I'd start him. He'll bring the heat.Call me Mr Conservativebut I am putting the brakes on my expectations of SPP for his first hit out in the real stuff.
The swannies in Sydney is obviously one very tough assignment and it won't surprise me at all if he is on the pine for the first bounce, and isn't injected into the game until after the heat has gone off a tad.
as someone else said, our ins for the outs from our last game, are better than Sydney's 7 ins vs 7 outs from the GF, so that is a positive.
I was there too. The Sydney fans around us were mostly quietly chatting away sipping on their lattes in between squealing like piglets every time Buddy went near the ball. They didn't seem to know or care about anyone else! Reminds me of another group of fans actually...
Was a cracking game. Unfortunately our win record from that game onwards is dead mediocre.
SPP has no fear. I agree. Let him learn and play on season AFL footballers using his instinctive game. He has x factor and sometimes that will provide many negatives but then......it will provide so many highlights. Don't dampen the kids ability. I watch with interest how Voss harnesses his strengths versus teaching him the realities of tough AFL football. Swans perfect place to learn.
Is possible. Playing by ear. I know eddie Dingle and possibly chiwigi will.be there. Eddie dingle is very tall and looks like... well, and ex saints fullback and tigers coach...
