Sniffing Vegemite
Taylor's highlight reel is short but impressive. Nice snaps on both sides of his body. At the end where he does a nice pick up at pace and snaps truly his movements reminded me of the great Micky O, the way his long arms so easily scooped up the ball and snapped instinctively before straightening up. There's something special about that boy. Not quite as tall as Micky O but he's fast elusive and pretty good at selling candy.
I hope Taylor can settle in well, I know it can be especially hard for some indigenous players away from family but the Swans have a good record. Same goes for the other new guys. The Swans are pretty good at setlling players in and generating loyalty but there's always the odd Shannon Grant or Tom Mitchell who leave for the lure of home or cash. Sometimes it can be the player's other-half doing the pushing. Let's hope this lot feel they are part of an up and coming multi-Premiership new generation. Future legends.

So far this offseason you have speculated on whether a draftee's nickname is related to the size of their penis, expressed the desire for an ex-player to stop using contraception, and now are again drawing attention to a draftee's genital area... Maybe just stop?
NOOOOOO...puhhhhlease. Joe can go anywhere else but here. We don't need another broken down forward. We finally got Reid back on the field last year then lost Sinkers and Buddy struggled. We have enough fragile forwards.

Well at least next year we won't have to pay two first rounders for a bloke that can't get on the field! We only have to pay cash in the salary cap!
C'mon. It was reasonably subtle. Innuendo rather than innuface
If Daniher doesn't get even close to a full season this year I think he might follow his brother Darcy into retirement
Not forgetting Johnson who, as he's injured, is a straight swap for Daniher.

Not fussed either way, I'm just thrilled we didn't waste our picks this year on him
2025 Premiership team ?
Behind the Draft part 1: The calm before the storm
In this first of four-part series, we take you behind the scenes at the 2019 NAB AFL National Draft
Looks like Sydney were in heavy negotiations with Fremantle during round 1 of draft day.

My main reasoning was that he was one of the lower risk players in the top 8 that would be like to leave due to go home factor. Secondly he was also a ready to go player at senior level once he understood the game plan. I think we can all agree he is also a very likeable lad. Cheers ScottyShout out to Ted (and anyone else I missed) who pre-draft said he was certain we'd take Stephens when all the experts said we'd pick Flanders.
Even Mr 80% got our selection wrong.
Given he's tracking at nearly 90%, Twomey's record with Sydney is terrible if there isn't an obvious Academy player.
