Interesting article; We might take him or we might not, but if we do then he might play forward or he might play back. Actually he would be good in case Buddy went down, but we are well served by having McDonald there if he does. But he could also be another McGovern but we don't know.

I think I preferred reading about Morrison's haircut.

Hopefully at the neck

 

[momentbymoment]

hasn't he been doing a bit of that for a while?

But has he done the catwalk?
Without a football …

Paddy is a dud

You need to get back to the draft thread , the expert has taken the Bronze medal off you.

Harsh. Anything beats Morrison's haircut.

Buddy preparing for his modelling career …

I thought he was looking at a career in waste management services.

AFL.com.au pretty sure we're well into Corey Warner.
Sorry, don't know how to link. Quite a nice piece. Sounds a good kid.

Could another Warner end up on Sydney's list?

Corey Warner could follow in his brother Chad's footsteps, with the Swans showing interest in the young midfielder

Is Warner really 19 though? That is quite old for a draftee.

No, just turned 18 from what I could see.

So that was a really weird mistake for the AFL site to make.

The AFL Website is notoriously diabolical. Only the Cricket Australia site makes it look competent

The morons no longer provide first class averages. Just Test and the Tower of Babel.

It is a joke. I encourage everyone to provide decent feedback.

How your AFL team can improve in 2022

As teams start returning for official pre-season training, game plans and areas of improvement for 2022 are being finalised. Football reporter Jon Pierik and Champion Data’s Louie Kebakovski run the rule over your team.

www.theage.com.au

Despite the article's title hardly the most comprehensive analysis you'll find.

This is it for the Swans;

The return of Lance Franklin gave the Swans greater potency up forward. His kicking efficiency this season (64.3 per cent) and shot-at-goal accuracy (61.4) was the best it’s been since his second season of 2006. On a wider scale, however, conversion was a key for John Longmire’s team. In wins, it scored from 48.4 per cent of inside 50s – ranked second. In defeats, that figure dropped to 34.1 per cent, ranked last in the league.

(pick No.11), Cyril Rioli (pick No.12)

When Hawthorn called Rioli's name in 2007 immediately after Sydney's pick, surely Swans officials murmured, 'What have we done', crossed a finger or two, and silently prayed. Of course, those prayers fell on deaf ears. Rioli would become one of the greatest small forwards of all time with three flags to his name and a Norm Smith Medal, Veszpremi would last just three years at Sydney before joining the Bulldogs and hanging up the boots at the end of 2013. Curiously, the Swans did pick up Nick Smith, Rioli's Scotch College teammate and captain, in the rookie draft. Just maybe they should have chatted with Nick about Cyril's talents prior to that national draft. - Cameron Noakes

Not really our fault,

Rioli told multiple clubs he didn't want to leave Vic and was considered a flight risk.

Veszpremi had all the talent in the world, just didn't work hard enough for it.
