I would be very keen to see him as an inside mid.
Maybe not a guy who hits it first up like Cunners, but the guy right next to him that gives and goes.
It's actually easier to tag blokes on the outside like Boomer IMO.
He needs to get better, but it's a fine line, and as you say he will improve with age naturally.
If you trim him down too much, he wont cope with the hits he is going to cop being around the ball. I reckon opposition sides have targeted Swallow at times because it takes the run out of his legs.
I much prefer Cunners training for power than for endurance.
Really he only needs enough of a tank to get from stoppage to stoppage. He should be the guy who is always at the coal face, and let Swallow and Ziebell who has trimmed down get the ball outside a little more than they have in...
Dumont has an excellent build for a footballer. Looks to have a really strong core and a low center of gravity. Fair chance he will play next year IMO, and could really develop into something special down the track.
Don't know much about the kid, but you cant have to many blokes who can win their own ball IMO. Some say we need more outside types, but those kinds of players never shine unless the ball winners are on top. Cunners, Ziebell and Swallow are at times carrying too much load IMO. One more inside...
I only watched a couple of Werribee games, but he certainly comes across as one of the best athletes outside of the AFL. The fact he is still only 20, which like a couple of other posters surprised me surely means he has a lot of development left in him.
Looking at the list I don't think we...
He doesn't scream prodigious talent to me either. What I like though is his hardness and footy smarts.
I can see him making it ahead of someone like Harper who has all the natural talent in the world, but fails to apply it properly on a football field.
He is going to be a gun player.
He wont be a full bore at the bottom of a pack inside type, but his ability to release others by hand around congestion makes him very dangerous about the stoppages. He would be second only to Cunners with handball IMO. Add in his enormous engine which allows...
Injuries are never a positive, but in some ways the delay with Curran has allowed us to get games into other players like Black, Tarrant and Daw without the pressure of yet another player who needs AFL experience. We have already lost Delaney due to competition for spots. It would be just like...
