THE Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney Giants academies were put through their paces at preseason testing events in Canberra and Sydney over the weekend, with Max King and Isaac Baldwin dominating each event for their respective programs.

Baldwin, a top-ager from the Giants Academy, remarkably topped the charts for every test in Canberra on Saturday, but finished second overall to King in the standing and running vertical jumps. The latter placed second to Baldwin in the 20-metre sprint.

King is among the Swans’ most promising juniors and performed strongly at last year’s Under 16 National Championships. His all-round athletic profile makes him a versatile prospect with plenty of upside at 191cm, well poised to feature in draft discussions next year.

Others to impress include the Giants’ Mitchell Bradley, who achieved top five finishes in the standing vertical jump, 20-metre sprint, and agility test. Swans over-ager and Allies representative Max Rider also proved his readiness with the equal-top yo-yo test score (21.02).

The Swans will have high hopes for National Academy member Joel Cochran, who notched up the fourth-best overall running vertical jump. Midfielder Joe Harrison, who turned out in last year’s AFL Futures game, achieved the same placing in the agility test.
