Aliir's done okay in the ruck but shown nothing to suggest he would be a viable key forward.

I don't know about the rest of the RWOers but I am really getting sick of seeing all these young key position forward types that look really impressive, move well and can take a decent mark BUT when it comes to the most crucial skill, kicking and converting in front of goal, they are a 50/50 chance or worse!

This is how you win games! Kicking goals! And it seems once again two young draftees of ours are all at seas once they are lining up in front of the big sticks (I'm sure I don't need to explain who I'm talking about).

It boggles my mind that so many of these kids today coming into the AFL struggle with this skill. It should be the bread and butter of all key forwards coming through the junior ranks in practicing and perfecting the art of goal kicking!

I just don't get it!!!

Aliir now trying his hand as a ruck-rover

Cameron has improved as the game has gone on.

Rose reported for striking according to the stream.

I think you were a little harsh on him in the first half. He's been solid all game

Yeah you are probably right. I was more looking at his ruck work but he has taken a lot of marks and kicked 2 I think.

Missing some gettable chances here.

5.13 sums it up for the Swans - bloody horrible kicking for goal.

Been like that all game - we have done well given the overall lack of listed players and 'top up top ups'. But we could easily be winning with better kicking. GCS have wasted opportunities too however.
