with pick 39 at the 2019 AFL Draft, they secured a youngster with an insatiable appetite for the contest. Warner attacks the ball and opponents with aggression and is relishing calling midfield bulls Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker

[Ticky009]

yeah, but it's not like warner is the only player opposition teams will need to shut down ...

Oh absolutely not. But he's going to start to come in for some attention sooner rather than later.

i agree ...
it's an example of the difficulty opposition coaches are going to have over the next few years working out which of our rising stars they'll want to clamp down on ... can't stop em all

Nice stat on the week's episode of On The Couch

35% of the time Chad Warner touches the ball, the Swans score (2nd in the AFL).

Did they say who was number 1?

 

[rustycrate]

Did they say who was number 1?

Nope

 

[WillHayward]

Going to be real interesting to see how he deals with a hard tag. I'm sure that's going to be on the horizon shortly.

Is a hard tag still a thing?

Will come back but not a thing at the moment.

 

[Ticky009]

Will come back but not a thing at the moment.

If not the hard tag then someone being sent to him (someone like a George Hewett) to minimise his damage.

 

[SM]

Did they say who was number 1?

At a guess Petracca or Oliver.

 

[Millky95]

Bit of a dodgy first half

Better 2nd half

And gets this to show for it

 

[BarneyBent]

Absolute mare in the first half. Bounced back and was one of our best in the second. That's what good players do.

Love the way these young guys can dig deep and find something. Character.

 

[Superstar swan]

Up and down game for chad today but he got it working in the end. Two nice polished finishes at goal

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Abysmal first half but credit to him as a 20yr old player found his groove in the 2nd!

 

[CheapCharlie]

Terrific rebound from Warner.
Looked to be half asleep the first quarter.
Came back strong and hard
kudos

GOAT

I've never seen Rampe blame someone in a game. Deserved. Bit of a rev up.

 

[Kiama Chris]

I have. Campbell got pinged for a badly disguised deliberate OOB right in front of me early last year. He was distraught. Rampe death stared him. The other defenders took their lead from Rampe. Only Cunningham consoled him. Wasn't impressed.

Hehe. That was a death stare. This was words.
Enough said. I'm sure Rampe would be the best teammate to have in defence.

 

[BloodySwan]

This kid keeps getting better and better.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Copped a (deserved) gobful from Rampe & responded very well.

Shows he has character.

Impressive.

 

[Punts]

Still had 24 amd 2 goals

That’s a Florent best game

 

[mtooler]

He channelled his inner Mcveigh there, was pointing all over the shop.

 

[SeanM]

Easily best 22 but I think he is still developing as a midfielder. Even against West Coast I felt he had good and bad moments. Early in that game there were a few attacking sequences that broke down.

I think sometimes we forget he is just starting his 2nd season as a regular AFL midfielder.

One of the things that impresses me about the Chad is that despite his clearly excitable nature he is able to really calm down to spot a target, deliver or receive a hand pass, or steady and kick a goal. Ice in his veins while going 100mph. So many young players twitch at these moments - he rarely, if ever, does.

yeah, for sure ... and mcinerney very similar
they're both so composed and assured when they get possession, yet they seem like wild kids in the way they attack the game ...
gotta be a great sign for the future, give em a few years to really get the hang of it
