We've seen alot more of the kids this year than I can remember for awhile. I reckon most of it has looked alright. Here's my take on it.
Schneider-What a season he's had. A revelation. great to see Roos placing him around the ground rather than just as a crumbing forward. Can't wait to see how much further he's developed by next year and I'm looking forward to seeing how he copes with the finals. I predict that a large number of fans will start getting around with 36 on the back of their Swans guernsey's.
LRT-Another revelation. Still a little under-cooked in my view, but he's provided us with some special moments. Generally looking more confident as the season heads towards finals. Is he a potential #1 ruckman?
Powell-I don't reckon that we got to see enough of him this season. Has his body been up to more footy this year, or was his amount of game-time right for where he's at? Personally, I like the look of him a whole lot. With a bit more beef on him... My favourite piece of play this year (involving youngsters) occurred in the Brisbane game at the SCG earlier this year, when MP picked up the ball in the HF area and got it over to a running Schneider who was headed for the big sticks. From memory it got turned over somewhere between AS and the goals, but I was elated by the tremendous effort of two kids backing themselves without any senior players nearby.
Meiklejohn-I think he's got something. Saturday night wasn't the best opportunity for him (I didn't think so). He doesn't seem to have stood out as much to me this year. He looks like he's got some reasonable size to him. Could be a strongman for the club (not unlike Dipper) especially in the ruck division. Better luck to him for next year.
Sundqvist-He's an enigma to me. Do others have him sized up fpr a particular job on the ground? I guess I see him as potential midfielder. Not too many opportunities for him either as yet this season.
Only my view on some of our seedlings. No doubt I've missed names-these are the ones that are most obvious (to me at least).
Thoughts?
