Academy: Swans to face arch rival - sydneyswans.com.au
As noted in the NEAFL thread, our academy U18 team plays tomorrow morning, kicking off at 11am, and will be streamed via the NAB League app (and for nufities like me, via YouTube too).
In contrast to my observation in the NEAFL thread (and an earlier piece written by the Swans), the U16 game is now listed as starting at 2pm, not 12pm, meaning we won't get to see multi-ball in action.
The article to which I have provided a link reports that Gulden will be missing from tomorrow's side with "soreness" (aka leather poisoning from last week?) But the forward line might be more structured with the addition of a genuine tall forward in Ellem. I remember him making his NEAFL debut a couple of years back. He is (or at least was) a huge lump of a boy but has surprising footspeed to go with his size.
Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing how Hamish Ellem goes. I thought he did some good things last year in the NEAFL, as a sixteen year old. He's now listed as 194cm, which might be a cm or two taller than last season? It would be nice if he developed into another academy key position draftee.
Loving this new NAB League and the live streams. Our Academy side has looked really impressive! Ellem and young Campbell a couple of goals in the 3rd quater and we've blown GWS away even though they are supposed to have more highly rated top end talent in their draft year this year.
I think we might get a few surprises who shine and become highly rated and possibly some boys drafted out of this team by the end of the year.
