    From a list management perspective, agree that Thorne is probably the pick of them but his chances will have been hurt by Gulden who is pretty much the same type of player but better. Unless they are looking for two small endurance midfielders he will find it difficult to be picked up by the swans.
    Plus Wicks who is now in his second year on the list as cat B rookie. He was an NDS player who was overlooked in the draft and never got selected for allies.

    James Bell. Swans Academy product James Bell signed with the Swans in the 2017 Rookie Draft and fares as an exciting prospect this season. He is a speedy midfielder who will again be key to the Swans’ NEAFL side and should continue to come a long way in training alongside elite on-ballers Josh Kennedy and Dan Hannebery.

    I know these are only 2019 bio's but this has to be 2018 bio for Bell. We also still have Nick Smith on our list! Is it too hard for someone to proof read some of this rubbish they put up.

    I was told tonight that all Sydney Uni practice games this weekend are off

    Can anyone confirm if the practice match is on, and if so, is there a live stream?

    How good is this GWS report of today's scratch match (objectively and for GWS fans)?

    Strong Hit-Out Against Swans

    Bonus photo of Ben Ronke's back.

    I like how they gave an update on each of their players.

    Here is the update on the Swans players. The Swans' public relations staff were all sacked, so I'm filling in. No Complaining. I'm doing the best I can on limited resouirces.

    Riley Stoddart
    “He just continued his strong development off half-back. He put together a great pre-season and had a good eight weeks off and it’s another positive step to push towards AFL at some stage this year.”
    Chad Warner
    “He was strong inside, he just keeps getting better and better inside the contest. He was strong, tackled well and his hands were clean.”
    James Bell
    “It was good to get a full game into him and get him to show what we know he’s capable of. He played a great role on the wing as the most senior bloke in the midfield. He was able to provide good leadership and direction and get his hands on it himself and use it as we know he can.”
    Chad Warner
    “He responded well after missing out on senior selection this week. He took up a bit of a leadership role in the midfield early. He attacks the ball, always. He’s a strong tackler and is able to get forward as well. He’s running as well as he ever has which is a benefit of the eight weeks off.”
    Ben Ronke
    “Another one that fought back through being dropped and came with the right mindset. We know what we get with Zac week-in, week-out and he proved again why he’s an AFL calibre player.”
    Ryan Clarke
    “‘Ryan’ was rock-solid and continues to show why we trust him. He’ll be pressing his case in the next few weeks.”
    Matt Ling
    “He played a lot of footy for us last year and continues to be a model of consistency and he’s ready to go when called upon.”
    Jake Riccardi
    “‘ He had about seven or eight shots on goal, and is a developing key forward that is benefiting from a good pre-season and a good eight-weeks off. If you can run as a key forward, you can create opportunities. You’d love to be playing in the midfield because every time you look up he’s coming straight at you.”
    Jackson Thurlow
    “He worked hard all day and got some benefit on the scoreboard. He’s another one who has continued to take a step after getting a taste AFL last year. He’s booming along and ready when called upon.”
    James Rose
    “He started slowly in the first five minutes but when he lifted, we lifted. They kicked three of the first four but he took it upon himself at the centre bounce to really lift and his follow-up around the ground was outstanding. It was great to have a big man that can join in as well as provide a contest and give our mids first-use, he just got better and better as the game went on.”
    Tom Derickx
    “It was the best game I’ve seen him play in Swans colours. He has power and speed inside and he was clean. He brought teammates into it and used the footy as well as we could have asked.”
    Harry Reynolds
    “He continues to develop into a really strong wingman for us. He does all the team things, all the one-percenters and fundamentals and he’s starting to reap the rewards on the offensive side of it. Another one that will continue to keep pressing his case as the year goes on.”
    Dylan Stephens
    “He’s probably right there on the brink for AFL selection and he brought that AFL level of intensity and work-rate. He’s benefited from the eight weeks off and is running better than he did in pre-season. If Bobby gets to more contests he has more of an impact because he’s a quality player."
    Barry O'Connor
    “O'Connor continues to develop down back holding up that key defensive post. He was able to play tall and small today. He organised, continues to chop out and help his teammates and is taking another step on his AFL journey.”
    Zak Foot
    “He had an interrupted pre-season and lead-in so he’s benefited from the eight weeks off. He’s come back in and worked well in the back group, he reads it well and can mark it and he’s one that the more footy he plays, he’ll keep pushing to get back in like he did last year.”
    Nathan Buckley
    “He gets better and better every time he plays football. He’s running well, he’s quick, he’s clean and he’s launching at it. His ball use is getting better and better every week.”
