James Bell

Player Profile
QBE Sydney Swans Academy product James Bell was rewarded for shining NEAFL form when he was called up for his AFL debut against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in Round 21, 2019. The young Swan is one of Sydney’s quickest players, attacks the footy hard and can play on the inside of the midfield, on a wing or at half-forward. In a tribute to his family, Bell celebrated his first AFL goal with a striking Indigenous dance at the MCG in Round 22 last year.

Oh god why HOW LOW could the bar be that he triggered a EXTENSION.

Useless list management.

Sydney's James Bell is in that category, with the Swans forward reaching his trigger for a one-year extension for 2022.

Bell has played 11 games this season, three of which have been as the unused medical substitute. He has played the Swans' past seven games as a member of their starting side.

If medical sub games count, then he's met the trigger for 2022...

List Manager Beatson and Longmire. It getting a bit old with list managing caper. Tippett contract pre Beatson

What was wrong with Melican , he was far from the worst !.

 

[bedford]

I REALLY HOPE THIS THREAD MOVES TO THE PAST PLAYERS THREAD , HE IS A SPUD AND WOULD STRUGGLE IN A TRUE VFL TEAM . THE MONEY PAID TO THIS SPUD CAN HELP TO PAY PARKER etc

 

[Punts]

What was wrong with Melican , he was far from the worst !.

Allowed 8-9 contested marks to his opponents

He also has to mark the ****ing ball instead of dumb punching

 

[Tedeski]

He was pretty good actually.
If he gets a good run at it he can contribute going forward.
McCartin is becoming Aliir mark 2. A worry at times in defence but will ve a star when he leaves us at peak age.

Had to punch , it's an instinct , can't all be intercept . Allowed 8 or 9 ffs , not his fault the way the ball come in and the blocking they got away with and the blocking they did in our forward line.
Get used to it he's not going anywhere , as for Bell he can go and play for Columbia , or anywhere away from us

No thanks atm too angry , your so pissed off about AA you can't see the real picture

 

[Olian]

Still a spud. He has no idea. On positive he’s a great runner. This will be handy when the swans put a team in the Paris Olympics.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

What was wrong with Melican , he was far from the worst !.

by that I assume you mean he plays on the opposite side of the ground to Bell.

 

[Superstar swan]

Couldn’t believe the audacity of him to take that set shot from 45m, never had a chance and put it out on the full.

Hope he really feels shit tonight

The kicking style was a cross kick like a rugby player , maybe that's where his future lies , because he's a terrible AFL player

 

[The King!]

leave him in Tassie, old launcestonian seconds need a runner for the drinks

 

[Tedeski]

Ahh geez!
This club has fkd us over Bedders & Punts.
We had no right to make finals yet & we did easily.
We had no right to almost pinch it with that team & we almost did.
I say we've been fkd over because we could have just tossed in the towel when they goaled first up in the third to go 31 up but we knuckled down, with Melican, COR & Bell there in the team & should have won by 4 goals.
6 goals to the tossers in the second without reply , a goal in tge last 30 seconds of the first 3 quarters & 2.7 to 1 behind in the last says we coughed it up.
GWS are imposters in this finals series & we let them continue the hoax.

 

[Kapers]

As time goes on I really feel for James. Some blokes aren't afl standard, but that says nothing of their work ethic and character.

I truely hope he makes it to afl standard, but after today's performance I don't have much hope for him.

I will admit I posted out of anger, and I'll cop that flak, but the coaches have to make decisions that are best for the team, and I don't feel that Bell today was best for the team.

 

[The King!]

yeah seems hard working, nice bloke, better than we could everhope to be

 

[Kapers]

100%, no player ever wants to miss a shot, and he'll be hurting more than anyone.

 

[caesar88]

A bloke many of us suspected wasn't good enough for a final wasn't good enough for a final. Think that's all that needs to be said.

 

[Nuggetz]

Natural progression of our youngsters will see him easily pushed out of the top 22. He's a depth player for a game or two during the regular season but shouldn't play in finals unless we're decimated by injuries.

We weren't decimated today no excuse for him to be picked ahead of others.

He was average. He was average before today. Nothing had changed: He froze when the ball went near him in a contest. A list clogger.

A few of the boys froze when the ball went near them.
