Round 4: Sydney University v Sydney Swans Reserves

[liz]

Can you complain about lack of wet weather style of plays for the seniors ? Maybe they can learn from the ressies ( although I haven't yet had time to watch the ressies replay. )

Nah, forget that. Can you just complain about the weather?

Lol

Is that best two weeks in a row for Marsh?

To be fair, nominative determinism suggests that he should have played fairly well, given the conditions.

How good was the James Rose 60 metre bomb from the boundary? Kid has a decent leg on him!

Very pleasantly surprised by James' roost. His pre-draft videos seemed to show him miss kicking the ball a lot. I expected that kicking would be his biggest problem but not at all an issue it seems.He also showed some good vision and the ability to deliver a long handball in the game.Also seems to have a good tank. I'm starting to think that he might be the end of the first round curse when he matures a bit and fills out.

Nah Heeney and (hopefully) Jones will be the end of our first round curse! Rose will be a continuation of our second round genius

NEAFL MVP votes

Sydney Swans v Sydney University
8: Harrison Marsh (Sydney)
5: Ben McGlynn (Sydney)
4: Sam Naismith (Sydney)
4: Abe Davis (Sydney)
3: Toby Nankervis (Sydney)
2: Tom Young (Sydney Uni)
2: Matt Rawlinson (Sydney Uni)
1: Lewis Stevenson (Sydney Uni)
1: George Hewett (Sydney)

Only possible vote breakdown:


5 McGlynn, Marsh
4 Naismith, Davis
3 Marsh, Nankervis
2 Young, Rawlinson
1 Hewett, Stevenson

Remember that the coaches jointly give one 5-4-3-2-1 set of votes and the umpires a separate 5-4-3-2-1 set of votes. Given McGlynn didn't make the best players list in the official result, a list which I'm pretty sure is submitted by each team, we can conclude he received 5 votes from the umpires.

[Conor_Dillon]

McGlynn must have been reasonably handy to get the 5 umpire votes you'd think...could be a case of our coaching panel having far higher expectations of him than of the other players.

[Conor_Dillon]

Also in the highlights you tweeted, that Robinson clearance and Hewett side-step/goal was pretty classy football.

Having watched a good portion of the replay you can only assume it was an apology for the amount of frees McGlynn had paid against him.

Stats v Sydney Uni






Robinson with an amazing 15 clearances, and add in 9 tackles, but still not good enough for the best players list or the NEAFL MVP voting.
Newman 10 disposals and a goal in a half of football.
McGlynn started slow with only 6 disposals in the first half but 13 in the second.
Rose a very direct player with 7 inside 50s from only 19 touches.
Hewett with 8 frees for and 5 against, perhaps some sort of record.

Thanks Ugg for the stats. I was wondering why we didn't get the usual ones from the NEAFL website.

I was surprised that Robinson wasn't named in the best. He looked the most composed of the Swans and the most likely to succeed at senior level. I hope he gets a game soon. Jones loves to tackle. Abe Davis looks promising.

I'm glad to see the stats bear out my impressions. Still can't see how Robbo doesn't make the best 6. His 15 clearances is impressive and I've noticed that they are not usually wasteful ones. He tries to find that split second of time to get the ball out to advantage instead of just kicking to no one in particular. And Zak certainly loves to tackle.

I hope these 2 get a senior game soon.

[Conor_Dillon]

Hewett with 8 frees for and 5 against, perhaps some sort of record.

7 rebound 50's is pretty impressive for a midfielder as well...gives the impression that he is a two-way runner which our senior coaches seem to love.

Do any ressies watchers have any comment on how he covers the ground?
