Bursts of good form at NEAFL level provided James Bell with his senior debut at the tail end of the season. He started up forward in both of his matches, failing to make any significant impact. The Academy selection went at rates of 19 disposals and six tackles in the NEAFL, predominantly as a speedy midfielder. Bell is very much a fringe player who'll again need to show consistency in the twos if he wants to push for a senior call-up. Not to be drafted, and he won't attract much hype from salary cap competitions due to those two senior games lifting his price into the tricky range.
Just tinkles from Bell

Faint noise from Bell
Recruited through the Sydney Academy system, James Bell is midfielder with speed who adds depth to the Swans squad. Now in his second preseason, Bell will be hopeful to take his game to the next level. Bell will continue to learn his trade in the Swans’ NEAFL side and won’t feature in the starting squad. As a rookie-listed player, he is best left undrafted.
