VFL 2023 Swans Reserves

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Lovely suburban footy ground.

Notable that our forward 50 entries become aimless and impotent when Buller is off the field or rucking.

Aye. Spent many a day there. The Swinburne Centre is great..

 

[Wheresbuddy]

I like Buller. Can see him challenging Amartey and McLean very soon. Arnold shows promise, in particular as an intercept defender. Stephens, Clarke, Warner, Rankin, Stretch and Mitchell all been solid. Gould having a shocker.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Urgh, McAndrew poked at that shot like Hickey did last week.

RJ has been mentoring him. Hehe…actually sob

BigMac just improves from week to week and is now taking more marks around the ground.

Good start against the wind. C’mon lads.

 

[RampeRobe]

This is a horrendous standard of footy, wind must be a mess

- even in the VFL he absolutely gives it everything.

Great clubman.

When was the last time there was a Hugo Two-Dads playing for each team?

Ralphsmith doesn't have a hyphen.

 

[grimlock]

I like the way Buller goes about it. Only 1 goal and 5 disposals so far, but he struts about the forward line with so much swagger and confidence, and has the ability to back it up.

 

[RampeRobe]

Bradtke looks like a big simple lad

 

[SwansProudly]

Some of the goals

Really hope that the club retains both Clarke and Hickey next year. Add a lot more than just their play.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Good tough game in the wind. Couple of selfish efforts that quarter.

 

[dosser]

Ralphsmith doesn't have a hyphen.

Oh, so he's too good for a hyphen is he?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Really thought we played better in Q1.

Mitchell showed a bit and pleased with Arnold’s game. The delivery to big Jack has been diabolical.

The immortal David Rhys-Jones invites him to the car park.

I like that Jack can win the ball once it's on the deck. He also seems to have a good tank, being able to work up the ground then back. So even though he's had a low possession game, he's still involved. If he can reproduce this at AFL level, he will be a great pick up.

caesar88 is right. The Ressies are the vibe.

Made umpteen leads and the blokes upfield just can’t deliver to his advantage.

Stephens and Clarke just don’t read BigMacs palms. GusGus would have 25 if he was in the 2s today.

 

[grimlock]

Awful turnover kick by Clarke, under no real pressure, costs us a goal.

 

[RilesMacca]

apart from that warner chance this has been a forgetful second half so far

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

That was Clarkey’s inability to kick the footy that caused that goal.

Delist.

 

[grimlock]

Was about to say in Malcolm Blight/Robert Walls style that we should try Buller as the backup ruck, and voila here he is.

 

[dosser]

Ralphsmith has had some kind of game

 

[kickthething]

Ralphsmith has had some kind of game

Some passages where we repeatedly miss targets are disappointing. This is still very winnable

 

[Neverwas]

Its at least a 3 goal wind. If we play it right we can win it.
