Thread: Swans Inter-club Match 2019 v GWS @ Blacktown Fri 22/2 9:30am

  1. #61
    Swans Squad

    1. James Rose - not very clean

    4. Ryan Clarke - only played second half and was ok without being a standout

    6. Jackson Thurlow - didn’t notice jackson much as Rampe, Grundy and Melican tended to dominate......in attack jackson was outplayed by McInerney. I suppose Thurlow will get more outside game time in the next game

    7. Harry Cunningham - very strong game and same as last season drifted between wing and HBF for exits and played very well

    8. James Rowbottom - a reall young warrior quite like Parker at same age......more 2020 I think but he is a goer that is for sure

    9. Will Hayward - Solid

    11. Tom Papley - really mature game from Tom. All class

    13. Oliver Florent - wow Ollie really is quick with his change of pace. Good inside outside game today

    14. Callum Mills - impressed with his midfield time and will be midfield I suspect this season. Depends a little on Thurlow being the player we need off HBF

    17. Darcy Cameron - good game got injured on the knee ?

    21. Jack Maibaum - solid and good closing speed. Played fairly direct and tried to play on. A little forced but gave it a go

    22. Nick Blakey - well he certainly put his hand up for a spot in the 22 for rd1. Classy, athletic, great kicking today

    24. Dane Rampe - super strong

    27. Justin McInerney - a real goer and tough. Nice touch and vision today also. Very exciting prospect for the future and maybe some 2019 snr games

    29. George Hewett - solid as always

    31. Harry Reynolds - limiter time. Tried very hard

    32. James Bell - obviously outside player but needs to find his tenacity and back himself

    33. Ryley Stoddart - same again as bell...... limited time and floated in and out of the game

    34. Jordan Dawson - like blakey will be close to the best 22. Just so confusing where to play Jordan but he has lifted again and must be a 12 snr game plus player in 2019

    38. Colin O’RIORDAN - solid but will struggle to get much snr time vs the other backs available

    39. Heath Grundy - strong game back

    42. Robbie Fox - very adaptable player and can see why we kept him over Robbo or towers

    43. Lewis Melican - good First game back. Solid

    44. Jake Lloyd - picked up where he left off. Critical player for us

    45. Sam Wicks - good pressure. Limited minutes

    47. Toby Pink - gives everything a go......improved a little from last season. Supposedly injured a lot last two years

    A match report mentioned that Mummy dominated Cameron in the ruck. That's a great learning experience for Darcy and I hope it will just motivate him to get better, stronger, more aggressive and learn to use his own size to advantage.
    Cameron only played the first half and Mumford only played the second half so don't see how Mummy dominated Cameron. Mumford dominated ruck in the second half which is one reason why GWS got back into the game but he was up against Pink, Grundy, Dawson and Fox in ruck so not at all surprising.

    Players who are supposedly not injured that we did not sight at all were McVeigh, Foot, Sinclair, Reid, Ronke, McCartin and Amartey. Clarke only played second half and Reynolds had hardly any time at all. There were some academy players named on the team sheet and I saw 53 and 55 on the boundary but I don't think any got on the field.
    Thought the Swans were faster and much cleaner with their passing both by hand and foot than the Giants who muscled their way back into the game in the second half with a ruck dominance. With Naismith not ready, Sinclair MIA and Cameron off for the second half our ruck stocks may be a little light on. Was impressed with Pink in the first half considering where he has come from but badly outpointed by Mumford in the third quarter when tossed into the ruck.
    A lot to like about Florent, Cunningham, Hewett, Papley and Hayward while Mills was very good in finding a team mate. The new boys, Blakey all class, Rowbottom a real goer and McInerney is going to be a star.

    They probably won't all fit into best 22 or all be fit at the same time during the season but at least 13 "best 22" players didn't play today. GWS would be similar I suspect.

    How did the new kick in rule shape up? I'm expecting some teams will do very clever tactics around this to launch right into forward half from a kick in.

    Agree 707

    What we see today is very different when 13 players come back into the team

    But.....it was Nice to see some players shine in roles that we don’t see unless watching Reserves

    I suppose the question for me is what flexibility in football styles will enable us to challenge for the top4 and who can excecute this best

    At the moment players like macca Grundy and jack are solid in decision making but as an example macca can be exposed if resting taller midfielder like a like young Tim Taranto matches up with him for 20mins in a game ie macca can’t contain his speed but a a young McNeirney could.......yet macca would make much better decisions week in week out then say an 18yr old inexperienced HBF

    Will it be this year or next year that we risk a few more players to be finals ready via giving them more Snrs game time

    For us to be more flexible in our game plans I feel that the likes of Dawson, Blakey, Melican etc need to be playing a decent amount of Snrs

    Our exits today off our HBF line looked so different and more open then when macca or Mills have ball in hand

    Our ability today to spread off the back line with run and carry then direct fast balls through the middle opened up GWS and looked impressive and necessary

    We had over lap and run and carry when we needed it and it was dangerous

    In summary the three players below will be very difficult to keep out of our best 22 even if all players are available

    Melican
    Dawson
    Blakey

    Ps we didn’t use the new kick in rule hardly at all

    GWS did with finlayson kicking to the middle of the field with ease but for not much possession gain

    Thanks for comments on the match above. Sounds as if some exciting talent was on show.

    Also seems that Mumford the Thug is back.

    Wasn't at his snorting best though!

    Nice to see McInerney play well. He was a surprise pick which attracted a lot of criticism at the time but looks like a ball magnet. Reminded me a little bit of Lloyds first appearance. Hopefully, he'll develop into a handy player.

    Likewise I thought McInerney was pretty impressive. Rampe very fit and a class above. Mills still a cool head in the midfield and seemed to have time to find his options.

    Some very sloppy disposal from Rose through the game.

    Cameron didn’t play after half time due to a slight injury and Mumford only played the second half. Pity whoever wrote that couldn’t get their facts straight! 🙄

    Tom was good in the first quarter with his insights on our boys......haven't watched the last quarter yet.
