Player Watch Sam Swadling

[Tadpole]

I can see him swadling his way through traffic

He'll be great at wrapping up the opposition in a tackle.

Cross-code junior Swadling hoping to achieve ultimate goal

In another lifetime, Sam Swadling could have chased a career in the round ball game; instead, he is one of many teenagers around the country eagerly and nervously awaiting this week’s AFL Draft.

Don't think we have to worry about him getting home sick

The more I read and hear about him, the more I like him. I think we're onto a winner here.

I agree. He's a ball magnet with a decent turn of foot.

So back to being short on moon boots. Swell.

 

[Copeland]

Needs a good nickname. I wonder what his mates call him?

 

[cityslick1]

Anyone who pick up 40 possessions in a game is worth a shot at this pick imo

At west perth they call him "pig"

Here's a nice write up about Sam from May this year.

WAFL Ones to Watch: Sam Swadling (West Perth) - Perth is OK!

Sam Swadling’s beginning to 2025 would rank up there among the best ever with the quality he is producing for West Perth colts.

At west perth they call him "pig"

To me Greenwood is pig.

Sam (short for Samuel)

Mule.

At west perth they call him "pig"

There's only one pig.

 

[SchuPie]

Thought he started a bit nervously
Missed mark, couple shaking kicks
But he’s settled, fully involved and is now delivering the ball well

 

[WanderingDude]

There's only one pig.

Sawdling, Greenwood or Lockett. Wasn’t Dunstall called pig?

I was talking about Greenwood, I know Lockett was, not sure about Dunstall though.

For pig it can only be Greenwood. The Dunstall and Lockett were latter thoughts. I can vaguely remember Dermie calling Dunstall piggie on radio.

 

[granniewolf]

Wait and see what they call him in the locker room?
Am sure they'll come up with a good nick for him.

Dunstall was Piggie - Plugger wasn't. That was you're a pig through the gag with the pig relesed on the ground - rather than it being a nickname.

You have more faith than me!

Not as many fun nicknames coming out of the locker rooms these days.

 

[Bianconeri]

Hopefully not the same Off-Field Issues

Hopefully he doesn’t ignore the runners to do blind backwards snaps.

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

'Piggy' to be precise.

 

[Kirby]

There's only one pig.

Not according to my wife.
