Toast Welcome to Fremantle Adam Sweid - Pick 25 of the 2025 AFL Draft

[Snuffaluphagus]

Rat cunning!

It would have been interesting listen to the discussion before the bid. Wonder if they rated Williams and/or Ison higher but thought Sweid was the best chance to actually be passed on

 

[deputy]

Would like to think a Diesel Williams likeness .Hope he's half as good

Essendon are going to regret not matching that bid.

Voss and now Sweid

 

[Piggy Smalls]

The West are reporting he had a 3 second 20m sprint

That tracks, you'd want your smalls under the 3 second mark generally (to be considered fast).

I wonder if there is some rounding down as well in that time

 

[CapitalA]

But if we just went off what everyone told us it would be boring. Evasive I agree with.

Now, we are all complete nuffies but does anyone think he looks fast in his videos?

I'll say that if he's actually fast he'll be a gun because his work rate looks elite and decision making pretty good.

Does anyone have his combine speed results?

He doesn't look fast but then I looked at the guys chasing him and they are full tilt and not catching him.

I was wondering the same thing about the rounding

 

[Piggy Smalls]

He's clearly a jet. Wallsy doesn't miss on first rounders

 

[giantroo]

Apparently very close to another kid in the same program. Maybe we can rookie him.

That would be Huss (right)

Wow that guy behind him is an absolute unit. Some good genes there maybe.

I am quite happy with the pick, there's a high chance all picks in this range are a bust, so we have got a need and one with perhaps some hidden potential.

Looks like he is a footballer who can kick and handball both sides. I'll back this kid in to learn from Switta, Serong, Reid and become a player.

Clearly loves the contest too, which is a big plus.

It may be draft night fluff but it looks like we got extremely lucky here

There is a joke there with just HOW he got to that size and the Essendon links but I'll leave it at the insinuation of the joke...

The more I watch the more I like, the evasiveness is more around spatial awareness, as is the over the head handballs to teammates, he’s not as good as Reid but he’s a freak, it’s definitely very good footy nous that makes him seem “explosive” as he finds a way through traffic. The rugged tackling is more Switta-esk.
Honestly pretty good for a pick 25 Reid-Switta cross

He’s exactly what we needed tbh. Switta type replacement. He can do a Reid this season and play off half forward

Too melbournian. Giving me Adam cerra vibes.

Please. Sweid has the ability to display human emotion.

 

[Eski3]

Too melbournian. Giving me Adam cerra vibes.

To be fair we've got absolutely no idea, it depends on the kid. Murphy Reid had extremely Melbournian vibes

 

[yakamoto]

Wow! Steal of the draft two years running.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Finally got time to watch the highlights. Knows where the goals are. We're starting to get quite a few goal kickers in that mid-forward rotation role

Young
Bolton
Reid
Sweid

I like it.

 

[freo84]

Sweid dreams are made of this!

 

[rgauci]

Man he’s so young, just a kid, feeling a bit guilty for being disappointed at the selection. Like his background, just wanted a general athlete because we aren’t the most athletic group. Jordan Clark aside, not a lot of straight line speed, height or agility in our squad. I’m not sure he’s a pressure forward at the next level. Endurance ok, speed meh, haven’t seen any sign of speed in the highlights, genuinely quick kids tuck the ball and go. Seems like a good footy IQ and strong over the ball ala Serong. We lack pressure closing down options across the ground. So many times teams can just chip it around without us getting anywhere near it.

He has about 100 identical twins

I'm not sure about Hadfeild but Broadmeadows and further north is a dump..
Should go alright in Perth.
