Changes for Rnd 6 V Brisbane.

[Mug Punter]

For some reason I reckon Aliir could lift his game to another level when he's sureounded by quality teammates in the 1s. Not expecting miracles, and he's still pretty raw, but I think he'll do ok.

I'd say that unless he has a shocker he'll get at least a couple of games which will do wonders for his confidence and development. He's only 21 and had a late start to the game so really he's still got plenty of time on his side given he is such a superb athlete. We really do development well at the Swans, I know I bagged his efforts against Southport on the weekend but I'm really excited about him debuting now...

Teddy is listed as 2-3 weeks on the injury list of 21 April, so that gives Aliir a chance to also play the Bombers in round 8 if he does well this weekend.

Four AFL debutants in the first six weeks of a season, wonder when we did that last, the introduction of this new talent really has made the season very exciting to date for me.

I have never been sold on Aliir when I've seen him but that doesn't mean I don't want him to do well. Best for him to get a taste of senior football and sink or swim.

Reckon Davis and O'Riordan are also outside chances for a call up sometime this year

Great story.......good luck Aliir!

Yes, it is a great story.
Go Chand Chand!

I can't wait to Aliir get a run.
He looked very good running round in Coffs earlier in the year. He was all over Tippett.

Tim Schmidt, anyone?

I had forgotten about Schmidt. I always thought he was going to eventually make it. He seemed to have a footy brain but just didn't quite have the skills to make it in the seniors.

Aliir to debut!

Sydney Swans on Twitter: "Longmire confirms Aliir Aliir will make his debut for the club this weekend against Brisbane. https://t.co/a4iJtwqeXf"

All the best Aliir

Who gets rookie or LTI listed then?

Not quite sure what you mean - but we have had two players on LTI list, Rohan, and Alex Johnson who is on the LTI list indefinitely. We have only elevated one rookie (Papley) who has notionally filled Rohan's vacancy. With Rohan's return we still have Johnson's vacancy so I think most of us are expecting that Papley will now be named a rookie elevation to replace Johnson.

He'll be wearing #36 whose last claim to fame was that it was Adam Schneider's original number

According to Horse, Rohan comes off the LTI this week and will be back in the ressies before playing in the seniors.
