VFL 2023 Swans Reserves

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Strongest team on paper at least.

 

[caesar88]

Now that's a stronger side!

Looking forward to seeing Melican back in action, and a nice response from Stephens, Sheldrick & Francis.

Not sure why Sheldrick is listed in the middle. Surely should be in a forward pocket. The captain starting on the bench too. Line-up in the reserves makes about as much sense as the seniors on when it is released.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

3 key defenders in reserves, only one true tall defender in firsts.

 

[Mister B]

Anyone know what the parking is like down at Franga? Have had a quick look on google maps and looks to be a bit of onroad and carparks but not sure if it is ticketed / permit only.

It's take your own risk.

as in availability wise or security wise?

There is a council car park across the road

 

[Mister B]

Thanks bedford. As for the rest of you…

 

[TheMase]

Hoping to see Vickery build on his last game. Looking forward to Konstanty having his second run after blowing the cobwebs out.

 

[TheMase]

And looking forward to seeing Kirk again who has been impressive

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

At some stage would like to see Gander given a crack

 

[Mister B]

Not as cold as predicted. Fingers crossed the rain stays away. Surface looks alright.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

At some stage would like to see Gander given a crack

And Caleb May, I've been quite impressed by him. 205cm ruck, hope he can progress to be rookied / drafted (by us).

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Sheldrick and Francis not selected in final VFL side - possibly tomorrow's emergencies?

 

[Mister B]

Could be wrong but looked like Wicksy as runner.

 

[TheMase]

Free kicks all one way so far 6-0

 

[Dubai Quacker]

McAndrew is coming along very nicely.

It’d be great to see the commentary focus on something other than his height.

He played a good first quarter unlike most of the others.

Looks like Frankston were running with the wind.

 

[TheMase]

Pretty poor first quarter again. Struggling without genuine inside players

 

[Mister B]

Qtr time message. Win the contest. Own the ball. Wingers not rolling back like they would like and down 8 on the tackles.

 

[Punts]

Nearly at the ground

 

[TheMase]

Great mark and goal Hickey, needed that.

 

[Mister B]

**** me dead this umpiring is atrocious. Look at them and free against.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

The rule I hate more than any other is 50 against a player running back and supposedly into the “protected zone” whilst having absolutely no impact on the play.

Does my head in.
