And gaining just 155m.Yeah he can run but he has no idea what spots to run to were he can get the ball.
I thought he was pretty average as well.
Whats the point of running 16ks and getting 11 touches.

The Suns were criticised for handing over pick 7 to Geelong in a deal that saw the Cats absorbing his $800,000 wage for 2023 and 2024.
But that decision was another reminder to Suns players how tight the cap was and in the subsequent months the club was able to off-set all three deals to improve its salary cap.
Swallow, seen as one of the Suns’ most loyal and beloved players, will take a pay cut of up to $200,000 in each of the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
He will be paid around $800,000 until the 2025 season and while it is still a healthy wage it highlights the premium the Suns have paid in the past to secure their stars.
Fiorini and Sexton were both due over $500,000 for the 2023 season, with a trade falling through for Fiorini at Collingwood when Tom Mitchell emerged as a gettable player.
Both will get an extra year through to 2025 but Fiorini now has the next two seasons to break into the senior side while playing for less than $300,000 in both of those seasons.
He deserves every cent he signed for, I feel bad that we are giving him a pay cut.I actually feel uncomfortable about how much Dave has done for this club. He has my utmost respect.
I wish more were like thatAs usual though he's team first
The really crazy part is Swallow moved to the Gold Coast in November 2009 at 16 years of age and he turns 31 later this year so he's spent almost half his life with us! He'll become our first ever 200 game player next week when we take on Geelong at Heritage and I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest he could reach 300. He's already solidified his status as a club legend and I really hope we can reward him for his loyalty with some deep finals runs over the next few years because he deserves it. A lot of credit needs to go to Swallow and Witta for turning the club culture around years ago when our own players weren't taking us seriously and would just leave as soon as a better offer came along.I wish more were like that

He's such a humble guy that I think he'd trade both of those honours for a single finals appearance. FWIW I actually think our club champion award will be named the 'Touk Miller Medal' when it's all said and done.Build the man a statue and name the club champion award after him.
300? That’s another 5 years at 20 games per.The really crazy part is Swallow moved to the Gold Coast in November 2009 at 16 years of age and he turns 31 later this year so he's spent almost half his life with us!

No current season stats available
He's only 30. Still got several years left in him and hopefully some final appearances added to the tally. I don't think 300 is unrealistic but 250 is definitely on the cards.300? That’s another 5 years at 20 games per.
We could recruit ****ing Zeus and it wouldn't improve this team.So... Harley Reid or Zane Duursma?

There’s been a lot of talk here over the past two years, that he’s almost cooked.He's only 30. Still got several years left in him and hopefully some final appearances added to the tally. I don't think 300 is unrealistic but 250 is definitely on the cards.
You guys need some genuine KPD’ers (so do we btw).Reid. Reid. Reid. Reid.
Reid is a can't miss prospect. You make that talent work.You guys need some genuine KPD’ers (so do we btw).
You get Reid and three academy kids this year, and you’re going to have to go the GWS route of trading out one or two talented kids or senior players to balance the books, or balance the list.
Time will tell. Some thought he was pretty much done in 2016 when he didn't recover well from his 2015 knee injury and needed surgery. Since 2017 he's played over 120 games for us and only missed about 12 over that 6 year stretch. So once again, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest he could get to 300 and I think 250 is very realistic for him.There’s been a lot of talk here over the past two years, that he’s almost cooked.
He might only be 30, but will his body handle a 4 more seasons after this one, without breaking down.
