So Freo have a gallery of photos of the scrimmage match up already. Why haven't the Swans? Hard to tell from Freo photos, but I hope Travis Colyer wasn't beating Matt Ling, or Bailey Banfield beating Kaiden Brand.
 
Harley Bennell finally in the red and white :cool:

Alright, this feels weird.

It is like two under 8's teams turning up and one team not having enough players so the other team lends them a player or two.
Reminds me of the time when the ressies were playing in the AFL Canberra league and the worst team in the comp by a long way were the Canberra Wildcats (formerly Weston Creek). So instead of playing the match and winning by 250 points (no exaggeration) the Swans decided to forfeit the 4 points, mix the teams so they could get in some competitive matchplay.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't our last 3 irish players Kennelly, Walsh, and O'Riordan? Walsh was originally picked up by St Kilda and then traded to us, kicked a couple of goals early on and then didn't he do some career ending injury to his leg? Injuries happen sometimes unfortunately. I'd say COR is shaping up as a success. There are no guarantees when it comes to player development obviously, but he looks like he's on the right track. So 1 win, 1 felled by injury, 1 on the way, with O'Connor still to come. I'm pretty happy with that.

Missed this one.
I like O'Riordan and hope he makes it, but Kennelly is still the only success and he started out 20 years ago. Seems generous to assess that as a good record.
Walsh I think was just ordinary. He returned to the Irish game.

There are a few others that didnt make it

Declan OMahoney in 2002.
Brendan Murphy 2007
Kyle Coney 2008
Chrissy Mckaigue 2009

I think thats it

Under 8s?!?

This happened with me playing footy right through until under 17/18 level when I was younger.

By the way, it’s been happening a fair bit during these scrimmages (making up numbers).

Kennelly had a better grounding playing VFL . I saw his first game at Port and went wow when he blind turned around 2 Bombers. It was a wet day , but he stood out.
