Mellington will play ruck, still has a bit to learn but has great leap and strong skills. Only seen him in last years interleague and a couple of united scratch matches. I think he played a couple on permit last year. Word is that he is a hmore then handy player. O'dwyer will be a strong player in this comp, he has strength aggression and skills. Most likely to play through the midfield or down forward. Donovan I have heard is a consistent and reliable player without being a star. All three should adapt to the speed of GV ok and be handy players.

Looks as there are some clearences coming through now

Interested to hear on some of the names in which the Shepparton Bears and Shepparton Swans have picked

And what sort of players they are?

Also know of any upcoming practice matches involving 3rds teams?

Champ check out earlier pages on this topic. There has been plenty written. Can tell you that the Swans will add another very strong player to their lists now that the cricket will be over tomoz.

Stanhope competition next week has United pitted against the Swans.

Yer I thought it was a good game but shouldn't read too much into it. Obviously Swans will be a lot stronger then last year and United still has some more to come in. Coach at United is only interested in the night series as practice match and has planned for the boys to be clicking round 1. I thought a lot of players game in and out of the game. Preece showed enough to suggest that he will be a quality player whilst Trelly will also improve. Overall in my opinion United will account for Swans in the season proper. Swans have a lot to look forward to and will win the fair share of games but may struggle against the Echuca's, Mooroopna's and Tatura's. i was impressed with the games of Freezer, Warren, Muggleton and Mellington.

The game was a good hit out for both sides with numerous players from both sides playing out of position. Practice matches are just that and coaches do use them to experiment. Players from both side showed enough to suggest both will be more than competitive. United probably have a little bit more height than the Swans and they maybe just a little stronger in body at this stage. Both clubs can look forward to a good season.:cool:

Durwood might also get a crack. Is Poppa ok, I heard he injured a shoulder or collar bone and might miss a month or so? Buffa will probably play a lot of bushies this year given their lack of height.

thats hardly a surprise they did it all of last year to try and get a premiership because their seniors werent going anywhere. probably do they same this year..
although iv been told the younger boys would rather be playing ones uder sera this year rather than play 3rds because his such a good coach and all the boys love him after playin 3rds under him.. so maybe after they qualify everyone for finals they'l start putting the better players up to 1s

where'd u hear that from? thats just whack.. round one tat have 7 of their top players not playing.. due to bushies and seniors.. so dont say stuff u dont know mate
 
the swans 18s seem to have notre div 1 from 2007... this should make them a serious contender for 2009.. but keeping in mind they will prob lose finnen and preece to bushies.
