Analysis 2020 List, Game Plan and Best 22?

[mtooler]

0 draftees line up round 1 for us.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Rampe McCartin Mills
Dawson Aliir Lloyd
Florent Kennedy Blakey
Heeney Reid Hayward
Franklin Sinclair Papley
Naismith Parker Hewett

Rowbottom Cunningham ............

Fighting for 2 spots are a shitload of players.

 

[Kiama Chris]

0 draftees line up round 1 for us.

Look forward to getting a look at them in the Swans system in the preseason.
Stephens upgrade on Florent
Gould upgrade on Thurlow and COR
The other two need a bit more work I think. Match Committe will have plenty to think about if players stay healthy.

[caesar88]

0 draftees line up round 1 for us.

If so then who cares? Would mean we have experienced depth stopping us from relying on an 18 year old.

Our team doesn’t need to get any younger.

 

[RobbieK]

Stephens upgrade on Florent

This slight on Florent will not age well.

 

[SSwans2011]

Only happened twice in the last decade.

2014 and 2017.

Only 2014 actually. Florent debuted in round 1 of 2017.

 

[Kiama Chris]

This slight on Florent will not age well.

We shall see.

 

[RUNVS]

Of the players we drafted I think Gould is most ready to play in round 1. Physically he is already very well developed and just needs a preseason to trim down a bit and build his fitness base.

 

[Punts]

Both Stephens and Gould have played senior footy

spots in our best 22 for them easy

both show something on n the track and pre season games and imo both play r1

 

[Punts]

Gould and Stephens have far more talent than a Clarke, COR etc and will get games before then imo

 

[Punts]

Foot is another one imo that will push his case early on

The weird thing is every year we create a best 22 and it is really tough to do so, with a heap of players that probably should be in the team missing out and we all get excited by our amazing depth.

Then come round 12, a lot of us are wondering who we can bring into the team as our team is performing badly and we don't have anyone to replace the worst offenders.

It isn't weird at all, everyone is a good option when they don't need to actually play

 

[RUNVS]

Every year we're performing badly by round 12?

Every year we are playing underperforming players because we don't have anyone better to replace them with.

Florent is awesome

I'm a like for like replacement of Franklin, right up until I set foot on the field.

 

[SGBeach]

yep, its all so exciting at the moment.. we definitely make the finals next year ?????
In all seriousness, I do reckon our depth has improved a lot this draft / trade period
- The 4 retirees didn't play last year (only a handful of games), and were replaced by three in the trade period who can play next year. +3
- All the young crew are a year older and more able to contribute as at least a depth / fringe player. + a few
- drafted Dylan Stephens and Will Gould who could if needed play senior footy next year. +2
- Naismith, Ling, Mailbaum are back from entire season injuries. +3
- nearly all (if not all) the players are on track to be in full training in January
So there's an extra 10 or so players to add to our depth.

 

[SGBeach]

I count 37 players on our senior list which includes 4 x draftees & 3 x trades. We need between 38 and 40.
Anyone have an idea of any rookie upgrades?
Anyone know of any Rookie spots left for the academy kids or all those guys training with the Swan at the moment??

 

[The King!]

do we have one a grader right now ? id say no unfortunately

lots of promise and possibles but

 

[The King!]

Gould and Stephens have far more talent than a Clarke, COR etc and will get games before then imo

Clarke should go rot in the neafl
