‘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.

The secret behind Tom Trbojevic's incredible injury comeback in the NRL

Tom Trbojevic’s explosive speed was also responsible for a series of injuries, but a former AFL doctor has cracked the code for keeping him on the field for the Manly Sea Eagles — and now in contention for a Dally M medal.

Key points:

1. After bouncing back from a bad run with injuries, Tom Trbojevic is one of the main contenders for the 2021 Dally M Medal
2. Former AFL doctor Nathan Gibbs has found the right recipe to keep Trbojevic on the park
3. Dr Gibbs praised the 24-year-old for his "mental ability to get back up off the floor"

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?

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.

You could see his intent from that first kick return last night. He came back at full throttle and almost busted straight through and I thought ‘well he’s on tonight”.

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.
