All have agreed his decision to head north and form a tandem with Darren Jolly would only strengthen last year's runners-up.
So far most of the talk about the move has come from the star recruit and his warm feelings about his new teammates.
But one man clearly enjoying the former Hawk's arrival in Sydney - as evidenced by his superb display against the Brisbane Lions on Sunday - is the other half of the Swans' star ruck duo.
Jolly was outstanding for the home side in their 27-point win over a plucky Brisbane outfit.
After being down by 10 points at the last change, a fresher Swans team had too much run for the visitors and kicked clear with 13 scoring shots to one in a lop-sided final term.
Perhaps that freshness was no more evident than when Jolly baulked two Lions opponents on the SCG wing and pumped the ball inside his attacking 50m arc.
Or perhaps Swans fans should get used to seeing more of this in 2007, as a more-rested, fitter Jolly runs out in the red and white each week?
"Yeah, I thought I was a midfielder there at one stage," Jolly said of his side-stepping display along the members' wing.
"I thought I might have tried to do too much, but it managed to come off."I had a good day. I just wanted to work on a few things and get through the game unscathed, so it was good."
Jolly was clearly the most effective of the four ruckmen on the ground during the Swans-Lions clash - winning 33 hit-outs, gathering 14 possessions and laying six tackles.
A week after Everitt's impressive performance against Richmond, the shoe was on the other foot with Jolly taking the lead role.
The man who for much of last year had to carry the Swans' rucking duties believes Everitt's addition will benefit the team in a number of ways.
"Obviously Spida's a different (type of) ruckman to me and the combination's a good combination and it's working well," he said.
"It's good to have another experienced ruckman to come up and play with you. It's a good challenge, it's healthy competition.
"We both want to play well to keep our spots, with obviously Stephen Doyle coming up as well, so it's all good and makes us play better."
Jolly spent much of 2006 nursing a knee complaint, while a finger injury hampered his finals series.
But with another quality ruckman in the side, he is getting far less game time and his body is thanking him for it.
"At this stage, I'm injury-free and everything's going really well," Jolly said.
