Matthew Ling

Matt Ling is lightning-quick and has a pinpoint left-foot kick. The problem is a torrid injury run prevented him from hitting his best over his first two seasons at the Sydney Swans. Serious toe and Achilles injuries limited the club’s top 2017 AFL Draft selection to just 16 NEAFL games across the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Season 2020 is his time to shine.

wasn't Sandilands out for over a year with this?

Yes. My secret hope is Ling suffered turf toe during a massive growth spurt. He is now 216cm, but has kept his agility and speed.

You have to feel for him, the battle to get on a list is a damn tough one and to be denied so far with injury can only be so frustrating. I hope he gets a run at it at injury free, he deserves that at least.
