    We may well find out as early as next week whether Foote has indeed improved his skills to senior level :-(

    We might, given the doubt over Kennedy, but I wasn't as impressed by Foote as some others, not in the context of a potential senior recall. He was a very good contributor to the win but made a few "unforced errors" - the kind that get punished far more at senior level than they do at NEAFL level. I also think, given his injury interruptions, he needs more of a solid block of games at reserves level before coming into consideration.

    That said, if Kennedy isn't available, there's not an obvious alternative to come into the team. My fear is that they'll pick Jack, given his knee injury wasn't that bad and early in the week they thought he might be available against the Roos. I hope they don't, but rather rest him to give him a chance to overcome whatever else has been ailing him (probably the persistent hip problem). But other than completely changing the structure of the team and giving Cameron a well deserved debut, there aren't many options to cover Kennedy.

    Maybe Dawson gets a run.Rotate with him, Papley and Heeney through midfield and forward line. Agree re Jack - rest him and Hanneberry for a fair amount of time. We looked a lot sharper and quicker.

    A replay of last weeks against NT Thunder will be shown on NITV tomorrow night (9.30pm I think)

    Pink injured again!

    And no Rose? After seeing him as the runner last week I thought he might be ready to return to playing this week.

    Barling will be playing, so that means one of the 4 emergencies will be 'rested'. Surely can't be Rohan, he needs a run, probably not Reg either so either Robinson or Towers.

    You could make a strong argument that the Suns NEAFL side could beat their seniors at the moment.

    Yeah, not withstanding the Swans’ excellent NEAFL form, the Suns really should win this. Most of the Swans’ prime movers- Cameron, Fox, Newman, COR, AA- will be playing in the senior team.
