Another strong Swans Academy candidate, Sheather is a true utility in the sense that he can play both small and tall up either end, while also developing as a midfielder. He already cuts a strong figure and has handy athletic traits.

Have we been hiding him? Off those highlights he should've been drafted!
Cant wait to see him and Warner sharing a midfield. Oppo will be scared to touch the footy!
Nool, an particular reason why he wasn't on the radar in the main draft? I'm assuming there was work to still be done in parts of his game?Really happy for another academy kid to get a crack at the big time.
I wrote in the ressies thread back in May ‘19 “Just get out of his way or you’ll get hurt”, hopefully a little polish in the finesse department and he could be real bargain for the club.
Congrats Marc and best of luck!
Your first point is spot on. In his U17 season he showed a lot of passion, tackling and effort but was picking up very small possession numbers for the Academy. This last season he seems to have improved but still isn’t a massive possession player.If I had to guess (and I am, anybody who has kept an eye on him please jump in), lots of strength and talent but doesn't get heavily involved in games. Highlights were one or two per game, max. Probably doesn't have the tank yet.
He's been described as a "developing midfielder" so I'm thinking that's code for "used to be a KPP but didn't grow enough so now he plays midfield but doesn't quite have the tank yet".
What were his parents smoking when they decided to name him Marc?
I mean I feel for his sister Cylie and his brother Lukas.
Sorry Ticky I have no idea.Nool, an particular reason why he wasn't on the radar in the main draft? I'm assuming there was work to still be done in parts of his game?
12 matches with 7 best on grounds in the Sydney Premier competition as a 17 year old, would suggest to me he is getting enough possessions. Definitely has some aspects of his game to improve on like all kids in the draft but his tenacity will get him there.If I had to guess (and I am, anybody who has kept an eye on him please jump in), lots of strength and talent but doesn't get heavily involved in games. Highlights were one or two per game, max. Probably doesn't have the tank yet.

Nothing like him... he had his shirt on the whole time!!!Looks, sounds, talks, and even plays like Heeney:
NEW SWAN: Marc Sheather
SwansTV caught up with Sydney Swans recruit Marc Sheather after he completed his first training session as an AFL listed player.www.sydneyswans.com.au
Sorry Ticky I have no idea.
DavyRed sums it up better than I ever could with my non-Aussie Rules background.
The revolving door nature and reluctance of listed players to use the kids helping out in the neafl hardly gives a detailed insight to their talent.
I just remember Sheather doing a very good impression of an Exocet Missile out at Blacktown one day.
It’s quite pleasing the hierarchy have taken this path tho... gives hope that some more of the academy grads might get a look in as mature aged rookies with the Eastern AFL comp.... maybe a homegrown ruck being nurtured and developed there too?
