Swans are coming off a disappointing loss, in which the Western Bulldogs ran over the top of them late. Sydney's ball use coming out of defence has been a real problem for the side. It doesn't have the players in defence that can reliably hit a target by foot, and too often attempt to pick off a risky switch deep in the back 50

This could be a rough watch for the rest of the year. We definitely have the top end talent but with a lot of injuries the next up definitely are younger and drop away

This season is a write-off, results wise. But there's a silver lining in the form of a high draft pick in what is meant to be a strong year and the first truly national draft for the AFLW.

There's also a chance to see which of our more talented younger players can step up and fill the gaps. So far I've been pretty happy with Hurley. She's not suddenly turned into a star, but she's continuing on her trajectory from the last two years.

Does anyone know what's up with Ham? I had dramas getting into the ground last week, and circumstances meant I was only partly paying attention to the game. I remember being upset that Ham was so quiet, but wasn't paying enough attention to realise why. When I did realise why, after the game, I presumed she'd been rested for this match. But clearly not.

Her injury issues are proving to be as frustrating as those of Sheldrick.

Wondering if she was still recovering from that heavy knock the other week.

Wondering if she was still recovering from that heavy knock the other week.

After posting I went and read something (either a match report from last week or a team selection article for this week) and it mentioned "foot soreness".

 

[LukeParkerno1]

injuries have hurt us hope we play well

Can’t go worse than a certain other game last week

From the Injury report...
Montana reported foot soreness following the Swans Round 4 game against GWS. She will be a test to play Round 6B vs Geelong.

Defence holding up well. Priv needed to kick that.

 

[Voula]

So glad we have Tarrant back. We really missed her last week.

That was a bad miss by Privitelli. Very unlike her.

Hurley has started well.

Umpiring is crap again.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We have missed Tarrant so much this year. This season will be a massive “what if”

 

[Voula]

Terrible kick inside 50. Should have gone straight to Privitelli. Bombers then take it all the way forward for a goal.

Story of the year

Say this with love and I love Montana as a person and when she plays but at what point do we say what’s the point?

 

[Kbroome]

Really liking Cooper on ball. She is could be a good tagger or defensive midfielder in the future

 

[Voula]

Yay we scored! Much better kick to Privitelli. I was concerned when she went around the corner because last week when she did that, she rushed it and missed.

 

[Voula]

We've been the better team this 3rd quarter but we can't put it on the scoreboard.

 

[Voula]

What a rubbish HTB, she had no prior! And before that the Essendon player wouldn't give the ball to us after the free and it should've been 50.

 

[Voula]

Haha another melee! It would have been good to actually see the Prespakis incident.

Girls are putting in at least that’s all I ask the rest of the year lost too many players unfortunately

 

[Kbroome]

I reckon Lochland is sadly past it. Needs to pass the keys to youngster even midfields that can be blooded in as small forwards

 

[Voula]

Ella Heads first goal!

 

[Kbroome]

Ella Heads first goal!

She looks good on the wing. I mean she looks good anywhere away from a lockdown role

 

[Voula]

That should have been HTB to Beruldsen in front of goal!! The Essendon player threw it!!!

 

[Voula]

McEvoy!!! Come on!
We have been the much better side this half.

 

[RilesMacca]

That was a poor kick from Mitchell, great effort though girls.
