Didn't we plays the Giants' reserves only three weeks ago?

That was just a practice game. We are, however, fixtures to play the other AFL reserves teams in the league more times than other clubs. We barely play any of the other Queensland based sides. Presumably this is what the four AFL clubs want. But it does make the NEAFL competition less of a genuine league and more of a loose structure to give the AFL reserves sides a chance to train their players in match situations.Originally Posted by DeadlyAkkuret
Thanks Liz.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the stream to work? Nothing happening, just goes to a patrician page of old matches
No I think it's not working properly. I tweeted neafl but no reply

From Swans twitter: Swans up at final change 10.5 65 to UWS 6.16 52
An up-and-down final term results in the Swans reserves going down by 8 points at the death. Swans 12.6 78 to UWS 11.20 86
Giants dominated for large patches only to struggle to generate shots at goal. And when they did they were usually profligate with them. Swans capitalised on their chances which kept them ahead on the scoreboard for most of the game. The defence again held up well, even after Richards went off and Tom Boyd was kept quiet. Full marks to Dick, Aliir, Jones and topup Weir
Biggs' work in defence and his kicking was outstanding probably my BOG. Robinson, Lloyd and Perris won their fair share of the ball although delivery to the forwards wasn't that great in general
Nankervis looked pretty good as a FF/relief ruck and has some footy smarts about him. With this kind of role it looks like they're really looking closely at him taking the same spot in the seniors
Towers was really disappointing, hardly touched it in first half (jet lagged?) and while he got more of it in the second failed to have any major impact and didn't look like someone on the fringe of the seniors.
BJ was only marginally better with a few score involvements but was also wasteful with his kicking. I've seem him play much better
Lockyer freed up to play on the wing to match the dangerous, mobile and frankly too-good-for-this-level Tomlinson. Got a lot of the ball and was creative in a few passages
Membrey didn't have to face Plowman this time around and so fared better but overall output was still limited.
Mitchell 1 kick 1 goal. Efficient! Lovely kicking action too seems more natural than Pyke's and boy did the rest of the team celebrate with him
It's hard not to notice Jones' hardness at the ball. Played mainly off half back. Kicking was dodgy - kicked one straight to a Giant for a goal and also messed up a three on one. Hope it's just an aberration and not the norm. Also clumsily collected Lobb in the head with the elbow while the giant ruckman was on his knees and may be suspended for that. His saving grace might be that Lobb was unhurt and got up to take the subsequent kick
Hewett sat out the first quarter but was prominent when he came out. Like a bull terrier he kept going from contest to contest and was very competitive. Kicked a lovely snap after Nanka tapped it down to him from a boundary throwin
Of the topups I've already mentioned Weir and Hiscox was also a great contributor with his three goals and energetic work through the wing and half forward
Disappointing to lose at the end but we should be happy with the effort
@swansreserves: FT @swansreserves 12.6 78 UWS 11.20 86. Hiscox 3 Membrey 2 Nankervis 2 Hewett Jack Lloyd Mitchell McCaffrey
Remind you of anyone?..........Please, not another Bevo.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
thanks for the notes Ugg
Ditto.
Seems a reasonable workout for a squad with a lot of newcomers. Great that Mitxhell got on the scoreboard.
