The Swans’ defence has stood strong so far in 2016 and their midfield is full of stars, but coach John Longmire might be searching for more run from his side in the second half of the season. Youngster Zak Jones is the team’s top-ranked player for running bounces per game, but he’s way down the list at number 72, and star forward Lance Franklin is the Swans’ leader for metres gained, and he’s only just scraped into the top 20.
