[bedford]

Can't remember Mummy and Nankervis match up. Must have happened. Heavyweight bout.

What i mean is that we had 1 in Nank and Horse dropped him

 

[bedford]

That's one way of looking at it.

In his 'other' debut game, according to many here at the time, he single-handedly turned a 5-goal QT lead to a 4-goal home defeat by the lowly Suns.

That year, his second, he managed to average 34 HO, 19 disposals, and a goal which, if Green was giving us, we'd be doing backflips.

"We were caught in a hard place", by our own doing. Our key forwards were Buddy and Reid, along with "the next big thing, TMac" (how'd that turn out?) and our ruck division consisted of Sinclair and a twice-ACLed Naismith.

Nearing the end of '19, with Naismith missing a second straight season, and Sinclair and Cameron both injured, we resorted to using 1st-year player McLean, who'd shown little as a ruck in the twos, Reid and Aliir.

That was enough to convince the Swans' braintrusts, a spindly young kid that had suffered a couple of injuries since graduating to senior football, wasn't worth another contract.

Cameron has since managed 94 games across 5 seasons, competing at times with Mason Cox and Grundy for game time.

Really only one way to look at it... our list managers f*cked up big time.

Sad that i agree

 

[Nool Carpenna]

Sad that i agree

Don't be sad.

I had the benefit of watching Darcy out at Blacktown every second week.

Maybe the braintrusts only saw the Freo game you mention.

 

[McGowan3]

True. He preferred Naismith who was very good when fit e.g. 2016 PF but that was few and far between. Nankervis played in 2016 semi v Crows but Tippett replaced Nank in PF.

And that was a massive stuff up , Tippett was soft as and coming back from a broken jaw

Good info , i like you like that

Can't remember if we lost Mumford because of Tippett coming in. Think it was because of Buddy?

Thought Sheather was pretty impressive the other night.
Seems to have matured quite a bit from the raw, bull-at-a-gate prospect he was with us.
Covered the ground well and got into good positions to provide relief when needed. And, where we might have expected him to assert a physical presence in the middle, just went about the business of winning the ball at stoppage.

Would I be correct in saying that Sheather is a VFL listed player at GWS,not AFL.

Yes

 

[Kbroome]

That's one way of looking at it.

In his 'other' debut game, according to many here at the time, he single-handedly turned a 5-goal QT lead to a 4-goal home defeat by the lowly Suns.

That year, his second, he managed to average 34 HO, 19 disposals, and a goal which, if Green was giving us, we'd be doing backflips.

"We were caught in a hard place", by our own doing. Our key forwards were Buddy and Reid, along with "the next big thing, TMac" (how'd that turn out?) and our ruck division consisted of Sinclair and a twice-ACLed Naismith.

Nearing the end of '19, with Naismith missing a second straight season, and Sinclair and Cameron both injured, we resorted to using 1st-year player McLean, who'd shown little as a ruck in the twos, Reid and Aliir.

That was enough to convince the Swans' braintrusts, a spindly young kid that had suffered a couple of injuries since graduating to senior football, wasn't worth another contract.

Cameron has since managed 94 games across 5 seasons, competing at times with Mason Cox and Grundy for game time.

Really only one way to look at it... our list managers f*cked up big time.

Cameron delisting was a mistake, however he isn't really comparable to Green imo as he has 3 years of physical development compared to Green as he was drafted at 21 years old not 18. Therefore he basically became debutable at season 5 which is almost in line with the TDK development and other rucks that debut later in their careers and not straight away

Crayfish seems like a top guy and was rated as a top tap ruck but lacked the more important qualities of mobility and being able to execute basic skills. Our perseverance with him lead to the departure of Nank and Cameron which then lead to us needing to trade Aliir so we could get Hickey. What a stuff up...........

Too much execution going on
Naismith just couldn't mark

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

There is so much talent in GWS reserves its annoying they end up at Collingwood or Carlton for chump change.

Then having to recruit Grundy on a massive salary just to have a competent ruck in the side(not saying he hasnt been worth it) but still that 900k could of been used to fill other gaps.

Not to mention in a season or two we will be back looking for a ruck if Green doesnt come on.

Fair call. Admit I'd forgotten Darcy was a late starter, so to imply a comparison with Green isn't reasonable.

As you say, it was still a f*ck up, especially with our list the way it was. I guess they were hopeful that one of McLean and Amartey might develop. 7 seasons later...

I dont even remember how many games did we give Cameron?

 

[Nool Carpenna]

One

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Oof

Cameron currently is one of the best ruckman in the league.

Back to this thread,more importantly do we know who is" or" not playing in the reserves tomorrow? Looking for the names Adams and Mills.

You will when the team is announced . Nothing on the VFL app and i highly recommend it , a good app

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Cox confirmed in team selection video Adams will play VFL

Needed to in reality get some footy into his legs where it isn't going to directly ruin the season if he breaks down again in the twos
