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

Loving the chest hair just quietly

Hard agree.

On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[S120]

Another quality balanced game. Very clean work as an inside midfielder with 9 clearances and kept Cripps completely without any influence all night.

He started the year a little quiet in terms of his offensive output - while being stellar defensively - but now he's hit a high level of balanced output by taking up more minutes as an inside midfielder. Having a quality year.

 

[The King!]

Seems to be trusted at a lot of centre bounces

Just a good honest quiet team man , excellent player

 

[TheMase]

Kid can genuinely kick off both feet. Is really maturing as a player now, love the kid.

 

[caesar88]

I’m not at all surprised

IMO he was the best of him Papley and Mills in their debut game and he’s just kept going from there. Been awesome to watch and will be important come finals time.

 

[BloodySwan]

Doesn't get the attention he deserves outside of the Swans. Has been one of our best this year considering he plays a tagging role more often than not

 

[SwansProudly]

George we know you are a valuable Swan

Bathing a lot of players

Bump.

Near two months since this thread was active.

Still doing his job week in, week out but (like the team) he has gone off the boil. Have not looked at his numbers but expect they are down a bit as is the balance between kicks and handballs.

He also does not appear to be moving with the freedom he did early in the season. Maybe he is carrying a few niggles.

As the designated stopper he would cop a few more knocks from the Oppo than most.

In some respects George is symptomatic of the Mule era. He is a highly skilled player who has sacrificed expression of these skills for 'the good of the team' aka the Game Plan. The result is we are missing his offensive skills.

Some teams get criticised for not running both ways (defence as well as offence).

Our team is in reverse. We are drilled to run to defend but do not run to take the initiative.

I'd like to see the Mule take the shackles off George and instruct him to see ball - get ball.

 

[swansfan51]

Felt Georgie smashed it last night in his best game for the year, well done young man

 

[TheMase]

Is tracking really well imo.

I would like to see him unleashed a bit now, as I think we saw in the second half. Kennedy needs help inside and this fella is the guy to do it.

10 clearances last night.

Pleased with his progress.

Been shadowing the best so has picked up a few tricks. wonder who else can do that lockdown role though if we do unleash him to go get the ball. Kizza obviously used to do it when he first started but dont think he has the athleticism now or running power. Maybe Cunningham who has had some sucess on outside players but not sure he could do the same for inside players.

Perhaps Dawson can do some roles as part of his apprenticeship.

 

[S120]

He made a few bad decisions and skill errors throughout the night but overall a valuable game playing on some of the very best midfielders in the comp.

 

[barry fu]

Lets release Hewitt The Hodor and remove his handbrake. The only truly proficient dual sided player at Club Bloods.
Get Hewitt rolling at ruck rover you rabble for football sake.

Agreed, let Mills do his apprenticeship now.

Agreed, let Mills do his apprenticeship now.

Jose Horsey would keep Mills indentured until he is 30.

Nice article about the 12 weeks premature birth of young Henry with first 9 weeks in the neo-natal intensive care unit of Sydney's Royal Hospital for Women.

Swans star's 1.34kg bundle of joy puts life in perspective

George Hewett's job requires him to be able to make sense in chaos, but there's nothing in the playbook that could have prepared him for the birth of his son.

Looked good when he got near it on Sunday but didn't seem to find the ball much - what was his actual role? We need more ball winning midfielders and can't understand why he isn't being used as one.

Lloyd did some nice things in the 2nd half for sure

I think Lloyd is great in the middle even pushing for the odd goal, which he seems to be doing more this year
