Sydney Swans 2023

[Presti35]

What happens from here and how do they rebound from GF humiliation?

You'd still think they'll be a top 8 side, but what does history say about sides the following year after being belted in the Grand Final?

Premiers the following year = Essendon (1983) and Hawthorn (1985).

Runners up again = Collingwood (1980) and Geelong (1994).

Finalists the following year = Melbourne (1988), Geelong (1995), Sydney (2014) and Western Bulldogs (2022).

Missed finals = Melbourne (1946), Carlton (1949), Collingwood (1956), Melbourne (2000), Port Adelaide (2007) and GWS (2019).


Recent history suggests Sydney scrape into the finals or miss out in 2023.
