Sydney Swans odds
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.
There were some doubts about Sydney’s immediate future following two consecutive bottom-four finishes. However, the depth of young talent on the list shone through in 2021 as the Swans bolted into the top six.
How will John Longmire and his charges fare this year? Let’s check in with the bookies and see how the Swans are shaping up in the major AFL betting markets for 2022.

Sydney Swans best bets for the 2022 AFL season
Where are the best Sydney bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- It looked like the Swans were in for a lengthy rebuild, but last year they stormed back into the finals equation. With so many talented youngsters coming through alongside their established stars, the premiership window might be open again.
- The Swans finished sixth on the ladder in 2021, missing the top four only on percentage. With so many stars on the rise, it is very easy to see Sydney stepping up again this season.
- Like last year, Sydney could have several live chances in the Rising Star betting this season. We have only seen a little bit of Braeden Campbell and Logan McDonald in the AFL so far, but both showed enough to suggest they could be real chances to take out the award in 2022.

Swans players to watch in 2022
Isaac Heeney
Born: 5/5/1996
Games: 129
Goals: 148
Position: Half-forward
For talent alone, there are few players in the competition who belong in the same bracket as Isaac Heeney. Is this the year he finally shrugs off his injury issues, shows some consistency and cracks into the upper crust of AFL stars?
Lance Franklin
Born: 30/1/1987
Games: 318
Goals: 995
Position: Forward
Now 35, Buddy Franklin is only five majors away from joining the likes of Tony Lockett, Jason Dunstall and Gary Ablett Sr in the 1,000-goal club. Has he got one or two more big seasons left in him? If so, the Swans could go deep.
Paddy McCartin
Born: 19/4/1996
Games: 35
Goals: 34
Position: Defender
Eyebrows were raised when the Swans added Paddy McCartin to their list in January, but they disappeared into hairlines when it was revealed the former no.1 draft pick would be lining up in defence. If preseason form translates to the real stuff, this could prove to be one hell of a signing.
