Nah, classic dud. He was far too soft to make it at afl level. Probably 10x harder than me but didn't have that edge to his game.

What a useless spud!

Matt Priddis amirightguys!
Ashley Sampi. As far as potential goes he dudded us. The amount of untouched talent in that guy is huge.
Yep agree 100%...Never understood why he was highly rated? His games in 2009 were not that good and he all did was butcher the ball everytime he got it.
Had 3 votes in one game.. just sayin.
Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls, saw him play one of the best quarters on WAFL football when he came to the club got me super hyped because of it.
You don't understand Chris, in his pre draft years Swifta was the next Voss. Oh the humanity of it all, the medical world needed a hero... Tom said please medical world pick me to be your guinea pig (or horse). The medicine did nab him from under our noses.
Tom gave being the next Voss a one fingered salute to instead be a medical crusader, an equine doctor because he didn't feel included at West Coast and wanted to hang with his long necked buddies in the stables.*
*Tom training to be an equine doctor is arguably not factual.
I was there for that game against Richmond. Was genuinely excited that he would start playing to his potential from then on. Pretty sure that was his last game for the club. Spangher also chopped up in that game.
Nah it was in 2009. He played a year or two more after that
Bloody hell you're right. I guess I erased the rest of his career from my memory.
The breakaway from stoppages was pretty awesome, I still think if he was 100% commited he would of been a great inside mid once his body filled out.

Swift's 09 was fantastic, especially his last 5 or 6 games. They were more impressive in the sense he was showing a lot of quality attributes and upside considering where he came from.
Excuse me? Sure they're no Michael Embley, Tony Notte or Bendan Retzlaff but hey, who is?Robbie West, Paul Mifka (anyone from WP really!) Joey Cormack was a pretty good spud too.

Always enjoy when someone tries the Swift 09 retcon.

The problem was all of the weight his body put on went into his neck.

Even though I was young as hell at the time I still remember when we drafted him all I heard on the news was 'This Victorian school boy will be one of the picks of the draft, blah blah blah'
