Jude sniffs another medal is why haha  :P

Nice Fantasy write up. Basically summarised, will probably play this year, even if he doesn't start round 1. But don't expect massive fantasy scores.

Would of thought with you guys strong squad he wouldnt get a game? Cunningham, Mitchell just a few ahead ? Or will he fasttrack them? And others in the team?

Tempted to make some sort of Steve McQueen Towering Inferno joke but I can't think of one

if he stays true to form, then he is a defender, which will probably be the 'easiest' line to break into this year. Cunners and Mitchell are really competing to run through the midfield

Interesting. Always thought he was a winger. But hopefully he can crack a game! He is mid only but in fantasy isnt he?

[elephants]

Yeah mate, mid only.

Hopefully a downgrade target, plenty of mid starting options (I can't fit them all in!!)

Yeh i know! Hopefully he doesn't play till round 7 or 8 haha

Would be a lock at any other club, but sydney, they never seem to play their rookies straight away. With blokes like parker still likely to cop a few vests this year, it seems unlikely we will see him until there are some injuries

[Capper]

Lined up against Everitt in the Swans Intraclub and started off well until the rain came and he struggled in the wet. Will not be a wet weather player.

Why would you pick a mature aged player with your first pick in the National draft if you weren't thinking of using him this season?

I think perhaps though that the Swans see him as slotting into the team once Bolton retires so next season could be his year.

He will be up against the likes of Armstrong and Everitt for a game though.

Future planning, while he may not play too many this year our defense (which is where I think he will play to start) is getting on in years.

Shaw 32 - Turns 33 this year
Mattner - 31 - Turns 32 this year
Richards 30 - Turned 30 in Jan
LRT 29 - Turns 30 this year
Eski 28 -  Turns 29 this year

Throw in Bolton (33 next month), ROK (Turned 32 in Jan)

Our list will look pretty different in 2-3years.

I haven't even seen Towers play yet and I already know he'll be better than those two spuds.
