On Tsatas - Maybe Adam Treloar is a closer playing style comparison?

Adam Treloar is pretty damn close, IMO. Jack Macrae and Tsatas are nothing alike. Macrae's leg was elite at junior level, and only had a bit of first year blues when adjusting as just a skinny kid, but got back to his elite kicking pretty quickly the next year. He's also a strong tackler, and places emphasis on defensive pressure when needed.

Treloar, however, has never had good disposal, yet is good on the inside and outside. Has defensive pressure now, but wasn't always a big part of his game. Tsatas I think can learn to be someone like him, and utilize his strengths - but I don't think he'll ever have the elite kicking/disposal of someone like Macrae.

Treloar is the player I see a lot of in Tsatas. Glad to see others see the similarities also

Way too early to really tell but several Swans players have mentioned they have been really impressed by Jacob Konstanty and Caleb Mitchell.

Drury will play plenty of AFL football in his career.

More than a few similarities to Caleb Daniel.

Sounds like Phillipou has eaten up the training and been keen for more, so despite only having turned 18yo a tick over a month ago, he’d probably be in the mix for R1. Wilkie mentioned the other day that he’s difficult to play on because he’s such a great runner.

Van Es has also impressed. Keeler did a PCL and has missed the last two months, while Hotton is out for months with a back injury.

They seem to be getting along well too

On Jacob (and Papley)
"It does put a smile on my face to see the two of them, Jacob and Tom, buzzing around," he said. "It's actually quite interesting. Jacob rang Tom the year before, just asking him for some tips. He obviously came from a similar area and they're similar players.

"As soon as we drafted Jacob, Tom text me and was really excited. He's been fantastic. Everything he is, he's that. But he's also got a bit of class. He's not just a hard chaser. That stood out to our playing group in the first session, he's actually got some class.

"The two of them buzz around together. I grabbed both of them together last week and put my arm around them and said, 'geez it's good to see you two working together'. It's really good."
