EVERYONE outside Sydney thought the Swans were down and out after losing their first six matches of 2017. Little did they know, they were on a mini rebuild.

The Swans have now won 10 of their past 11 and now everyone is talking top four and even the flag.

“That is just a ridiculous story, from 0-6 everyone was writing them off, to probably the form side of the competition,” Mick Warner said in the SuperFooty Podcast.

Sam Landsberger said the Swans have had a successful mini rebuild.

“They lost the grand final ... they rebuilt over the first six weeks and they’ve come good,” Sammy said with a laugh.

“I think over the form ladder since Round 6, they’re three games clear of the next best club.”
