The Swans young gun is enjoying life in the AFL's 'WA bubble' - especially being able to play footy at Optus Stadium. Bell has more space to roam than his home ground - the Perth field is about 10 metres wider than the SCG - allowing him to exploit opposition with his electric pace and endurance running.

And Bell has taken little time to make an impression at the Perth venue.

The AFL South Coast product had 13 disposals, five tackles and a goal as Sydney recorded a 41-point win over the Giants last Thursday night.

"That was the first time I've played there so it's my favourite ground already," Bell told Australian Community Media.

"It's really open, so a lot of running can be done on it.

"I think it's going to suit the way we want to move the ball, using gears that we've got in the team, the running outlets that we've got and really exposing the one on ones with our talls as well.

"[That win] builds a lot of confidence, it's just a matter of having that as a standard and to keep lifting from that.

"Everyone knows we can't rely on one win and then three weeks of average footy.

"We need to keep on top of it and keep getting better."

Bell's goal was the cherry on top of Sydney's win.

After a long kick down field from Tom Papley, the Shellharbour junior grabbed possession near the behind post and wheeled on to his right before snapping truly.

"I thought it was going to go through for a goal but I thought I'd be there in case it went anywhere else," Bell said.

"As soon as it bounced, I realised it was going into the behind goals and I had to grab it.

"It was a sigh of relief because I was absolutely cooked from just running.

"I had helped set up another goal [earlier] and thought I probably should have kicked it.

"I've got to keep working hard and things will come."

The Swans will return to Optus Stadium to face Fremantle on Saturday night as part of Sir Doug Nicolls Round, which recognises and celebrates indigenous players and culture.

It's an occasion that means a lot to Bell, who is a proud Aboriginal man.

"It makes me think back and the opportunity I get to represent my family and my culture, and to be an indigenous player to come through and put the red and white on," the 21-year-old said.

"Lewis Jetta was a massive idol of mine when he played for the Swans.

"Another indigenous player that I looked up to but played for another team was Bradley Hill.

"The idols in my life have been indigenous players."

Bell is preparing to play his fourth straight AFL game.

He was forced to wait until round eight to get back into the side, with injuries to Josh Kennedy and Isaac Henney opening the door for a return.

As one of the Swans' youngest players, Bell said it was an exciting time for the club's next generation.

"I'm building a lot of confidence. I'm able to do extras in the hub, keep kicking my legs over and am running out games a lot better," he said.

"Us younger fellas are just having fun and bringing that energy as well.

"I mean, who wouldn't want to play senior footy and live that hub lifestyle? I think that helps, just being close together.

"A lot of the boys want to play senior footy so it's a good environment when everyone wants each other to do well."
