Don't know, they weren't named in the team sheets so might be injured or isolation.

A tall named King has to be good.. as does a kid that goes by the name TJ Speedy (not to mention his blood line)

 

[BarneyBent]

does anyone know why King and TJ Speedy Coe didn't play?
They were two I was keen to watch

King apparently injured. I thought Speedy-Coe played last week but mistook Jordan Endemann in 8 for him (same general look plus mullet) - so he might be injured as well.

Will Edwards and Angus Anderson on our COVID supplementary list.

Will Edwards and Angus Anderson on our COVID supplementary list.

Like the way this has been structured. Majority from Sydney from our VFL plus Academy for home games, 4 each from 2 Vic teams for games in Vic. Too hard to cover SA, WA and Qld I guess.

Thanks so much for this, Rusty. I missed the update on Swans website originally.

I'm updating the Academies page over on the draft board so really appreciate these heads up. Please Keep doing it!!

I totally agree. There's some quality dry QLD humour going full strength during this call.

Better than Dwayne and BT

Bad audio plus yelling. Bad combo

31 suns
21 swans

Messy game.

No real stand outs for swans.

Billy King is a big boy.

 

[Clangers21]

Giacometti the stand out for me. May in the ruck has been solid. Nicholls down back has been clean. Rogers hard at it.

 

[Membling]

40-23 for u17s, swans up.

Cleary has shown good stuff. Cheshire same with 2 goals

 

[Membling]

3qt

Swans 59
Suns 31

Strong quarter. Skills are a bit scratchy and a lot of almost plays

 

[Membling]

Full time
85 swans
57 suns

Take aways:

Less skilled than the gws game and missed a lot of targets. However, look better skillwise than previous years.

Hawkins did not impose himself in the mid as much but was a viable target fwd.

Cheshire in and out but what he does is classy.

Pick of the bunch in Cleary. Gives me clean Parker vibes.

How did Puncher end up? Last I looked he'd just kicked a goal.

Puncher looked good. Can present and be a good link man on the wing.

Faded out a little later in game but very solid

What's wrong with a McCartin Sandwich!?!?!?!

 

[Ticky009]

Keep you're Sunday morning free. Grab a coffee and sit down to watch the young academy lads smash the Lions

Not sure how I feel about this but Dawson defended the Swans Academy on SEN.

How did you know?

Dawson leaving for home is proof why we need the academy. He's a walking example
