Hey Jude! How Swans legend is helping WA draft fancy
Talented Swan Districts teen Zane Trew opens up on his shock message from idol Jude Bolton, the uncertainty of his draft year, bouncing back from injury and how he’s staying motivated.

Zane Trew was shaking. The talented Swan Districts teen had just woken up to a text from his idol, Sydney legend Jude Bolton. “Give me a ring in five minutes.” The long-time Swans supporter, one of WA’s top draft hopefuls this year, couldn’t believe it. His league coach Adam Pickering played alongside Bolton, a dual AFL premiership hero and 325-gamer, at TAC Cup level for Calder Cannons more than two decades ago and got the pair in touch.
“I’ve been going for Sydney Swans my whole life, Jude Bolton and Brett Kirk were two of my favourites as a kid,” Trew said. “Pickers used to play in his under-18s side so gave him my number and he messaged me one morning. “We had a general chat about footy and life and he said ‘I’m here if you ever need a chat or want to talk about footy’. “I just thought that was unreal, he’s an AFL legend and he’s coming to a kid who’s just starting his football journey and giving him this advice and letting him know he’ll be there for a chat. “It shows the character of Jude, I thought it was awesome. I was shaking when I called him, I couldn’t believe it at first. “He just told me to keep doing what I’m doing, training hard and take everything as it comes as you only get one draft year so you may as well make the most of it.” Bolton’s advice is still ringing true, despite the uncertainty of Trew’s draft year because of the global coronavirus pandemic.
Even though it’s been nearly a year since the big-bodied midfielder’s last game due to a serious shoulder injury and now the COVID-19 delays, Trew has an upbeat perspective. He has been working hard in the gym of his family’s Caversham home, making sure he’s ready for his next game, whenever that might be. “I’m just trying to use it as an opportunity to get fitter, stronger and prep the body,” he said. “Obviously it sits in the back of your mind that it’s going to be a bit of different year and not what you expected, but it will all take care of itself. “It sort of shook me a bit knowing that footy wouldn’t start for a bit, but I’ve just been trying to stick with what I know and what the coaches have given me with gym and running programs. “I’m just trying to prepare myself as best as I can for when we do play footy again.”
Likened to two-time Richmond premiership skipper Trent Cotchin because of his ability to play inside and outside midfield, Trew had a blistering start to 2019. His 40-possession, 10-tackle game against Perth in round three was one of the best individual colts performances of the year. Watch Trew’s highlights in the video player above But a week later, while playing for the Australian under-17s against New Zealand, his season was done. “It was in the All-Australian game over at Marvel Stadium on Anzac Day,” Trew recalled. “I did it in the first quarter and I just kept playing through it which is a bit silly, I did it about five times during the game. “I think it slipped up in a tackle, then it fully came out in the last quarter.” Now fully recovered, Trew had high hopes for 2020 after a big pre-season, with his first goal to play senior footy.
An intra-club gig alongside new midfield recruits Frank Anderson and Sam Fisher had his dream within touching distance until the sporting world was turned upside down. “I was extremely excited because I got to play inside midfield in a league scratchy and was really getting a taste for it after missing a lot of footy last year with my shoulder,” Trew said. “I got to play alongside a lot of the senior players who I’ve looked up to for a very long time like Tony Notte and Corey Gault, and a couple of new ones from Vic, Frank Anderson and Sam Fisher, who I’ve worked really closely with in the midfield over the last few months. “I was definitely hoping to play league round one.”
Coronavirus also affected a couple of planned meetings with AFL clubs, Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs in touch. The Crows interview became a FaceTime call, while Bulldogs recruiters were forced to cancel their trip to WA. Trew’s father Dean was in Perth’s WAFL squad, the same time as his manager Andrew McDougall, before work commitments got in the way. “I never got to watch him play, it would’ve been nice,” Zane said. “Dad was more of a forward, he reckons he took a few screamers back in the day and kicked a couple of bags of 10.”
His girlfriend Mia’s older brother Jake Pasini, a Port Adelaide rookie and fellow Swan Districts product, has also been a positive influence. “He’s been good, he’s told me what it’s like and how the transition is and all that sort of stuff,” Trew said. “I do more things with him now he’s been back in Perth and he’s been coming over and using my gym. “He’s good to bounce ideas off and it’s been good to pick his brains about life in the AFL.

Im sure Trew believers, to good to be Trew, the Trew hurts, dream come Trew is something we would have all been subjected to at some stage. … oh well plenty of weeks left for that.

And now we get to play the fun game, who on this page is on Dan's ignore list
Great quarter Trew
Not against another year based on that quarter of he can string games together.
Keen to see Clark and Trew in the guts to see what they can offer. Even if we lose games we also need to make to right list calls going forward, and that requires game time.
Incidentally I've been harsh on West but he's been good. Can see why the match committee have preferred him over the other midfield depth. But who knows, Clark and Trew might be able to do as well or even better if given an extended run

Worth persevering with the Trews and O'Neill types over the mature WAFL guys?
At the very least their game time should be prioritised.

Absolutely. The mature WAFL guys are depth. They are about as good as they will ever be. They may dominate at WAFL but they won’t at AFL These kids have really only played juniors. We need to see if they can develop.

Thought he showed plenty.
A decent run at it with injury and another pre season and I reckon we've got a good one here.
