Who is Quade?
Has been on the "supplementary list" this year, which I think has no official status from an AFL perspective but means he was registered to play with the Swans reserves in the ACTAFL (though he turned out once for his old team, Queanbeyan).
I gather that he narrowly missed out on a rookie spot last year, which is probably why they chose to give him a chance with the reserves. He's a big lump of a lad but I've not seen many signs that he could be AFL potential and he's probably only an outside chance to get a rookie spot in 2006, especially since I expect (or at least hope) that Vogels, Grundy, Shaw and Garruba from this year's rookie crop will be retained in some form on the 2006 list.
