big of a difference-maker.”

3 - Brent Daniels (GWS)Abdomen - 1-2 weeks
“Don’t sleep on Brent Daniels please, for what they’re missing.”

“You asked biggest impact. If we’re going to pick on resumés then I would have done it differently.”
