It's good to be left-field, but this is strange when we've dumped so many players of similar age, whether through delists or cheap trades, in the off-season. Interesting that the Swans thought other clubs rated a 22yo so highly that he wouldn't have been there at 44. Still, welcome aboard and hope you're a star.
Sounds a bit like Kel.....worked hard to get there no matter what..country kid/young man...little homesick facor as is mature enough to know that this is his own life he is in charge of...like Pyke

he's got HBF written all over him !

Rebounding half back type, free up Shaw a bit, or maybe a complement to Jetta and Rohan on the wings?
Just watched the highlights..seems a bit short in the femur region...a tall Hobbitt?????

Wouldnt surprise to see him drop here as a ready made replacement for Young. Has come from the bush to dominate at VFL level this year and then showed his ability when he played state as well. Clubs won?t have any issues convincing themselves of his upside. Is lightning quick, tested as elite in the vertical jump and is a very good ball user so he presents as one of those players you can transition the ball through. My only worry is whereas Smith?s form got better as year went on Towers appeared to taper but that may be more a reflection of the engine not yet being ready and a couple of injuries he had. Brodie Murdoch or Rory Atkins are ones I would consider here. If they went tall here Aidan Corr would have to be one in the mix.
I can't get over anyone being 22 and a mature age anything.

Harrison Marsh at pick 44
Sounds like a Campbell Heath-type "3rd tall defender". Replacement for Mattner, maybe?
