VFL Games 2026

[rickmat]

For our VFL side to win so convincingly and it seems with great spirit, it's a true indication of how all the Swans playing group are feeling - the club is bigger than the individual. Great to see Phillipouh kick a bag showing the promise our talent spotters had hoped for. I'm really worried about Rosas as he hasn't shown much over the last month even in the VFL, today was a good opportunity but sadly hardly a touch. But great to see Bowman show some real go and contribute significantly as did Snell. And then Riak even kicked a goal so must have been sent forward. Well done to Coach Nick and all the VFL boys, even the top ups, a great win

Plenty of spirit being shown by our boys!!

Great to see at any time but especially after the week we've had.

GO BLOODS!!

Yes, about ten minutes into that quarter, Frankston started to look totally rattled. Which I think demonstrated how good our pressure has been.

59 points in front. We have to be home!

[Sandridge]

C'mon Bloods!!

Bring it home!!

We need some good news and, should we win, our next game will be in Melbourne and I can go!!!

Fantastic first quarter by the Swans. The way they mobbed Warner after his goal shows they know this must have been a particularly tough week for him.

The most impressive stanza for me was the sequence of tackles laid just outside our forward 50 towards the very end of that first quarter, even though it didn't result in a major score.

Yes, I've been loving the tackling pressure.

Excellent effort to increase our lead, after Frankston looked to be making a comeback. I'm enjoying Frankston players being set upon, pretty well every time they get the ball.

Warner looks very motivated. Sutton has been excellent. Harrison looks to be enjoying his chance as an inside mid. Giacometti has had some nice touches. Bowman and Snell have been pretty assured in defence. Actually, everyone has done some good things.

And another strong quarter, albeit the game feels quite balanced around the ground.

Sutton has had a mightily impressive first half, and that's before taking into account his four goals.

In sydney . Will we have a tema with the Incident in Melbourne .

Yes. We will have top ups if we don't have enough listed players, like every other week.

It may not be a very good team, but alas such is life.

Who knows, buddy. We are threadbare at best so let’s hope the “mess” gets cleared up very soon and none of our seniors get suspended.
Wondering about McLean’s fitness?

We host a wildcard final against Frankston. Not sure where and when. If we win that, we then travel to play an elimination final against Port Melbourne.
