Thread: 2010 - Depth

    2010 - Depth

    Many comments made from RWO'ers on the depth we have in 2010, compared to the previous couple of seasons.

    So I thought I'd put a swans reserves side together. After taking out my best 22, I had a go at putting a side together with the rest. Includes players who are on the fringe of my best 22 and could have gone either way.

    B. P Bevan S Reid N Gordon
    HB. H Campbell T Richards E Barlow
    W. M O'Dwyer N Malceski L Jetta
    HF. B Sumner L Johnston G Rohan
    F. J Moore D Currie T Dennis-Lane
    Rucks M Pyke, B Meredith, K Thornton
    Int. T Gilchrist, J Orreal, Rookie, Rookie

    Obvoiulsy all these players won't play together due to injury, will play in different positions and we can only have a limited number of listed players playing in any one reserves game.

    But it does prove that the depth is hell of a lot better than 2009 and the list of kids is potentially the best wev'e had for a long time.

    I assume you meant C Heath, not H Campbell?

    Nice team. Crowds for the 2s will surely be up next year.

    only drama is that we can only play so many listed players in the ACT comp so that means some people may have to sit on the side lines

    This is a huge worry as many of our squad needs games to refine their craft.Being named an emergency also robs them of game time. Can the Swans look at another arrangement? Maybe those who miss out on a game can play for the local Sydney sides. I imagine the Canberra league to be much weaker than WAFL or SAFL and the Sydney comp.to be weaker again but game time is important for match fitness. A player like Trent Dennis-Laine needs matches to keep his touch

    If this is correct,it would solve the problem and give them practise at as close to the highest level you can get.

    My understanding was that, commencing last season, players above the listed-player quota would be leant out to other ACTAFL teams to ensure they still got a match. It never came into operation in 2009 because for most of the season the club struggled to have even a dozen or so listed players available for the reserves team.

    They get good junior players from Sydney based clubs generally to play.
    Swannies for life!
