QBE Sydney Swans Academy: Hungry to get better
Pfrengle going out injured is a loss, as I thought he was our best in the first game against the Giants. Showed enough as a tall defender, to suggest that he's a decent chance to be drafted. Later in the game, he then went forward and looked to be our most dangerous option. IIRC, Edwards also showed a bit as a KPF. While obviously a bit raw, he seems to have strength, talent and a booming kick. Of the midfielders in that game, I thought that Roseby and Wilson were pretty good: although Wilson is out injured for this game.
Of the inclusions, I recall Puncher doing a few good things as an underager, a couple of years ago. Or maybe it's just the name sticking in my mind? There's also somebody named Jasper Crouch playing. I had a bit of a search, to see if he's related to Jared Crouch, but I couldn't find anything to confirm or deny.
And let's just hope the coverage is a bit better this time. Last time, I gave up halfway through the replay of the U-17s game. This was partly because the muddy picture quality, made it difficult to see which player was doing what. But it was more because, the scores that they showed throughout the games, were constantly and bewilderingly wrong. I just couldn't see how they could get it so relentlessly incorrect. I came up with two main theories. One was that they entrusted the scoring to someone who had no experience of the game, so that every time that a team scored, they just guessed what it might be worth. The other theory was a strange computer glitch, in which, if an operator entered in that a goal was scored, then that goal was randomly assigned a value from 0 to 7. It was genuinely bizarre.
