Probably.

How's Anthony's field kicking...that's what really determines whether a player is a A grader or not.

Not to sure, don't watch North Melbourne games, and when I do I watch the game not study players :-\

Well I'd dont agree that it does, Swan's kick wasn't great the last few years and he has been A+ grade.

Anyway, he has a nice kick.

Alex7089 · August 15, 2010, 10:46:24 PM

He has a very good kick and is quite composed good under pressure.

He hasn't been A+ for the last few years IMO. Only this year and maybe last.

Yeah I agree, but he said:

Now Anthony is not A grade atm (obviously) but he was asking if he will be. Swan didn't have a good kick but he still turned out to be A+ grade eventually didn't he?

Yeah Swan is A+, only JUST though.
In my opinion an A+ player must-
Be able to win a game on his own
Have leadership qualities
Get enough of the pill to have an effect on the game
Tackle lots
Win contested ball/50/50's
Kick goals (unless defender)
Make good decisions under pressure
Have a decent mark
run hard
Swan does that, but not many do, really.

I haven't done this on FF but I always do this with my self, usually when I'm bored in bed.

I make groups of a type of midfielder and allocate them to each group.
For me, Swan is a "Ball Handler/Ball Holder" meaning that he controls the ball, and moves it - basically meaning he gets quite a bit of cheap possessions.
The only one Swan isn't on that list, is a Game breaker. He is defiantly not a game breaker, he controls the ball and the team, but can't win games.
