Excellent news! He has been a find for us. I love his attack and acts of pressure. Another young excitement machine. Go Swannies!!!
Yes, well done, Tom. It's certainly a case of seizing an opportunity when it is finally presented. Also a demonstration that the recruiters don't always get it right. That is, he sat through two drafts and a rookie draft, before we finally took him at number 14 in last year's rookie draft. So there was certainly a lot of players taken before him, many of whom won't make it. So it seems a bit mystifying now?
I wonder what the knock on him was? Was he considered too small? Did he have endurance problems? Or did he just have poor interview skills? Who knows?
He reminds me so much of a past player, but I still haven't nailed who that is yet.
His look, they way he moves. It's got me beat. Just very familiar!!
Good to hear!!!
Reminds me a bit of Amon Buchanan. I'm pleased he's there anyway - seems to be a naturally clever footballer.Originally Posted by ScottH
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Swans royalty. He was never going anywhere else.
Amon Buchanan
Ahh, Maybe that is it.
I'll have to look closer next week.
Id have thought Barry Mitchell would have some claim to a degree of Swans royalty ...
Yep definitely like Amon Buchanan
Papley reminds me a bit of Kirk.
You can tell he truly believes in the swans cause. Plays with conviction.
I believe Mills will be the same as he grew up loving the swans.
I like his statement 'This is not a job. I love what I do'. Maybe I am paraphrasing a little but that was pretty close.
You can see he lives this by the joy on his face when he plays.
