    Nick and Dan - 50 games

    One a rookie listed player and one who burst on to the scene at 18 but both Nick Smith and Dan Hannebery will play their 50th games against Brisbane next week.

    Awesome effort by both of them!

    A nice piece on Smith to start the commendations

    Two of the best! And with the way some of the younger boys are getting consistent starts, there will be more milestones on the horizon.

    Maybe this is just me, but that photo looks more like Brett Meredith than Nick Smith.

    Swans Website fail. Clearly the pic is of Meredith not Agent Smith.

    They illustrate the different ways you can make it in the AFL. One is a highly regarded junior selected in the second round of the National Draft and played senior footy in his first year and has wide recognition due to his Rising Star win while the other had to scrap his way through the rookie draft and plenty of reserves games and will elicit a "Who?" from many opposition supporters yet both are important members of the team now and dare I say it ( for I dislike the term ) future leaders of the club

    I don't particularly follow underage footy, but right from when he arrived at the Swans, Smith looked a likely type. He was skinny but his football brain was immediately evident. I don't think it is just the benefit of hindsight that raises the question of why he lasted through to the rookie draft.

    Someone at the club must be reading RWO, they've fixed the photo so it now actually IS Nick.
