Justin McInerney
Sydney Swans youngster Justin McInerney is lightning-quick, an endurance machine and a clean user of the footy who’s best used on a wing or at half-back. The Northern Knights product was called up for his AFL debut against Melbourne at the SCG in Round 4, 2019, and although he wouldn’t feature at the top level again in his first year at the club, he was a stand-out in the NEAFL. McInerney is eyeing more opportunities at senior level in 2020.

It'll be interesting to see the impact of no Juzzy on the team for the next few games. Sounds like he's been used by our coaches as a swiss army knife this season, who replaces him in that role?
 
campbell?
I was thinking that as well. I watched the replay last night and noticed Campbell taking on tacklers by spinning out of the tackle on two occasions. Several weeks ago he would never have done that so it looks like his confidence is building and he may become a different player. It is, however, incremental at the moment.

Juzzy is one of the best in the AFL for hitting a forward on a lead and therefore rarely takes a shot at goal but rather prefers to look for a teammate. What we will miss with no Juzzy is (apart from Errol) another player who will play through the wing and then hit a forward on the chest. The only other player who may have the tools to do that in a similar way is Campbell.
