VFL 2023 Swans Reserves

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Great Sam gets to have a run around. I'm guessing he will be on limited minutes which will irk him. Suspect he will be aiming to stick some tackles and hope his shoulder passes muster.

Don't know anything about Tom Howard. bedford or anyone else

thanks.

He looks a typical Swans top up for VFL. A small defender and flanker type.

this week, both doing very well in the VFL this year as tall defenders.

Good to see Caleb Mitchell also on the list for the weekend.

As well as Hamish Morrison (who I believe is rustycrate's nephew).

Mentioned him earlier in the thread;

He's joined us from NM.
Relocated to NSW and now affiliated with North Shore as his local club.

Only played the 5 games for NM (reserves) last year, but did play with Hall-Kahan at the Sandy Dragons.

Mention of him from our VFL practice game v Brisbane;
New recruit Tom Howard impressed with some fearless tackle pressure up forward and two goals,

19yo 182cm 80kg flanker .

He played in the Casey game and I noted;
Liked Howard's first up game on the wing.
As with a number of our players drifted out of the game, but handy debut.

I think this will be just his second game for the reserves.

Thanks for that.

Good luck to young Hamish tomorrow

 

[Nuggetz]

great to see slick wicks return

 

[RMercadi]

I watched them last week down at Franga. They had a red hot go in the last quarter but honestly are not very good. I think Balwyn would probably roll them. Barely local footy standard.

[SeanM]

Interesting to see if we adjust our attacking approach. We have only got one tall forward Owen. But a few decent smaller forwards in Haley, Konstanty, Wicks, Magor, Sheather and Hall-Kahan.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Reckon Gus is a definite starter and Stephens will be sub for seniors. I’d be amazed if Sheather plays a full game with the bone bruising to his knee - gutsy lad. Maybe BigMac plays limited Minutes and is an injury cover emergency if Hickey is damaged in the warm up.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Sheather not on the team list, he might be the sub?

 

[GoodesStuff]

Sheather only emergency not starting so I’d say he will be the sub for seniors

 

[alex4445]

Wicks with some good tackling early. Doesnt seem bothered by the shoulder.

 

[Punts]

Kick Gus

 

[Punts]

Melican Lol

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Melican Lol

Spud I Can

 

[Punts]

Honestly we look so average at vfl level

Stephens should be dominating to be honest l

Gus is a shocking kick at times

Melican come on

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Really good from Sam Wicks.

 

[alex4445]

Almost hard to believe how bad the kicking is at times

With some decent kicking going into the 50 and some competent goal kicking we would be ahead.

 

[caesar88]

Some of McAndrew's tap work is legit stunning. Loving HRH Rankin off the half back line.

Our three most experienced in Melican, Wicks and Stephens all look lively, would just like to see them use it better (Wicks' last play to set up Konstanty was awesome though.)

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Billy Teds having a very good game thus far. Rough as guts but a leap year ahead of all our other 2022 draftees.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Not ideal when Stephens is being selfish at times and Sheldrick butchering it and they are our next two in outside the seniors
