has become a crucial element of coach John Longmire’s team since the Sydney Swans secured him with their first selection at the 2016 AFL Draft. The Victorian has shown glimpses of exhilarating footy on a wing, most memorably when he jagged a runaway goal in Round 4, 2018 to seal a gripping victory for the Swans over the Bulldogs. But Florent, who’s also spent time on the inside of the contest, is determined to continue to grow his game as a hybrid midfielder in 2020.

Jed lamb

The last thing we needed was another skinny half-forward of middling height that gets creamed in the big league.

Not on the list so you assume average on both tests.

A half-forward that doesn't kick, hmm.

I'm already chalking this one up as a bust. Definitely reeks of Jed Lamb x2

You will eat your words, or chicken, sorry Chumpy.

God Help Me That Was Horrible/Horseshit

Ill be happy if he doesn't perform like Hiscox on debut, but I have low hopes. It wasn't like we needed another HFF that can't kick, we already have plenty and delisted more than our fair share since 2010.

reminds of J LLoyd, and hes no pick 11

Maybe not. But hes a very very handy player for us. Every team needs role players and superstars. We have enough superstars.

I think KB doesn't rate pure footballers and skills, he rates character more important and that hurts in the early picks.

Florent will just be another midfielder you cant hit a target, might create a bit more run and carry and create some options but surely we needed a mid that could kick.

Won't be a bust but will just be another player that can't deliver the last pass into the forward line in the pressure games or under no pressure like most of our mids.

I agree.

 

[mtooler]

That doesn't fill me with confidence.

Me either. Maybe we can straight swap trade for Simpkin after two years?

 

[SSwans2011]

Christ this board is negative...

you'd think we just lost a Grand Final.

 

[CD__]

This kid is far, far harder at the footy than Jed Lamb ever has been.

 

[Danair]

Reminds me a bit of Allen Christensen when he was at Geelong.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I didn't know we had so many AFL scouts in our midst. I should definitely listen to them over the recruiting department that has kept us in the finals for 10+ years and saw us in last year's GF with one of the most inexperienced/young lists.

In fairness to our internet scouting department, the club has had a pretty poor record with 1st rounders

Our 2014 and 2015 first rounders go ok ... (tongue in cheek)

and my record is not too great either as I really wanted Lewis Johnston and Sam Durdin

Will wear #13.

Almost my same immediate thoughts. But prove me wrong Olly, prove me wrong!!

bit of a let down from the Hype of Mills last year

what do people see as realistic expectations year 1?

3rd in the best and fairest?
50 goals?

Yep, would be happy for a few games with the vow of a big season in 2018

I'm not sure links between Mills to Florent is fair... different back story and different types.

If he could have 2 productive games I'd see it as a huge positive sign. He needs physical developing and it will take time to settle. There will also be massive competition this year, more than we've probably ever had....

There could be some big casualties this year - yes, I'm looking at you Mr McVeigh... and what is that smirk for Mr K Jack, you're next.

A top 5 Brownlow finish

Realistically, I expect progression in the 2's and becoming a dominant midfielder in the NEAFL. He will play a couple of games in the Seniors & like LukeParkerno1 said, looking for a big 2018.

Anything more, would be amazing

Brownlow...lol craig bird has that sewn up

I agree with what your saying, keen to see him pre season

Harsh on Kizza. Was good this yr. The kinda player that can push on a bit into his 30s I reckon. So long as he doesn't lose too much stamina & speed/acceleration.
