Meredith's disposal was excellent. Already looks to have one of the best kicks in the club and seems to have footy smarts as well. Good player."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

Definitely impressed by Meredith. Had a few Meredith supporters sitting behind me cheering him on. Suffice to say they were very excited with his game.

Was definitely a solid debut. Looked at home in that company, wasn't scared to back his ability. Some things came off, others didn't but definitely a contributor. Most impressive thing was his cool head and decision making.
Looks like the 2007 draft might have been a bit of a winner.Comment

Seems that way already and Vespi has only shown us small amount of what he can do. Once he is fit again and in the team, he'll really start to prove his worth. Meredith clearly showed that he was born to play midfield in the AFL and even though this was one game, the scary thing is he'll only get better.
White had no excuses not to smash whoever the Hawks put in the ruck against him and he did more than smash them he got them to second guess where he was going to rest, when he was going to ruck and in turn that help Jolly out. The great thing for him tonight was when he went forward and provided an option up forward that we didn't have last week and showed a sign to the future when Currie is fit and in the Senior side as the second ruckman.
Grundy is finally getting the hang of this defence thing and played his best game for the club tonight. Can only be a good sign.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Meredith looked very good. Can't believe Barlow got picked over him last week.
He has decent pace, good disposal and he has a football brain. Keep him in the side for the rest of the year.Comment

Do we have a young small defender with some pace? If so, get them in now.Comment
-
And I stand by that. Which is why I said it "might" not that it "was".
Signs are that we have 3 senior players out of that draft. How much of a "winner" the draft is viewed to be in several years time will partly depend on how Vez shapes up long term compared to, say, Grimes (who was the alternative they strongly considered) and Rioli (who many on here have hailed as a lost opportunity) and how Meredith goes compared especially to Otten (taken the next pick, apparently the one they tossed up against Meredith, and who played a pretty handy game on Friday for the Crows).Comment

Meredith seems to have good awareness and I thought his debut was excellent. Meantime, Bird just seems to get better. He's one of our future stars in my opinion - just so calm and composed.Comment
-
Bird is going to be an absolute star of the future no doubt just watch him get better and better.
Meredith showed good signs today, really good composure, decision making and disposal.
Gundy is also starting to look like he belongs in the side really begining to play with confidence i liked him up forward last week and i liked him down back this week.
White was blooody awesome!!!!
Cant wait for Vezzy to get back and that forms a good group of inxperienced players getting a few games under their belt add Jack and Moore from last year and our best 22 is getting younger while still winning games.Comment

Meredith...
Was it just me or did he have a great game lastnight..impressed meComment
-
He understands the game of footy and he had a good first up game. Had a couple of assists and layoffs that resulted in goals. Was bumped by every backmen that came near him or picked him up. Was not the agressor just got on with chasing the footy. Road the bumps and got on with footy. Well done.
Yes he had a good game.
No nerves that we evident.
No change for next week. Enjoy game 2
IMO!

So to follow your lead....AT THIS STAGE we MIGHT conclude the 2007 draft was one of missed opportunities for the swans.
Rioli is miles ahead of Vespa...
Otten has looked good in both I've seen him play and will probably end up a kp player.
Meredith has looked pretty good in one game.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Brett Meredith - Report card
In all the excitement over such a significant win, we've all overlooked the debut of Brett Meredith.
Comments everyone?
I thought he debuted well. Was not overawed but the situation and showed a lot of poise when the pressure was on. His disposal was, for a first gamer, exquisite and on only one occassion did he not take the right option. His pass to Malceski was superb and his one-two combination handballs with McVeigh in the 3rd quarter was beautiful to watch (Only spoiled by McVeigh missing his target!!
)
IMO, a real prospect that will come on very, very quickly.Comment
