Player Watch #41 Patrick Snell

[SydneyBlood]

In my limited viewing of Snell in the VFL, have really liked his mobility and natural feel for the game.

Would appear to show that the decision makers at the Swans have been very impressed to give him such a long extension, for someone who hasn't played a senior game.

EDIT: Or to even consider and then offer a three year extension to him, for such an inexperienced first year player, more to the point.

I believe it was only a 2 year extension for Snell as his original contract was for 2024 & 2025, the extension is for 26 & 27.

Oh yeah, was mixing his contract up with Edwards who is on a standard one year rookie contract

Edwards' extension takes him to the limit of his rookie years. From there he has to be senior listed or dropped. Logical as we had no senior list spots.

I like the news that we've re-signed Snedwards

Also it is stunning how perfectly that comment fit into the dimensions of my phone screen. So neat and tidy

Great re-sign. This kid has something for sure.

I think it was McVeigh who put his name forward after Snell was playing for the Allies who he was coaching.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

I like Schnell players

 

[Swansujelly]

Would imagine he plays, go well Snell.

Doubt that he plays but great that he gets the experience around the seniors and the vote of confidence. Edwards has already had this including game time in the preseason. Two up and comers.

 

[grimlock]

Yeah I don't think he will play this week but getting named as an emergency for the first time is a great sign of his promise. Long term I think he's the perfect replacement for Rampe as that 3rd tall defender who can play on talls and smalls.

 

[Swansujelly]

Cunningham out and Heeney iffy means there could be 2 spots, I rekon he plays. Will be watching for the video lol

 

[SM]

Doubt he plays, not sure he's really like for like for either Cunningham or Heeney.

 

[dosser]

Would imagine he plays, go well Snell.

It's a good, good feeling.

 

[martin_19_88]

Wasn't meant to be, this week. Hope he gets his chance soon.

 

[Swansujelly]

Dagnabbit.

Out for up to six weeks so his season is basically done one would think. Have enjoyed watching him in the VFL. Seems a natural with his movement and decision making. Not just an athlete but some football nous it would seem.

Obviously the club thought highly enough of him after half a season in the reserves to give him two more. Look forward to watching him develop further next season.

Yep season likely over for Snell and with it our premiership hopes.
