Played a decent GF and gave everything. 21 disposals @ 85%DE. Was on 80% of the match. Could be a very valuable addition to our stocks now that he has some big game experience.

Signed until the end of 2017. Will he be in our future planning? I would assume 2018 and 19  will be his last opportunity to play with Nathan.

I thought he was serviceable but not great, he's not really a player you'd go after because he's simply not something special.

I agree. Although my positivity is more in his development potential because of his age (21)

If the club wants to bring in players who give their all, week to week and provide us with some additional toughness that doesn't come at a big cost, then adding in serviceable players isn't a bad thing.

sounds like a reasonable choice.......... TG it was not one of our usual howlers

Collingwood took Scharenberg and Freeman.  Yikes.

True, but we already have our fair share of "not so special" players.

And they are the ones most of us want to move on and try and get better ones.

He was ordinary at the start of the year but he's hard at it, excellent at turning a loose ball get in to forward momentum and just before he was injured his kicking was starting to go from hit and hope to signs of pretty decent vision. And he returned from a long lay off and concussion to play 1 very good  and 1 solid final.

I'd expect he'd have a break out year next year so if there was any way to grab him cheaply I would.

I think people are being a bit harsh with their assessment of his GF. In the heat of battle, his disposal and decision making was really good. Thought he was the best of the young Swans.

Swans must rate him highly to bring him back into the team for the finals, after a long lay off.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
