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

[Ghost Pig]

Wow, just watched that interview, the kind of confidence Fyfey would be proud of!

Pair that with comments he made in an earlier interview about being stronger than the big bodied mids of his class, I know I'm going early but I reckon we have an enforcer on our hands, a babyfaced, purple draped Paul Chapman

Is it just me or is there a bit of Ballas about him?

Similar height and build, although I assume Sweid will get bigger in the AFL system. I haven't seen him give it to one person in any highlight video so probably not the same attitude.

 

[Purple Suit]

Ala Bruce, he has taken it personally

Giving him number 19. That way he can be right next to Voss to help pass on the extra bit of motivation so he can kick a ripping revenge point against them.

Being close to Murphy Reid and Bolton will surely help too with his craft.

 

[Freo Shark]

Love the kid already. He's practically jumping off the walls with excitement lol.

Geez changed alot from Mama's boy Jeff White!!!

i like your way of thinking!

Not to change the subject, but how good was Voss' goal against Essendon and the call by BT

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Has the body shape of Jesse Motlop and a bit of his movements

Seems more defensive then JM

 

[Paracleet]

Motlop is a lazy comparison. Motlop is an out and out forward and was drafted as one. This kid is primarily a midfielder who can play HFF. He's basically another Murphy Reid.

 

[freo_leo29]

Club not updating the Omny.fm surely there are more interviews out there by now?

 

[greatgatsby]

Love how in his club interview, he was basically lobbying the coach for a game. "I can play forward too ... I can sniff out a goal." Just give him Murphy's spot and the great man can spend the whole pre-season in the midfield.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Wallsy just drafted the 2026 Rising Star.

Rising star will likely go to a WC Tigers Bombers or Suns kid. Or this guy..

He moves more like Darcy Jones to me. Bit off Murphy Reid like evasiveness in traffic too. Really like the look of this kid and it seems Walls was way higher on him than other recruiters judging by what he said in his interview. Our high half forwards play pretty similar roles to midfielders at underage level so I think he'll start high half forward. He's elite at pressure which is an attribute our forward line obviously need more of in the short term. Pretty exciting he was coming off a knee injury in 2024 as he has so much room for improvement with a full preseason behind him.

Id much rather be on the receiving end of a Jesse Motlop tackle. Looking at Adams highlights

Must be nice to get welfare from the AFL every draft. Good for you.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Odd that someone would come here from the reigning premiers board to flaunt their charity pick up on the Adam Sweid thread?

That's exactly what everyone was saying last year, all those early Richmond picks, that early Brisbane father son- all of them were way ahead of the best player voted by end of 2025.

Weird

 

[Freo Big Fella]

I am wholeheartedly on board with front loading the forward line with intelligent ball users who love a goal.

 

[masai tu]

Judging by the group at his place, we might have a few thousand new members next year!!

Well at least we know one thing, his family + mates will push Freo up the list of drawing crowds at Melbourne games. Open the upper tier, will be the cry.

“I want to bring excitement,” Sweid said.

“I want to kick goals at Optus Stadium and get the fans up and about and be a little rat to the opposition, getting under their skin making sure we get the home advantage.”

 

[Alfonz]

Motlop is a lazy comparison. Motlop is an out and out forward and was drafted as one. This kid is primarily a midfielder who can play HFF. He's basically another Murphy Reid.

Motlop is not an out and out forward. He played his best football as a junior as a midfielder, not a forward. And the same thing has happened at Carlton. It's why he gets rubbished as a small forward, because he's simply not that good at being one.

But I don't really seem them as being similar though. I'd be confident Sweid is better as both a mid and as a forward.
