Round 17: Sydney Swans Reserves v UWS Giants

[wolftone57]

You suggesting he was trying to out tank the tankers?

got no idea what he was doing they don't need to tank. Anyway enough of tanks we are not diving. Great to see that rooster finally gets to have a run on the SCG again. I bet he can't wait. I will be there giving him a huge cheer when he comes on.

So with Jesse not in the squad and neither of Levi Sands or Wills Brassil who have filled in as topup ruckmen in the team as well, looks like we'll be conceding a big advantage in the ruck. Head, Weir, Brown and Richards are the likely candidates to fill in.

[Bloody Hell]

Stacks of talent in the UWS side, noted there are ND picks - two x 3, 5, 9, 10, 12. We hardly have anyone under a pick 12 on our whole list!

I like others am a bit mystified about the changes GWS make each week other than to think it's a strict rotation policy to get experience into the whole squad.

It's a sure way to ensure they lose games. Nothing like having a continually unsettled lineup to ensure failure. I suggest it will stop next year.

I'm puzzled that Harry wasn't listed amongst the best players I thought he was good today.

I am glad to hear you say that as I think he might be called on shortly.

Is Armstrong going ok in the two's?

Despite the scoreline, I thought many of our players were quite reasonable. It was the sheer weight of numbers - listed AFL players versus top ups that meant the Swans were never really in the game. Towers continued his lively and dangerous form up forward, and I agree that Harry was good too.

[Primmy]

Exactly what liz said. Just the sheer size of the UWS against the school boy toppies boded ill in the long run. That's why Tony, Towers, occasionally Head, and definitely Perris and Gazz stood out.

On Perris. Saw him organising things out there. I would say he is a natural leader and knew what he was going. Think we should keep him.

Highlight was seeing Shaw in runners gear coming onto the ground to highfive Gazz - he is moving like he should, elbows back, flat run. Or is he is a natural coach and we won't get him back in the team for the reason that he is a natural coach ??????? Not saying, just saying...

But it was a game of 22 against about 10, plus 12 who tried hard.

Is Armstrong going ok in the two's?

In a word "No"

[Nico]

Promote Lloyd if possible and put him to replace McGlynn.

Where are Armstrong, Brown, Lockyer and Biggs in the best players. These four should be playing for their footballing future and Biggs aside seem not to figure in the reserves best players. Biggs will probably be unfortunate as there are probably four rookies to be elevated to the Senior List ahead of him next year and it would be fairly unprecedented to elevate five rookies.

Actually Biggs has been mentioned quite frequently lately after a quiet start to the year.
