Swan was pick 58.
Of course no one was calling for dismissal.
To even compare the pair shows ignorance of the system.

Would have thought the fact he was a late pick would make people more likely to be calling for his head.

Late picks tend to get shorter grace periods before the delisting calls start. Goodyear was getting calls within about 12 months from memory.
 
I'm as puzzled as anybody about this kid. Every single time I watch him at training I'm taken by his smooth movement and fabulous build. I can imagine what a silky on-baller he could be. But as I continue watching I conclude that he rarely gets his hands on the ball other than in drills. When it comes to match play, runs around and rarely gets the ball. Now this could be that he has had such little time on the track that his teammates don't 'see' him, but they see McLarty and Liam Mackie well enough. Mackie was a ball-magnet in the preseason.

I'm beginning to think that he doesn't have footy judgement; he doesn't have the instinct if you like, of anticipating where the ball is going to end up. He's still only 19 though, so he gets another year for mine.

Agree another year, he is cheap plus may as well see it through. Hopefully sans injuries.

It reminds me of something Knightmare uses as an expression at times.

Allergic to the ball.

Let's hope that's not the case, because would it not be nice to have smooth beast like player on our hands.

You keep saying cheap but I really don't see why that would come into any consideration when a draftee would be equally as cheap.

Because one is in system looks big looks smooth
Been injured lots

So that seems like he might make it but if not, ce la vie ce la guerre

He also looks like he can't touch the ball. But that's not my point, price is irrelevant because the player replacing him will be equally as cheap.

I'm also not sure looking smooth is that great a quality, Swan looked like a duck when he ran.

Should be delisted and re rookied depending on what's available IMO.

And that's a fair enough assessment too.

As he's been injured I'd pluck another year for him.

But insiders know where he's at.

If my main fear is not realised then can't see harm in another year. My main fear is if he is allergic to the ball.

But I trust the group of coaches to make that call
 
It is going to be an interesting month for young Brayden. He can break down again and leave his fate to chance or like Schazz a couple of years ago play finals in the VFL and show a little. Either way I'm all for keeping him on the list another year or two.
 
We need to start recruiting footballers rather than athletes trying to be footballers.

Feels like we went that way last year, hopefully trend continues.

Regardless of how big this kid is and how he moves , if he has no footy brain then delist if he has shown nothing at a second tier level

EFA
 
I haven't seen enough of Sier (I suppose not many of us have), so I don't have any categorical view on where he'll end up. I just wanted to say that he's not without some footy smarts, from the little I've seen. He seems to stand up and use his body well in congestion (e.g. being able to use his body as a shield while dishing off).

My concern is that he just doesn't get enough of the ball to make such virtues meaningful, and I don't know whether he's got any more tricks to his game, but I suspect all will be revealed next season.

Didn't he have 18 disposals from 3 quarters last week? Granted, the opposition was rubbish, but it would be nice to see what he can achieve with a clean run at it before writing him off completely.

So he's starting to show he can find the ball?

If he does I have no problem keeping him.
 
Posted last week he should tackle more, 8 tackles to go with his 17 possessions this week. Good work! Consistently gathering around 17/18 possessions a game now. You would hope he pushes up into the early twenties next year and by the time he is 21 should be averaging around 30 possessions a game in the VFL and eyeing a mid field spot in the AFL. Coming along nicely!

Would you put him on the rookie list, or keep him on the senior for one more year?
