1 - Lloyd, 2 - Parker, 3 - Papley, 4 - Rampe, 5 - Cunningham, 6 - Mills, 7 - Rowbottom, 8 - Kennedy, 9 - Dawson, 10 - Florent.

I think I remembered those positions correctly? I just caught the end of a much quicker count.

Well done to all: especially Jake Lloyd. From rookie list to two times Skilton Medallist.

Jake Llyod " excited to where the club is headed" They are also my sentiments. Looking forward to 2021.

Tremendous year from Lloyd. Hard to believe a season like that from a leader like Parker can't earn him another Skilton Medal. Not as surprised by Cunningham as others are. I saw him during match sim exercises in the pre-season showing exemplary leadership to those around him, particularly the young ones.

Great accomplishment for a second-year player in Rowbottom to finish as high as 7th. He will have a bright future in the game.

Very well worded. Clever of you not to post: I can't see Hayward OR Florent in the Top 10.

Excellent reward for consistency, preparation and professionalism from Lloyd, who gets the most out of himself. Cunningham, a deserved fifth, is another.

I thought Parker was our most important and strongest player this year, and deserving players player, a voting format which rewards consistent elite games.

Enjoyed the Kirk and Longmire speeches for both - both players are great role models for the other players.

It was interesting to note that Heeney was second in the voting after six rounds - an important reminder that between him, Franklin and Rampe, we were without three of our best five players for most of the year.

Of those who have played 16 games or more, Heyward has been ranked last and Florent second last. They need to work harder and improve much more

I thought Robbie Fox had as good a season as Ollie.

I'm very pleased for Jake. I commented a few months ago that during the Covid break I was going through Youtube videos of Swans' games from several years ago and was impressed how even back in 2015 just good Jake Lloyd was going. As the winner of my first Future Star Award, he has a special place in Swans' history. Now he can add 2 Bob Skilton medals to the trophy cabinet. I don't know if Jake will ever make the AA squad, but he deserves to be given more consideration than he's received so far.

Winners of Ludwig's Future Star Award:

2013 Jake Lloyd
2014 George Hewett
2015 Abe Davis
2016 Colin O'Riordan
2017 Ben Ronke
2018 Joel Amartey
2019 Justin McInerney

Choosing this year's Future Star is a difficult one, given the lack of a NEAFL competition. Stephens and Gould will probably be our best players from the new player group, but since they were both drafted higher than pick 30, they're not eligible. So it's mostly a choice between Chad Warner and Barry O'Connor. Since this year's choice is based on a paucity of information, I might as well just go with the longshot and give the 2020 Future Star Award to Barry O'Connor. Hopefully he doesn't get homesick and gets stuck in Ireland.
