Past players - what are they up to?

[KSAS]

I've only just picked up that Ollie Florent played his 200th game last week and Will Hayward last night. Not a good night it turned out for Will unfortunately.

Amazing they both reached their milestones within a game of each other and guessing they would've received accolades from their former team mates.

Ted Richards has been named as one of five people on the panel to select Essendon's next coach.

Hugo Hall-Kahan makes the Adelaide team in ten days after being taken in the mid season draft and did well tonight including a match saving mark. Well done lad.

Tom Mitchell interviews Luke Parker. Very enjoyable. Tom made Luke subconsciously feel insecure about his hair. Count the number of times Luke touches the back of his head, seemingly to be assured it was all still there.

Hugo HK is making his debut for Adelaide this week. From memory, Ludwig was one of his biggest champions on here so a nice validation.

Was nice to see some clarity provided around Parker's exit of the club too - puts some of the nonsense that has been peddled out to pasture.

Interesting 1 hr chat between Luke Parker as guest on Tom Mitchell 's podcast, discussing his entire career. Revealing insights into the GF's, players, coaches and his move to North.

Humurous and forthright chat between 2 former Swans recounting their time at the club. Why Parks is a legend
Highly recommend.

3 former Swans affiliated players taken in the mid-season draft

former academy product, ruckman Caleb May 208cm by the Dogs

previous Swan mid-season draftee Hugo Hall-Kahan188cm by the Crows

former Swans academy defender Liam Puncher195cm to Collingwood (how many players with ties to the Swans does one club want?! They’ve been taking players off us for decades!)

As every bit as important as the big name academy players are, those that are coming through like this that find their ways onto AFL lists are critical to supporting the model going forward. When clubs like bitchfest St Kilda have a moan, we are starting to get quite a decent list of examples of players we didn't take that have been good enough to be picked up by other clubs over time, thereby highlighting the key role it is playing in enhancing the overall player depth in footy.

Colin O'Riordan has been chosen as the coach of Ireland for the upcoming women's international series. Dual flag coach, new Swans mentor to lead Australia and Ireland rep footy sides.

Belated Vale to former Swan Neil Daniher. Signed with us but traded without ever playing. One of the worst trades ever. But one of the nicest guys (& families)

I've noticed in a couple of the Swans 'Behind The Scenes" videos this season Ryan Clarke hanging out with the players. Great to see him still around and supporting the lads.

He obviously made some great mates while playing for us.....and/or has he got a role at the club?

Founded a pay per use gym access company called Goer. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s promoting it.

Horrid news and circumstances. Awful for the entire family.

Just heard the tragic news of Jordan Dawson's brother Jaryd's body being found after being reported missing. Police report no suspicious circumstances. Very sad. Feel for Jordan and his family.
