Malceski’s arduous journey battling back from three serious knee injuries all became worthwhile in 2012 when he played a key role in the Swans’ premiership success. 

Playing 22 games for the year, the running defender had a dip in form midway through the season, forcing him out of the team. 

But he returned in style against the Brisbane Lions in round 15 and did not miss a game the rest of the way. 

Kicking the Swans' first and last goals of the Grand Final, Malceski got his hands on a well-deserved premiership medallion.

Draft history: 2002 National AFL Draft 5th round selection (Sydney) No. 64 overall.

2013 Coaches Call

2012 was a great year, with Malceski finishing with probably one of the best games he’s ever played and what better place to do it than the 2012 Grand Final?

Pre-season has been terrific. He turned up in very good condition over the pre-season and has produced equal PB times.

We hope in 2013
that he continues to play his role whether that be on a wing or half-back.
