2nds Swans Reserves 2019

[mikey_san]

It’d be nice to see Stoddart actually played the half back for once where he actually belongs. In the senior games and the scratch match a few weeks back, he was playing as this floater who is on the wing one minute and in the forward pocket the next. Then we wonder why he can’t insert himself into the game properly...

Can see both sides of that coin. Yes I'd like to see him run off half back - but having a Wingard like outlet off the packs is something we need too. He'll want a big game today - the gauntlet has been thrown from McInerney this preseason.
No disrespect to Uni intended but it's a shame this game isn't v Lions or even GC reserves - I'd like to see a lot of these guys v AFL (or near) opposition before the main comp starts.

It’s a shame it won’t be streamed online given there’s likely to be less people in attendance than expected due to weather.

There's a small undercover section in the stand - I might brave it.

Worry Dtufs is sharing with Toblerone Pinkster and is being starved.

Maybe he will always be a wiry type. If so let him rip. Btw I see Blakey is listed as 80kg. Suspect he will not put on more 7kg over ft he next ten years. Not worried. He's already showing some strength out of kilter with his build.

If he's not at least 87 already I'm a french poodle.

I thought about it, but that small undercover section is going to be packed I reckon...

Empty actually. Perfect day for footy too.

Mcleans first effort was a contested mark from their kick in and good delivery inside 50.

Thanks. Can you tell us who else is playing ?

It feels like Ronke has laid more tackles than the rest of the swans team combined..

Ronke, Rox, Rose, rowbottom...

Has probably been told he needs to deliver on that as a small forward if he wants to play in the senior 22. Hasn’t shown much of that during JLT so glad to hear it.

To be fair it was about 5 mins in the first QTR- want to see more of it

 

[mikey_san]

Mclean in the bests so far.
15-8 our way at the break. Uni have sone good run.
Wish I knew who half these acadamy guys were.
Rose all over the ground, but giving it away a fair bit too.

McInerney?

Fair call. Definitely need to see more of it, hopefully he has received the message.

The mere fact he is playing today suggests he is right in the edge of selection / missing out for R1.

Ronke, Rox, Rose, rowbottom...

Who is Rox?

 

[mikey_san]

Cameron's knee strapped. Post surgery?
Overheard "I haven't exercised in two weeks" Least I think it was him.

 

[mikey_san]

McInerney?

Done a few nice things. Not dominating.

 

[RUNVS]

Who is Rox?

Robbie Fox

Not really great conditions for McInerney to use his weapons.

 

[RUNVS]

I love hearing that about Bell and Rowbottom. I think both could be pushing for first team football this year.

 

[caesar88]

Robbie Fox

How the **** did I not get that one

 

[mikey_san]

It's perfect footy weather. Few s p rinkles.

Rowbottom shows go o d evasion at times, looks light even in a neafl game though.

He just butchered it, worked his butt off to get it back and then ran on to provide an option for hanball get, and delivered it by foot. Nice.
