Brandon Jack

Is that the way it works?

If he is registered for the draft this year, but is not taken in the ND, then he can be taken as a NSW rookie either this year or next?
Can we just prelist him after the ND is over?
Can GWS take him as a NSW rookie as well? Can there be a Cunningham sort of thing where if we don't take him this year as a rookie, GWS can? I would be worried about that, as it would be great publicity for them having one of the Jack kids, especially now that they lost Izzy. They would be looking for that kind of coup.

I agree that he looks great on the video, regardless of the quality of the competition. He looks so much like a taller version of KJ, kicking and all.

If you are not a stand out in a poorly performed u/18 RAMS team, no senior AFL club is going to be interested in you.

Swans had a dozen draft aged Academy members, I think (?), of them Daniel Robinson got the most mentions from the national carnival.

They all seem to get their turn for a mention in the "bests" when they step up to Ressies.

Swans will continue to draft the way that has worked so well for them, they will take the best available players that enhance their list.

Interesting to note that they have cut 2 of their 3 former NSW Scholarship holders - Lynch and Gordon gone, only Bird remains - and also NSW origin rookies, Kruger and McNeill gone ... no fear nor favour!

However, if they are going to rely on "blood lines", you would prefer to be a B Jack or a D Roos when they start reading out names at the draft!

Does anyone know what's going on with brandon jack? Have a look at these highlights he looks like an absolute jet! How can he get into the swannies? He is going to be a star i reckon.

Uncanny how much he looks like his big bro. Only problem is he is playiong against traffic cones in the SFL. Sure the Swans have done their research but would hate to see another club get their hands on him

[Swanner]

He looks like he has pace, change of direction and good awareness and skills and a great swans like attack on the ball - he should be picked up. Very disappointed that we could lose him.

Rumour has it that he may follow the family tradition and become a Tiger.

What, of the Queanbeyan variety?

What, of the Queanbeyan variety?

arf arf, you pot stirrer. For the rest of us, the other pot stirrer meant the Balmain Tigers (his father's old ARL team), and I think that now translates to Western Tigers (name could be a bit wrong, I was lost to AFL from 1996).

Looks like all my dreams for the rookie draft might be coming true

"Meanwhile, Sydney has invited the younger brothers of Kieren Jack and Ted Richards to pre-season training, with the pair possible considerations for the December 11 rookie draft."

Promoted, well played.

Interesting how at the start of this thread we were wondering if we'd ever get him.

[ShockOfHair]

We're certainly putting the 'brothers' into the Blood Brothers.

[Primmy]

I love it!!! On behalf of the RessieWatchers, We toldyers!!!

Looks like a bit of long legged, long necked bird out there, but he is quick, and he is a fearce tackle. This is going to be really good.

I'd just like to congratulate my boy Brando' for getting his first senior game this season.

I called it early , don't want to get too much of a big head but Kinnear Beatson might have been following swanspant12 posts on RWO!

Congrats Brando!

[ScottH]

I assume he was only promoted today, as the article claims "recently promoted"

[ShockOfHair]

Just looking at the hype around Joe Daniher's debut in the Melbourne footy media. Honestly. They gave Tom Mitchell pretty routine treatment last week.

So here's hoping Brandon gets a big burst in the Sydney media for his debut.

Is his nickname BJ or is there something a bit more creative?
