      Im not sold on Abe as yet

      I suspect he is more of a convert to a key defensive role like a Grundy but has certainly been playing alot of minutes upfront given his size in the under 18s

      He has talent but i suspect that he might be more a third round or forth round pick..........all the div 1 teams have some very good talls

        he is quicker then Parker but i think heeney is more an inside player like luke..........i just noticed we have some vision of Issac on the swans website also

        Funny enough he doesnt look as physically strong in this video but he is a strong build and heavy in the legs like Parks. Heeney is 82kg and 185cm

          Heeney was good but for me didn't quite live up to the hype - he did take a few heavy knocks throughout the game though so that may have affected him a bit. But then he did top our disposals and he was hard at it so what would I know...

          I was really impressed by Mills - he seemed to have more silk and did some smooth stuff whilst getting plenty of the ball - for a bottom-ager (I think?) he looks to be something to look forward to. He looks like one to get really excited about...

            He is much quicker than Luke but attacks the football in a very similar way!

              Why would Roos not be eligible for father/son at Swans?

                Didn't play enough games for Sydney and his coaching record doesn't count.

                If the Roosey family had stayed in Sydney, he'd be eligible as an Academy player but it seems that despite spending several years in the Swans' Academy, the fact he's now moved to Melbourne means he's no longer eligible.

                I watched young Roos play in the game against NT and while he found a fair bit of the ball, he played very outside and didn't seem to like the physical contact. In yesterday's game he was getting stuck into contests far more and looked like he might be an AFL prospect.

                    How big is Roos Junior? He looked quite small on TV. He may be one of those kids who gets a late growth spurt as his father is very tall.
