McVeigh comes of age

EXCITING young Swans midfield prospect Jarrad McVeigh will make his AFL senior debut against the defending triple premiers Brisbane on Saturday.
A tough pre-season campaign paid off for the well-credentialled fifth pick overall from the 2002 national draft with McVeigh putting on 6kg of muscle to ready himself for AFL footy.
And with the retirement of champion midfielder Daryn Cresswell at the end of last season Swans star Barry Hall believes the timing is perfect.
"It's come at the right time," said Hall. "Jarrad is a good young kid, he's earned his spot."
The Swans will also today officially name Luke Ablett and Heath James after impressive pre-season performances.
But Adam Schneider failed to recover from a hamstring strain.
