interesting. i never new he signed a contract extension 2 weeks before he got traded. kinda takes the gloss off it a little bit for me. i always thought he got pushed out the door but it seems more like he would rather have been playing elsewhere.

Mills article: http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/cal...or-round-1-debut/story-e6frf33l-1227710492928

Callum Mills: Another Swans' academy gem that looks ready-made for senior footy after performing well in time trials and blitzing the skill work.
Tyrone Leonardis: Was drafted for his kicking ability and has shown that it's a hallmark of his game in contested work, and skill drills under pressure.
Jordan Dawson: Looks a likely prospectwith strong hands in marking contests and a booming left-foot kick. Still developing but as worked hard in his first few weeks.

ROOKIES
Tom Papley: The nuggety small forward is working hard on his tank and has looked more comfortable when the balls have come out.
Harry Marsh: One of the Swans' second tier that needs to stand up, and after being de-listed and re-drafted as a rookie, and looks hungry to show he deserves to be on the senior list.
Kyle Galloway: The raw ruckman has plenty of time to develop and has already shown some positive signs working alongside Kurt Tippett, Callum Sinclair and the rest of the Swans' big men.
Sam Murray: The mature-ager has attacked his first pre-season hard and while senior footy might be some time away, he doesn't look daunted by his surroundings.
Colin O'Riordan: The Irishman has picked up the game well, works extremely hard and has solid skills for an international rookie. – Adam Curley

AFL website editors really didn't look too closely at their Tom Papley comment did they.

I'm fine with him being gay, just as long as he does not spend too much time at training playing with the balls of other guys

“And then Lenny Hayes rang me – and you’re in trouble once Lenny Hayes calls ya, because you can’t say no to Lenny.

Thought that was humerous

FFooty on now SCG 94 ish when the Saints come flying home and Plugger knocks out Cavern, got Mooney early in game. We loose but always great to watch Kels

I feel sorry for the kid now. Sounds like he has a rather bad learning disability. I really hope he makes it in the AFL.

Just read the article and came to post it.

Hope he plays a few games next year and maybe this year.

Good insight into his football background as well which I wasn't aware of...if he can continue that trajectory of year-on-year improvement then there's no reason he can't develop into a solid footballer for us.

WTF? His Dad's name was Leo Leonardis.

Nice story though. Hasn't had an easy childhood. Sounds like Andrew Shakespeare had a fair bit to do with his progression.

 

[magic.merkin]

I really hope he can continue to grow on and off the field. He's overcome more than most, good luck bud. The swans will elevate him no doubt as a person.
