Halftime
@CanberraDemons 2.10 (22) @swansreserves 5.8 (38)
Goals: Rowbottom 2 Bell Fox Ronke
Canberra:Carr Faul
Also interesting that it comes at a time when there's an article on the AFL website that he is likely to request a trade at the end of the season: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-...-trade-options
I wonder why he's in demand from other clubs, but apparently not in demand by the Swans?
Well, if you had to choose a quarter of football, to showcase our game to a newcomer, nobody would choose that one. For most of it, we were missing targets and Canberra were missing the goals. I kept on checking the trees, to see if there was a swirling and gusting gale force wind, but no, it seemed pretty calm.
However, Rowbottom kicked a couple late to extend our lead. He was also probably best on ground. Of the senior players, I think that only Fox is making any real case for promotion. Thurlow has had plenty of it, but has been a bit wasteful. Stoddart, as usual, is taking the game on, but turning it over, more than usual.
3 q time
Swans 9.13 (67) Demons 5.12 (42)
Rowbottom has 3, Ronke 2 goals
A bit better in that quarter, without reaching any great heights. Rowbottom and Fox consolidating their status as our best performers. The highlight of that quarter, was a lovely bit of ruck roving in the forward pocket by Rowbottom, with a snap across his body for a goal.
Full time! Swans hang on for a 8 point victory!
@CanberraDemons 11.13 (79) @swansreserves 12.15 (87)
Goals: Rowbottom 3 Ronke 2 McLean 2 Fox Jack Bell Rayner Barling
Canberra: Faul 4 Carr 3 Bruce 2 Richardson Powell
Quite a scrappy win. Rowbottom and Fox our best. Thurlow had a pretty good quarter. Jack and Ronke busy, without really making a case for promotion.
