Swans site says he is 19 so probably should read 7.04.2004

According to this he has an August birthday. 31 August 2004.

Cleary looks very mature for an 18 year old

Anyone know how long we signed Hamling or Jordon for?

This website I usually use (https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/to-sydney-swans) for player information says only one year for both. I suspect this is wrong and the site just says one year on the basis that the length of their contract isn't publically known yet.

My memory tells me two years for Hamling and at least three for Jordan. Can't find anything (in two minute search) to confirm these. But they are certainly not less than two and three years respectively.

Footywire has quite a few obvious errors. For example, they have listed the retired GWS "Sam Reid" in our current players List: " Samuel Reid#50 Sydney SwansAge: 34yr Games: 108 Born: November 7, 1989 Origin: Uws GiantsHeight: 188cm Weight: 85kg Position: DefenderFirst Drafted: Round 3, Pick #35 2007 National Draft by Western BulldogsLast Drafted: Round 1, Pick #11 2023 Rookie Draft by Sydney Swans" Not sure who should be blamed. Sometimes wonder why the Club cannot be more transparent and provide accurate information to us fans and the public.

That is an unfortunate error! It is quite easy for players with the same name to get scrambled in the databases behind these websites.

Each page has a small Feedback button hidden away at the bottom-right so I submitted that as an error - let's see if the message goes to a human.

Think you're correct.

Hamling himself has said the two-year offer from the Swans, vs the one year he originally got from the Dockers, was what got him over the line.

I'm certain I read three for Jordan, but buggered if i can remember where.

Liz,
I think you are right on this. My recollection is Freo only offered Hamling a one year deal on a basic contract. The Swans definitely offered him a two year deal, which Freo then matched , but still on the same basic contract believing because he and his family were already settled in Perth, he would accept even if it was below market value.
For Freo to do this would indicate they must have some belief he has some ability despite his poor run with injuries
