Gould spoke to Sportsday SA on Friday, he advised of the lengthy discussions held with Longmire during his first season on an AFL list in 2020.
“He wanted me to play & I wanted to play a bit more up the field half-back line,”
Gould was unable to make his debut in 2020, he spent the season playing practice matches & working on his defensive craft.

AFL FANTASY TAKE
Gould was unable to make his debut in 2020, it appears he has returned to pre-season in good physical condition & should be on track to play early in the 2021 season.
The position for Gould is quite significant, a role across half-back is likely to provide plenty of opportunities to score well from a fantasy perspective.

Gould will be highly owned in AFL Fantasy classic at Round 1 if a debut is confirmed, his low salary provides monster value considering what is likely to be a very good scoring role at the Swans.
Gould is worth a late round flyer in 10 team standard draft leagues.
