"I suppose it's a good ability to have in your repertoire that you can play different positions. I told 'Swoop' (Tim Geappen) that we will clear out the 50 next week back at Swans and I will be the big bear down there to keep the goals flowing."

Twomey has played in some great wins in his career most notably the 2010 premiership and he did play two games with Carlton in the AFL in 2011, but the win for WA over Victoria is one that he certainly considers right up there.

Especially given the Black Swans were 31 points down midway through the third quarter.

"This win is right up there in my career. In the third quarter I thought we could go one of two ways; we could either quit and give up and everyone just worried about themselves but we didn’t and everyone bonded as a team to help us get over the line. It was a fantastic effort," Twomey said.

"We felt that if we were close at three quarter-time we were going to give it a shake. I guess from playing VFL and then WAFL you notice the difference in body size and that kind of stuff.

"Naturally if someone's bigger they won't run as hard as a leaner, more athletic type so I thought if we were close and got our ball movement going we could give it a shake."

Twomey returned to Swan Districts in 2012 after his year with Carlton but had a niggling knee problem that delayed his start to the season and meant he was playing catch-up most of the way.

He was still a key player in the Swans' team that made the preliminary final, but this year he was able to do a full pre-season and his form has reflected that with him so far averaging 24.8 possessions in his six WAFL games with Swan Districts.

"A big pre-season always helps. Last year I literally started playing Round 1 and didn’t get to train before hand at all," he said.

"That just helps your confidence in your body as well and of a sudden you can take the game on a lot more, and then you end up playing well."

It's now back to WAFL action this Saturday for Twomey and Swan Districts, and the opponent is East Perth meaning that premiership coach Brian Dawson is making his first trip back to Steel Blue Oval as a visiting coach since leading Swans to the 2010 flag.

"I don’t know if it's different. We still get along very well me and Daws so it won't make things any different between us, but I suppose he has some insights on the boys that might help them," Twomey said.

"Each game we come into we are just going to try our hardest and give it everything we've got, so it doesn’t change anything for us if Daws is coaching the opposition team. I'm sure it will be an interesting day for him back at Bassendean and not coaching us though."
