[/USER] Just as a whole, after that second goal of his. No one was particularly close to him when he kicked it but in this day and age, it was unusual that not a single player ran over to him.

Nope, I have been as well. They totally shunned him after his second goal.

Not one teammate went to Wicks after his latest goal, not even the merest of congratulations or high fives or anything of any sort.

Shipley with the 30 metre run-up when kicking for goal from a set shot.

Vickery playing forward. Don't think that's been the case very often?

Wow, I see what people are saying about Snell. Another intercept mark and play on with agility and pace. Looks a natural.

How many? Well, a (Craig) Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

That's a shame. Hopefully nothing major.

Any reviews on how Cochran played today for the AFL Academy team?

Think it will be Fox, Roberts or Jordon as sub this week. Don't think they like having the same player do it two weeks in a row so that will rule out Campbell. Wicks has only played one full game in weeks so doubt it will be him.

Only four of 44 not available this weekend. Mills, Rampe, Reid and Arnold.

17 AFL listed players. A strong looking side. Someone mentioned earlier that Green played down back last week, though not sure if it was for a lot of game time? Sometimes doesn't mean a lot but he is even named down back to start this week.

Good to see no mention of Blakey, Melican or McCartin. I'd guess only five players out of 44 on the injury list would compare pretty favourably in relation to other clubs? Three of them (arguably four?) in the best 23 though.

Do the Swans normally do the injury update on a particular day of the week or it varies? Can't say I've paid enough attention to it.

Five of the 44 listed players not available. Mills Parker Rampe Reid Arnold Not too bad, though three (maybe four) would be best 23.

Strong looking team. 15 of named starting 18 from AFL listed squad plus former AFL listed Will Kelly. One would normally drop out as cover for seniors though. Imagine it would be Cleary. Also AFL listed Green on the bench.

*Richard the 3rd

Wicks as sub for mine. Ladhams, Francis and Cleary to miss out. I know he is only named as an emergency but they must like what Cleary has done so far to put him there over say younger Warner and Mitchell who have been in the senior 22/23 so recently.

Will also be interesting how the lack of dew will impact how the Suns play the SCG, what with it being an early afternoon start.

Had forgotten that in 1982, first season playing full time in Sydney for the club, they were still known as South Melbourne until June that year. From June until the end of the season they were simply known as the Swans. Was only from 1983 onward that the club was known as the Sydney Swans.

Is Caleb one of the younger Warner brothers or they meant to write 'Chad'?

... and just noticed in the line-ups Matt Ling is playing for Norwood. EDIT: and Daryn Cresswell's son Jake for Norwood too

Who's Teaser?

"I've got a girlfriend that's better than that ... "

With Rowbottom signing on for another four seasons, leaves 18 players who have contracts expiring at the end of this 2024 season. Of those, my personal opinion in importance of re-signings: Tier 1: Gulden 2: McDonald, Florent. 3: Melican, Fox, Hayward, Cunningham 4: Francis I don't envisage...

Wicks not even an emergency. Can only assume he is still in the doghouse with Horse and the hierarchy. EDIT: And according to the club website info graphic, there is a debutant playing up forward by the name of Tom Paley. good luck to him in his first game.

Yep, this would be my 23 as well. Rampe, Warner Jr and Mitchell out from last week. Cunningham, Adams and Wicks as the sub in.

Rampe, Mitchell, Warner Jr out. Adams, Cunningham in the 22. Wicks sub.

Rampe out 3 to 4 weeks with a hamstring strain per the club website injury update. Ouch.

General note: 'resign' means to leave, not stay.
