WELCOME TIM MEMBREY!

[Bloody Hell]

Anyway, there is an interview with him on SEN site. He seems to have intellectually come to terms with going to Sydney, not emotionally though. He still seemed shocked by the whole thing, seems like a level headed kid.

Looking forward to watching him

Got a link?...I can't find it.

Did his knee in a final at the Dome against Hawthorn right in front of us. Crawford stood over him and gave him a mouthful while he was writhing on the ground. He was captain of I think Calder Cannons and was their midfield star. His knee injury certainly set him back as far as playing in the midfield. I was surprised he was not moved there sooner.

Was it fairly early in the game? I seem to recall he marked strongly early close to 50, slotted it through and I thought "he's in for a big game!" then he did his knee within minutes of it. I might just be overly dramatising it in my head, though.

It was certainly first half, on the wing on the city side, but not in the first 5-10 minutes from memory.

Kell was killing them playing at FF until he did a hammy (?) just before halftime. We were cooked then and Hawthorn put on a clinic in the second half. I remember being so confident before that game but the Gods certainly conspired against us.

It took ROK several pre-seasons to develop the tank to play that role effectively. He was drafted in 1999 (I think) and didn't really establish himself in the senior team until 2003, and then took another year or two before he really perfected that role. He did have some niggling injuries and a family tragedy to overcome in his first few years, which may have slowed his progress a little, but still, if we do hope that is the kind of role Membrey might eventually play, we will need to be patient for him to grow into it.

Oh, absolutely- it'll take a few years I assume for him to be able to have a crack at playing that role, and I'm sure he won't end up doing it and I'm just fan-fantasizing! I just think it would be wonderful to take the pressure off the deep forwards again, and it seemed to be a wonderful setup for the SCG.

The thing with our recruitment department and why we are so successful with our later picks is because we identify a role within their ability and train them to utilise there strengths and minimise their weaknesses. If the knock on Parker was his pace, the gee whiz a lot of the other recruiters have egg on their faces. Parks is a tough inside midfielder who loves the contest and was brilliant early on before his collarbone injury. If the draft was re-done he would be top 10-20 IMO.

If you repeated any draft, every club (including ours) would have egg on their faces. The draft is a gamble for many reasons.

Interesting to see so many swans draftee interviews on sen, not many other clubs getting that treatment. Winning flags is paying off

IN keeping with his distinctive palm tree tattoo, 2012 Gippsland Power captain Tim Membrey is destined for a change of scenery after being drafted to Australian Football League team the Sydney Swans last Thursday.See your ad hereThe Power forward was expected to be snapped up as a first round pick, but slid to 46 much to the delight of the reigning AFL premiers.At 190 centimetres and boasting a golden right boot, Membrey is ready made for the AFL, according to a Power spokesperson, who tipped the 18 year-old to play 10 first grade matches next season.
Let hope 10 games would be create if that was the case we see how he performs in the nab cup first. It would be interesting to team all the swans forwards to development next year and see some game time becuause we have a few fighting for places next year it be a nice change.

Strange quote from an Aussie rules person. NSW article?

For what it's worth, the article below rates the new draftees on their chances of making an impression in the 2013 season. Tim Membrey comes in at no. 8 and Dean Towers at 15. Hope Tim comes anywhere close to the hype as he would be very handy for a pick 46, especially in that style of Darling role for us. Love the lethal shot at goal references!

If you copy the page address into a google search and then click on it when it comes up in the results, it should show the whole article. That trick normally works anyway with most pages in some magical electronic interweb sort of way.....

That works a treat, thanks.

I really rate Membrey in the lead up to the draft so was excited we got him, and particularly as he was dirt cheap. Think the article on the 20 most likely is fairly spot on. Reckon with our lack of depth that Membrey and Towers could play big roles for us this year, both look ready to go. Be interesting to see how they go with the pre season stuff.

Given the big clean out of players and the late sart to training by the premiership players, it's going to be a very new look team we field for the pre season (NAB?) cup. Can't wait to see these guys in action, Blacktown, Sunday 24th February 4.40pm is the place to be :-)
