Dane Rampe is most definitely in the twilight of a long and distinguished career and, like a few other experienced defenders across the league, he has been taking a back seat as younger models take up the cudgels at key positions. The retirement of Paddy McCartin has meant that the Swans have had to find another tall defender up the spine, however, and after trying out Aaron Francis the club has gone back to their leader to play that role. His presence enables Nick Blakey to play third tall and run off, making his ongoing availability indirectly fantasy-relevant.
