‘Sliding Doors’: How Tom Trbojevic was almost lost to the AFL
Tom Trbojevic is the unbackable favourite for the Dally M medal, but those who spent time with him at the Sydney Swans Academy reckon he could well have been a Brownlow contender had he stuck with AFL.
Trbojevic juggled AFL and rugby league in his teens, before turning his full attention to the latter. However, he was a standout in Australian Rules, spending time in the Swans Academy from the age of 14 until just before he turned 17.
His stint with the Swans coincided with that of Isaac Heeney, another outstanding prospect who was equally adept at league. Heeney stuck with Australian Rules, going onto became a mainstay for the Swans during a career that has netted 111 appearances to date, while Trbojevic has made almost the identical number of appearances (112) for his beloved Sea Eagles.
“It’s Sliding Doors, isn’t it? You could see Isaac Heeney running around in a Manly jumper and Tom Trbojevic running around in a Swans jumper,” said the head of the Swans Academy, Chris Smith.

Is it just me or are other people amazed that the head of the Cygnets’ cross-country basketball academy, based in the middle of Sydney, does not know the difference between rugby and rugby league?‘Sliding Doors’: How Tom Trbojevic was almost lost to the AFL

It's an aussie rules thing. They don't have a clue like most victorians.

Yes I know. Exactly my point. And yet this bloke has presumably lived in Sydney for a number of years.

If there is a better player running around in 2021. I haven't seen him.
He's either filming or more likely thinking "I don't have time for this, there's a game to prepare for. Where's Des?"
He'd look good in a Hawks jumper though. On second thoughts he'd never get a start with the Hawks. He can catch the bloody ball. Best he stay in maroon and white.
