The Sydney Swans became an entity in 1982, when the then-VFL relocated South Melbourne, long known as the Bloods, to form the first non-Victorian team in the competition we now know as the Australian Football League.
After many decades of misery, the Swans have emerged as perennial contenders. They have played in five grand finals for two flags since 2005, when they ended a 72-year premiership drought with a nail-biting victory over the West Coast Eagles.
The Swans started slowly in 2023 but rallied in the back half of the season to nab eighth spot and take part in another finals series. However, “The Bloods” would lose by a goal to Carlton in the first week. Sydney were dealt another blow post-season as their co-captain Callum Mills suffered a major shoulder injury on “Mad Monday”, which will see him miss the first half of the year.
Can John Longmire take his young squad back to the “big dance” again this year? Let’s check in with the bookies and see how the Swans are shaping up in the major AFL betting markets for 2024.

Born: 18/7/2002
Games: 67
Goals: 54
Position: Midfielder
Errol Gulden had a career-best season in 2023, averaging just under 27 disposals and one goal per game from 24 matches. In what was his third season in the AFL, Gulden was recognised for his outstanding season with his first All Australian selection. The 21-year-old won the Bob Skilton Medal (Sydney Best & Fairest) and finished fourth in the Brownlow Medal with 27 votes. There is no doubt that Gulden will continue to improve his game and become one of the league’s best players in no time at all.
Born: 4/4/2002
Games: 44
Goals: 56
Position: Forward
Logan McDonald will take over as the number one forward for the Swans, after his mentor and all-time great Lance “Buddy” Franklin retired at the end of 2023. In his fourth year, McDonald will have to take his game to the next level and take the best defender week in and week out. The 21-year-old doubled his goals tally in 2023 and if he can continue to improve and kick 50+ goals in 2024, he will help the Swans premiership chances greatly.
Born: 15/4/1994
Games: 194
Goals: 70
Position: Ruck
Brodie Grundy found his third football team in the off-season after his move to Melbourne didn’t go as planned in 2023. The 29-year-old played most of the season in the VFL trying to learn to be a forward, but it was clear to everyone that it wasn’t going to work at the Demons. Grundy will be the number one ruckman for the Swans, which is the position that he was looking for in a new team for 2024. If Grundy can stay fit, he will play a big role in taking Sydney deep into another finals series.
