Preview Intra Club Friday 12 February at Henson Park

[RW]

Marrickville's Henson Park will once again be the venue for our first competitive four-quarter match of the summer this Friday after hosting the intra club last year.

First bounce will be at 5pm and the game should finish by 7:30pm. Entry is free and fans are encouraged to use public transport given very limited street parking around Henson.

Most interest will be centred around Buddy's return and how much game time he gets but it will also be an opportunity for several players to push for NAB Challenge selection.

Post your thoughts here, if anyone here is thinking of going, any photos & updates would be appreciated (can't expect grimlock to do all the work!). Also use the hashtag #swansintra if posting to Twitter.

Heard it here first, put your house on it. First swans win for the season. You can thank me later.

I'm interested to see who plays on buddy/tippett..... Curious how Talia will go if given the shot.

To a lesser extent Reid & Sinclair but the above 2 will show more of a backline.

Also interested in Rohans role and the running half backs..

Hope I can finish work Early

 

[Superstar swan]

Im looking forward to see how heeney goes (if he plays), mills, sinclair and rohan

I know I'm not a Swans man, but I'm desperate for footy and live just around the corner, so will head down to watch.

Would be really interested to hear you give some form of report if you're interested? Always good to hear an unbiased view on these types of things.

Good on you Sultan, you'll be able to see what a premiership side looks like

Think you guys will be playing finals this year as well.

I'm hoping there are a few BF'ers there to fully inform us what goes on.

I'll give it a crack. If they aren't best 22, I might struggle to recognise them. Hopefully they wear numbers...

Just don't say the "blonde kid". That pretty much covers our Aryan midfield en masse

Yes they will be wearing numbers. Watch out for our new Irish recruit who has surprised everyone with his progress. I expect him to be influential on the day, he wears number 23 ;-)

Well every club has a recruitment policy. Our policy is drafting midfielders that Hitler would have liked

I disagree, the Germans were known for their high efficiency

 

[Indie_]

Do we know who is playing yet?

 

[mcs095]

They certainly wouldn't like the efficiency of our entries into the forward line....

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Is it "Possibles" v "Probables"?

I never once made the "Probables" team in my career.

 

[Wayne Swan]

Looking forward to the reports, so many players that need to show a bit, even this early. Need a number of fringe players to make the leap into genuine AFL standard and be great to see how far the Irish rookie has come in just three months.

 

[Jeffers]

I'll be there. Probably bring my DSLR again and take some snaps.

Always one of the highlights of off season for me Jeffers. Generally the first real glimpse I get of the playing group for the year & you usually do a really thourough job at a good standard so I'm looking fwd to it as always mate.

[Heeney2Franklin]

Could do with some balancing... guessing the aim is for a easy hitout for teamred.

 

[RainMachine]

Must really rate Mills...

 

[grimlock]

White looks depleted, Mills looks like he will play onball judging by that line up

 

[Millky95]

Chance to see what players on White can do assuming there are injuries or in more key positions

 

[RUNVS]

Team Red is going to kill it. Also why is Talia and X.Richards both on the same team as our key forwards? Shouldn't they be on team white to give them the chance to show what they can do against tough opposition?

Franklin and Tippett would take Richards and Talia apart
