The Blues have doubled down on their existing squad to break the near three-decade premiership drought rather than seek improvement by being bold. Given the evenness in the competition, it’s hard to argue fully against the sentiment – they have the quality to do damage, although the coaching has always seemed to be tactically capped. Last week we celebrated Collingwood going all in to try to win another premiership and commended the bravery. Carlton’s gone in a different direction.

Collingwood’s pursuit of Dan Houston is logical, and criticising a team going all in for another flag flies in the face of what this competition is all about. Since entering the conversation around the Port star, critics have come out in full force against the Magpies seeking to use up more draft capital to recruit an experienced player, rather than replenishing their seemingly evaporating young talent pool.

North Melbourne is doing the absolute right thing in chasing veterans heading into the 2024 player movement period. Already, we’ve heard plenty of names linked with North. Luke Parker has requested a trade to the club, Jack Darling seems to be on his way too. There’s significant interest in Caleb Daniel and we just know that coach Alastair Clarkson will give it his all to entice Dan Houston to come across.

There’s something particularly special about the 2024 grand final being contested between the last two runners-up, with coaches at the helm who are desperate for the vindication that success brings. For both John Longmire and Chris Fagan, this match is legacy-defining, one way or another. In 2024, the Swans were clear for much of the season, but perhaps in the final third, more questions arose than answers provided.

The Swans are expected to handle Port Adelaide comfortably and really, win the premiership in 2024. That’s hardly a revolutionary statement, but it’s one that tends to irk the nervous fans and perhaps even players of whichever team carries all that weight, following a successful overall home-and-away season where they finish a game and percentage clear atop the ladder. It really leaves us with the question, can the Swans handle the pressure of expectation?
