The Sydney Swans will look to the lessons provided by club legend Adam Goodes as they take some time away from the game before returning for pre – season training.

The Swans showed they were a much improved team on their 2015 season despite going down to the Bulldogs in the Grand Final.

Midfielder Dan Hanneberry (pictured) says despite the improved showing this year, the legacy left by Goodes will ensure the squad leave no stone unturned in their quest to go one better in 2017.
