[Blood Fever]

Might be this week depending on Fox's fitness.

From the Swans website

'Youngster Caleb Mitchell, who captained the side for the day, also slotted a goal from 10 marks, as well as finishing with team-highs in disposals (30) and clearances (nine)'

Looking forward to a senior debut this year for Caleb who also has high endurance, which is always a good trait in the modern game

Watched the first qtr and liked the look of Mitchell inside. If he was a bit taller he'd remind me of Dawson, who moved inside in the reserves before being given well overdue senior games before he left us in his prime.... I hope we don't wait too long when Mitchell is ready to give him games. Looks promising so far!

Naming Mitchell as captain over say Reid, says a lot about how the club sees him. Hope he gets a senior call up soon.

I think he is definitely a player of the future. I hope he gets a go at AFL level before the end of the year. Just looked at the latest injury list and there is no mention of Jack Buller. He did not play in the VFL last week. Does anyone know what is happening?

The team is out for Sunday's game against Richmond. Adams is named, but is likely to play a limited amount of game time. Indhi Kirk has recovered from his appendix op and also comes into the side. He did quite well in a couple of VFL appearances last season, so hopefully he can keep developing. Strangely, neither Wicks or Hamling are in the side.

B: W. Edwards (28), Ham. Morrison (62), P. Snell (41)
HB: C. Vickery (25), S. Reid (20), M. Geddes (61)
C: W. Kelly (49), C. Cleary (33), I. Kirk (31)

I saw Buller lynching on the couch at training VIDEO when the Mitchell AFL promotion was announced. So if he was suspended because of disciplinary issues he would not be at the training session. I am totally confused why the 3 of them are not playing AFL??I MEANT VFL.

SEN has reported that Wicks isn’t playing football for Sydney at any level this week after a dispute with a teammate boiled over.

I haven't posted a link before using Tapatalk so I hope this works.

Swans move quickly to diffuse tense situation between teammates

Doesn't give much details, but I'm not sure that I really want to know. Hopefully it doesn't escalate further and this is the last that we hear of any bad blood.
But hey, at least he's no longer suspected of failing a drug test.

Longmire has said Adams is only playing a half of footy this weekend.

Yeah look this sort of thing happens more often than we are told and very surprised it made the media, maybe intentional so people didn’t point to drugs
