    Something interesting is that at least one Swan draftee finished in the top 10 in every draft combine category last year, with usually more than one in the rankings.

    Warner is no slouch. You may find he's got a bit of flash. He finished 6th in the Agility Run, ahead of Stephens who was 10th, but behind Elijah Taylor, who came in 2nd. And Warner finished 4th in the Yo-Yo test; no other Swan finished in the top 10.

    Stephens is quick and has endurance as well. He finished 10th in both the agility and sprint tests, and 3rd in the time trial.

    I'm sure Warner has some tricks up his sleeve, as Parker does. But his highlights reel didn't consist of anything besides tackling and a few contested hard ball wins. This is also no doubt what he is in the team for. So I'm not expecting much beyond that, nor does he have to do anything beyond that. Very excited to see he and Stephens combining with our other young midfielders.

    Not expecting a favourable result though.

    I believe this sets a new record for inclusions with hyphenated names. Could be historic game.

    It's probably just a coincidence, but I had Egg Molesse with Tahouli for lunch today.

    Is there a message in the extended bench?

  7. #115
    Fox to ruck and Alliir in defence?

    Sheesh has a team ever had so many injuries to almost exclusively tall players?

    Only change will be Stephens and Warner for Melican and Ronke. Thank goodness Hayward seems safe.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    Going to be very wet so lucky we're not a tall side. Reckon Warner will love it given he's got pace and loves a tackle, good day for it!

    Haha! I wouldn’t quite put it that way, but I understand your point.

    the style of footy that the AFL has at the moment probably lends itself to tackling machines like Warner

    Will be interesting - but I suspect we see him tagging and learning as per most introductions to Snr footy

    welcome Mad Dog Warner
