is regularly praised in the media by his teammates and coach John Longmire for his steadfast reliability. Regardless of whether the 2013 draftee is tasked with winning the footy or blanketing a ball magnet, he has the full trust of the Sydney Swans camp. Dustin Martin, Patrick Cripps

are just some of the gun midfielders Hewett has shut down in his unheralded career as a Swan. The South Australian carved out a career-best season in 2019 en route to finishing second in the Bob Skilton Medal voting, joining star duo Dane Rampe

Edited: Oops wrong thread

Just realised how much of a condradiction my above post was, but im sure you guys know what i meant Yeah excellent ill jump on board next year for sure and i do win the ticket ill just give it to someone else on here, unless it happens to fall on the week ill hopefully be in sydney for a footy trip over to the big smoke.

One thing i couldnt work out about the whole sponsorship thing and the club saying you get to sponsor a player is, is it because we are a swans board on a big forum we get to sponsor a player just for a bit of pr between the club and fans or does each redback member get to 'sponsor' a player? by each i mean obviously its capped to however many players are on our list so how does that work, just first in best dressed or ?

BB I think it has multiple purposes, a bit of corporate PR, a bit of fan interaction, and a bit of assistance to the young players on low contracts... Particular memberships (the very expensive ones) include a sponsorship option. I have a Platinum 11 which was $555 this season, and a Premiership Club which was an add on for about $125 iirc. The membership we buy has all these benefits but includes a sponsorship deal. I couldn't see it on the Swans site, but swansfan51 and/or RW will know what it is as they run it for us!

swansfan51 and/or RW, a bit out of my depth here! Help please...

A lot of players have multiple sponsors- Mills had three sponsors including the Swans Bigfooty board in 2016. From what I could make out, the club allocates sponsors to players and tries to spread them fairly evenly, the Bigfooty board being able to request a player seems to be a special case.

Not really. The board puts requests through for players and they get what the club can give them. There's preferences you give the club when getting the membership and ultimately you could have to decide between 2 or 3 available players. Everyone requests the popular ones, like Kennedy, Franklin, Rampe, Tippett etc.

Ahh i see, i think haha, So what does the player get out of being sponsored ?

 

[Kirkswan]

No idea... I previously thought that the only the younger players on low contracts were sponsored but other posters seem to think the whole team is sponsored. I thought it helped with general living expenses, that kind of crap for the guys on low $ contracts... Perhaps ask the mods, as I clearly have no real idea

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Georgie again earned the Board's sponsorship yesterday. The kid is a tractor on the inside.

 

[McEvoy]

Well done George.

From the bits of play I saw while at work it looked like he had a decent crack.

He always has a crack MaxMinch

I know he does. I rate him. I was comparing his crack to the rest of what I saw.... so to speak

No arguments here!

Edit: You probably don't want to see Swans Blog rating

Hewett has already become one of my favourite handful of Swans. He's no star and he hasn't got an outrageously high ceiling, but he's a contributor every week and does so without any fuss or grandiosity, and appears to have a really good head on his shoulders. Doesn't get overwhelmed, just plays what he sees.

Really good season, solid chance for a top 10 finish in the Skilton imo.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Does he s**t his pants on the big stage? No?

Good. He stays.

Love him as a player.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Oh well... got to bed at 5.00 am... even the skinful of Jamesons did not help sleep.

Made the error of reading every post in the Autopsy thread before coming here. I should have started here. George like Snake Lloyd is unassuming and always puts in.

Last night was not his best but he was one of our few effective players.

He will be one of the first players selected in our 2018 teams.

 

[The King!]

Wants the ball, keeps trying, knows his limitations, happy to see him as the sponsored player

 

[scaryness]

Top 5 in the B&F

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Top 5 in the B&F

Bloody little legend is Georgie. Very very happy with him.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Said before the season that he was the one to look out for. Glad he proved me right. Still has improvement left in him though. He's a little beauty.

 

[scaryness]

2 from 2 for breakout seasons from our sponsored players.

Hayward next year pls.

They ever send us a pic of his locker with bigfooty swans on it


Great year for hewett like the way he goes about it

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Terrific reward for the unassuming toughie.

 

[TheMase]

Great season for the kid. So unassuming and 5th in the b & f is a phenomenal effort.

As he gets more experience his excellent kicking skills off both feet will become more evident.

Been a big fan of this kid just from the highlights i saw from prior to him being drafted. Was so happy we picked him up.

Will slowly take over from Kennedy as he adds to his frame.

 

[Teddy chester]

2018 regular in the middle & 100 clearance's coming up for Hewitt

hewett could become the next craig bird.

 

[swansfan51]

Did you enjoy following George Hewett's progress this year? Did you know he was the official Bigfooty Swans Board sponsored player this year, no doubt contributing to his success!

We are again organising a sponsorship for 2018, will it be George or someone new? Get involved here:
