Simpson credits Davis, Riggio, Harding for Swans' resurgence

Saturday, June 28, 2014 - 10:01 AM - by Chris Pike

Much of the focus on Swan Districts coming into the season was surrounding the departure of senior players Wayde Twomey, Brett Robinson, Kyle Hams, Shaun Hildebrandt and Tom Roach, but the result has been the remaining players pulling together and playing with huge passion and spirit. That now sees Swans sit just percentage off top spot with 10 wins from 12 matches this season following last Saturday's remarkable comeback win over South Fremantle at Fremantle Oval with the black-and-whites to regain top spot with a win over Claremont at Steel Blue Oval this Saturday.
