Toast Welcome to Fremantle Adam Sweid - Pick 25 of the 2025 AFL Draft

[Swan Districts Kid]

Chunky, balanced, very evasive & looks like he moves the ball forward with a lot of urgency. I like it.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

He has about 100 identical twins

Centuplets?

 

[Andy Brennan]

To be fair we've got absolutely no idea, it depends on the kid. Murphy Reid had extremely Melbournian vibes

When they interviewed reid last year his dad instantly went "we used to support Richmond but we're freo supporters now" - never had to worry about reid with that kind of support

[fnerd]

No we’re just lucky to always get a player we rated way higher than our pick

 

[s_wd6]

Love the kid already. He's practically jumping off the walls with excitement lol.

 

[Lach72]

He seems like a really good kid.

Room him with Serong at first and away we go

 

[BarbieITFC]

Impossible to watch that and not love the pick. You can teach and develop skills, much harder to improve attitude and this kid is a ripper.

 

[gaskin]

Speaks really well. Interesting he sees himself as similar to Bruce and Shai. If we can get a Bolton like player who can tackle and pressure he will be an absolute steal.

 

[Purple Jesus]

He's got a great ****ing attitude.

 

[Lach72]

He's got a great ****ing attitude.

Look how engaged he is with the interviewer.

Look how engaged he is with the interviewer.

Kudos to his parents and his mentors.

 

[The Round House Drunk]

Really likeable young kid. You can sense his appreciation and excitement is genuine.

Welcome to Freo, Sweidy. You’ll love it in the West!

 

[Eski3]

Yep he's an absolute ripper. Stoked with this pick

 

[heypenny]

Wow - loved the interview, he seems like a ripping kid. I've got no idea how he'll play, but he fits a need and sounds like he's got a good attitude. I'm happy with the pick.

 

[Vintage]

There was a great piece on him and Hussein El Achkar on ABC news last night, really solid characters and great highlights as others have mentioned. Very very happy with this pick.

 

[freo_leo29]

Jeez hes an absolute ripper

 

[Ge3ks]

What an awesome young man.
So his nickname is Sweidy. He pronounced it 'Swade-E'.

 

[Vintage]

Mate - love him!!

 

[Moo]

Anyone criticising this pick needs to at a minimum watch this interview.

 

[jimboslice]

Sweid Caroline

 

[Randomizor]

Blue Sweid shoes

 

[Minz]

Young bloke looks genuinely delighted. And who wouldn’t be…
thought you were going to go to sad sack Essendon and instead you’re joining a young finals side on the rise? Hell yeah!

 

[FreoRicci]

Man he’s humble, pumped and a team player.

Yes ****ing please

 

[chaosball32]

Has definitely got a bit of Murphy Reid about him with his craft and his vision. A bit less polish but a bit more grunt. Reads the game well. He’s a footballer first, athlete second. I love my footballers.

Judging by the interview he seems like a great character and has an awesome attitude. Was worried he might be a little apprehensive after being poached from Essendon’s academy but he seems genuinely stoked to be coming to Freo.

Mostly I’m pleasantly surprised Wallsy targeted an actual list need with our first and not another tall.
