Unrestricted Free Agent Sam Switkowski

[The Nostradamus]

I've noticed dockers have done well to have contracted pretty much their entire best 22 already except this small forward who is a free agent

30 later in the year does he manage to get a better deal to come home for 3 years?

He's a jet, they would have gone deep last September if he'd been fit

I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a jet but he can have games where his output is very influential

- which kinda does roll into your point of Freo advancing further in September last yr if he was available,as his importance/impact on our team is massive

it’ll actually be an interesting watch on how Freo approach his nxt contract ,very highly regarded internally at freo(for the aforementioned above plus leadership) but he’s certainly had a Chequered career injury wise .

Missed some big chunks of footy over the journey .

As well as whilst being highly influential in that HHF /connector roll ,he’s goal scoring output for a player of his calibre and position is actually pretty abysmal .

At least wallsy and co have finally gone some meaningful way of addressing our weakness in the role he plays (I’d say our loss to GC in that final when he didn’t play as you alluded to ,was what forced our recruiters to get serious)by basically only drafting small/medium forward pocket /half forwards last year.

Would be annoying to lose him (unless someone really jumps up this yr in a similar role) but he’s exactly the type of player we “can’t” afford to overpay.

TL;DR…

- He’s most definitely gettable but like with most of these deals it will still take a decent offer from another club to pry him out me thinks
