They want to see Warner developed in the midfield as they see him as the next big thing. In that sense, Hewett was a list clogger. Apart from that issue, whether because of their midfield setup or a lack of imagination, the Swans played him as a lockdown tagger and Hewett obviously felt that he had more to offer.Yes, they might be re-writing history a little there. As you highlight he hardly spent time in the midfield, but when he did he was as good as any. I remember a game against the Dees when he and Newman dominated, the season before Newman moved to us. But like Newman before him, Hewett got side-lined in the Swans midfield pecking order.
Newman moved to us to become a serviceable defender, and Hewett is a rolled gold midfielder / utility.
But I still assert, in our current midfield the sum is greater than the parts, they have a genuine footy chemistry going, because of that if they stick together they have serious opportunities coming their way!
