Weird.

We’ve been on top of the ladder for nearly 12 hours already and the main board still hasn’t seen a new Swans Academy thread.

Thought I'd just drop this in here...

To the grand final thread

 

[redstarforever_]

solid win to kick off the season. team pressure was too much for the suns

Monday.
When the bitterness sets in.

Good all round performance to kick things off.

The work of the younger brigade was really good. Ladhams impressed as well against a quality ruck. Mills is in for another AA year. Anyone wondering about Stephen’s can now relax. This was also a big game for Cambell…I felt pretty calm when he had the ball in his hands.

One thing I kept seeing was that Chol should have had at least 6 frees against him, for a forward he holds a hell of a lot and was left to do what he liked in that department

And he was completely ineffectual anyway.

I haven’t seen him play before. Is he usually a bit better than that?

 

[The King!]

Mclean and Mcdonald both did well, difficult marking conditions, but both involved

It was only the gold coast!


Every comment I've read this morning.

Taking nothing away as I thought we played hard footy but what’s the go with GC
Only r1 but they looked average again

Gonna take beating the Pies, Cats and the Dees for that to show up again lol

Also noticed today, something I am sure other people have already noticed but Ladhams loves a handball out of congestion, it sometimes working and sometimes not.

and a few too many "look-away" handballs, trying to be a bit clever ... but that's an indication ladhams backs his skills, he clearly has more than the average lumbering ruck, and he's still got so much improvement
he also seems to cover a lot of ground
still has a lot to learn but i really liked his game

 

[the hypnotoad]

We did what we should let’s be honest

We are a top team

Defence is still a worry with leaking goals , and the smallls not holding there ground , Florent etc need to hold there opponent imo

Without any real standouts it was an overall win.

Gulden is ****ed up good

nine goals on their ground is hardly leaking
king kept to one goal and negligible contribution
you could argue junk time goals are potentially a problem but we pretty much controlled the game after the good start, never looked like losing
and i reckon blakey was a lot better than he'll get credit for

 

[the hypnotoad]

buddy in a bit of trouble

yep ... there's no defence
it's the way he plays
at least one, maybe two weeks

 

[the hypnotoad]

Looks like a young Kieran Jack.

jack is a swans great but campbell has far more natural skill ...

 

[mattpolo8]

Autopsy is we belted them just as I expected. Cruise control for most of the night in basically wet weather conditions.

So much upside to last night. Warner, gulden and Stephens were good, but they are better then that. Buddy did his work early then played cameo and our defence worked as the perfect team. Imagine if rampe can hold that form!

 

[the hypnotoad]

Shouldn't get any but who knows. Early in the season they're all Wrath of God followed by Nothing to see Here come finals time

he has to get at least a week ... there's no defence, no excuse ... it wasn't as blatant as pickett but franklin has always played that way and often been lucky

Everyone has to complain about those Swans recruits of Stephens and Warner who performed last night

/s

 

[kelpie_X]

Will be a light week you'd imagine after that game. My only concern is it doesn't leave us flat against the Hawks.

Nah we'll be right. We've got nothing to play for for the rest of the season so we may as well just leave it all out on the field each week

 

[kickthething]

I haven’t seen enough of him

 

[Mister B]

Would have to be graded high impact or intentional. No way either of those will get past.

Amazing they weren't lifted by the 9000 locals there who's second team is Gold Coast.

Kicks a bit better!

 

[Kiama Chris]

Reid Will return if fit

Horse didn't sound as if that was all that likely.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Can’t see it being any more than a week based on the grading system. Funnily enough, while the media are hanging Franklin, they are pretending that Pickett barely glanced his opponent and justifying why he shouldn’t be suspended for weeks.

Not to mention the Rowell bump on Juzzy which was hip direct to head. Juzzy was over the ball and had hands on it. The tackle was on.

9000 is generous. Crowd of 13000 and I dare say about 6000 swans supporters came through Broadbeach South station while I was waiting for the bus back to Coolangatta.
