Unofficial Preview Round 7, 2020: Sydney Swans v Gold Coast Suns - SCG

[Punts]

Mcienery should of come in also imo

Hope the kid goes well and shows the talent we have heard of

 

[Punts]

Grey and Taylor lol

 

[TheMase]

Never did I think E Taylor would get a debut this year.
Good on the kid!

So our three debutants from last years draft already. Just need to give Rowles a debut and the slap in the face to our existing untried players from prior years is complete lol

In all seriousness though, it perhaps says to me that a number of players have perhaps had their cards marked.

Not sure why we wouldn't keep McCartin and McLean inside 50 together. They were our targets against North and they worked reasonably well, and that was with Heeney.

The solution to beating Gold Coast is actually easy: Stop Charlie Ballard. He was the difference between a respectable loss to Melbourne last week and a trouncing.

Taylor only has 2 left lol

Given we have 3 defenders on the bench, I’m assuming we’ll keep the strategy of having 64,000 people in the backline yeah?

75,000

I think it is a positive that the three young guys from last week get to play a second week in a row. It consolidates the experience. Rather than having a long gap till their next senior game.

Hopefully they get nicer weather this week.

I want to heart-emoji this and sad-face emoji this.

 

[Punts]

At least we might see Mills in the middle collecting the 3 votes and on his way to the Brownlow

Fantastic that E.Taylor is getting a game.

Just worry that as a young (indigenous?) lad from WA, we’ll end up being forced to trade him to the Eagles or Dockers, Jetta-style.

Here’s hoping he is a gun AND loves living in Sydney.

Maybe, maybe not.

The way I see it any draftee could end up wanting out. Best to take the most talented ones available, back your culture in, and if they end up wanting out down the road, try and capitalise on their talent while they're around. Hawthorn would not have wanted Cyril Rioli to be done and dusted with the game only ten years into his career, but I doubt they'd be complaining about the four flags he helped them win.

Ditto Jetta. I don't regret for a second taking him even though he went on to help a rival win a flag, because we wouldn't have won 2012 without him.

 

[The King!]

Gray isn’t worth the deal

Cheap as chips who else were we getting

 

[swanssince2002]

I believe we are going to make some hard decisions on certain players due to brutal list cuts at the end of the season. I think Maibaum and Ling will get a run towards the end of the season as well. Give them 3-4 games to see if they are worth it...

 

[The King!]

McLean got a good run at developing

 

[Punts]

Cheap as chips who else were we getting

Why get him then?

To fill the list?

 

[caesar88]

Cheap as chips who else were we getting

Brad Crouch, Ollie Wines, Joe Daniher, Brayden Preuss, Brayden Sier, Jy Simpkin, Charlie Constable. The deals all fell through on deadline day

 

[caesar88]

McLean got a good run at developing

I'd have played him over Sinclair tbh

 

[The King!]

Why get him then?

To fill the list?

Yeah exactly why

 

[The King!]

Lewis Taylor has 3 years and we traded for him

Gray is just some punt at a spare player

 

[The King!]

I'd have played him over Sinclair tbh

I’d have played both

 

[RUNVS]

Given we have 3 defenders on the bench, I’m assuming we’ll keep the strategy of having 64,000 people in the backline yeah?

It was 75,000 last week so 64,000 would be a vast downgrade.

 

[Punts]

Lewis Taylor has 3 years and we traded for him

Gray is just some punt at a spare player

Still a list spot

 

[Dubai Quacker]

McLean got a good run at developing

McLean feels a bit like poor man’s Sean Darcy thus far.

But - the talls do take longer, so who knows if the potential is there.

 

[caesar88]

Can't wait for another game of Sinclair's hack kicking out of stoppages.

Don't leave Gould out of the "slap in the face" party.

As per our trading, I hope we stop going to the bargain bin . We have enough talented kids now to back them in from here on in and start looking at the top shelf.
