Group 1 


Dave Ellard          Returning to Swans for the first time since the 2007 colts grand final. 
                               In great nick and there’s no doubt he’ll have immediate impact on field.

Matt Rogers         Has had a very strong pre-season and with more supply will be a force 
                               this season. Warm up form has been excellent.

Levi Ridley           Fresh off a year off and displaying all the traits that saw him play senior 
                               footy in 2015.

John Armstrong –  Developing tall forward whose movement is extremely strong for his size. 
Maeva Walker      Elite athlete from the Pilbara graduating from the colts. Lots to offer.
Tyler Ipsen-            Has had an enormous pre-season and if his training form translates into 
                               on field performance then he’ll have a great year.

 Group 2


Tallan Ames       The captain has come up with a strong program to keep him on field.
                             If the plan  works, he’ll still be the premier tall defender in the competition. 

Todd Banfield     the last 6 weeks of 2016 saw him hit a rich vein of form and his training has 
                              been first rate. In for a big season. 

Warrick Wilson   The most elite of left feet underpins his game. If we can get the ball in his 
                              hands enough, he’ll always be a real weapon.  

Justin Shand      Really coming on in the ruck and developing his game around the ground.
                             Very excited about his future. 

Chad Daniels      Fitter than ever after coming off a cage fighting training program. 
                              Already played senior footy and a lot more is in store if he keeps improving.

                              Former reserves F and B winner so always finds the footy.

                                   Crowley, Ellard and Ellis for added ball winning support.
