Mclaren has cut his hair. Makes him look like LRT at certain angles
What positions were Newman and Jones playing in?
I'm pretty sure opposition scouts look far deeper than a 'bests' list.
I think it would be more to do with Marsh having a very specific role in any given week and achieving the goal, hence the coaches putting him in the best.
We should all know by now just how little the Swans coaching staff care for disposal numbers.

Does anyone have any insight on Newman's one-on-one ability? He's obviously a great user of the footy but can he lock down on an opponent or could he be exposed?
We've got a good history of left-footed rookie defenders in Smith and Rampe...as well as Laidler being a DFA.
Um...McLaren 198, 98Kg. Long, yes, but not his hair anymore since the first few games. I like "Bam Bam" for Parker.
Just a few pics I took yesterday - pretty ordinary quality as they were taken on my phone.

Really strong contested grab from Abe Davis towards the end of the game.

X Richards was promoted off the rookie list last year and given a 2 year contract.
With the aging tall backs - I think the coverage is required.
Why is NEAFL video footage only available for some games? Surely there is video footage of the other games because sometimes we see snippets of it on the Swans website. Besides don't the coaches need it for reviewing the games and deciding whether someone is worthy of bumping up to seniors? Why isn't it published?
If the game is televised by the NEAFL then it will be on their YouTube channel. They usually show 2-3 games per round
Otherwise it's the Swans who take the footage and as you can imagine wouldn't want opposition scouts and analysts getting their hands on the full game vision.
Thanks for that, Ugg. While I get the logic, I didn't realise the marginal strategic benefits of suppressing the footage of some reserves games would outweigh the marginal promotional benefits of making them available. A bit disappointing from the fans perspective given that opposition always have the option of sending a scout (albeit a costly option). At least we have you as our 'scout'. :-)
