List Mgmt. 2015 List Discussion (No rumours or hypotheticals please)

not at all, some players develop later. Melican will go ok. Don't discount this kid yet, have heard good reports and for all Cressa's faults, he's a good footy person

There is some footage of him on Vimeo. Do a Google search on Sam Murray Wodonga to locate it. He looks impressive but I am not sure how good the opposition are. Looks like a good outside midfielder.

On Darryn Creswell, I noticed that there was a Jake Creswell playing for Tasmania u12's this year. He would be the right age for Darryn's son Jake. Any idea if he is? Maybe a future father son.

Wonder if illegitimate sons would count?

We're just 61 games away from having dozens more father-son selections

Thanks, here's the vid (uploaded by Sam himself).


Immediate thoughts from that vid.
Doesn't lack confidence, nice turn of pace, handy in the air, can land a tackle but very left footed, kicking average and handballing is iffy.

 

[Swansujelly]

that music tho'

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Hmm. Has played 39 games for us. Who is that?

Ha ha

We may struggle to get there due to short contract

Very impressive and exciting but he doesn't have a right foot. He will either need to be so quick it won't matter or learn to kick on his right at AFL level.

Ah, Tom Mitchell.

Same mould as Tom Mitchell, Nick Smith, Jarad McVeigh, Jake Lloyd, Kieren Jack...the list goes on!

 

[swansfan51]

Starts with L and ends with ance Franklin

I don't think we have ever had a player named Latance Franklin.

Judging by this post, you're expecting that Lance will have dozens of babies? Geez he'd better get a move on. He doesn't have a single one yet.

Also we would have to fight scumthorn for them.

Tom Mitchell is on 39 games for us too. What are the odds?

After 100 girls in 100 days there should be a few around

Is this off topic

I agree with you about Melican and if Cressa says this bloke will be ok then I'd reckon we should at least Rookie him.

Pleased to see that.
Thought for a while in 2015 he might be on the outer but did well enough IMO when he got the chance. Still think he shows enough promise to establish himself as a regular.
Like to see Rohan move to HB/wing and BJ given an opportunity as the pressure forward, with occasional m/f rotation.

Crap!

 

[GoTheSwannies]

He showed a bit towards the end of the year. Still looks pretty raw but could be something. Seems to lack a bit of awareness on the field tho. His speed could really give us something in pressure.

 

[RUNVS]

Crap!

Why? Brandan is good depth. Believe it or not the Swans have terrible depth so not losing guys like Brandan is important.

 

[scaryness]

Would he have gotten a contract if his last name wasn't Jack?

Yes
