2nds Swans Reserves 2018

[Ticky009]

Dawson kicks his third (and hits 200 DT points). Has had a really good game.

SYDNEY 6-4-40
GCS 10-8-68

Oh nice timing, was about to ask on how he’s going.

 

[Tedeski]

I don't like that Grundy is playing. That means he was dropped which to me is insane.

Oh well.

I feel like there's something going on there.

Yep!
When everyone screams out for a young player like Aliir to come in, they forget that someone has to come out if that player grabs their chance.

Well Dawson's definitely getting the senior call-up next week

Yeah, Marsh.

Not the 250-game pillar of our defence.

Excellent up & coming midfield group.

What?
For the next 3 years?
We're playing Gold Coast & we need to see who gets a contract for these next 3 years.
I'm sure Reg knows what's going on. He'll be back before the year is out & if Marsh or Aliir fail badly today.

Except dropping our best one on one defender, the only guy who can take the big monsters up forward is not what I call a smart move, especially since Grundy is in good form as well. As much as I like Aliir he is not a one on one key defender despite his size.

I hope you're right. As for Marsh, he's a handy player but he is nowhere near the level of Grundy. So even if Marsh doesn't fail, we should still be playing Grundy over Marsh. Worry about a run at the flag first then deal with the contract stuff later.

We need to set our team for those teams actually in premiership contention. It’s the clubs job to try and win flags. No point going forward with players that don’t match those sides.

The big monster forward is now a tall athlete with agility.

This is what I believe they are actually doing. Club maybe does not feel we can win a flag against the contenders with the existing defensive setup.
Tbh I think they are correct.

Even still, you would rather Marsh than Grundy if it was a do-or-die final?

 

[TheMase]

Blair had 60 hitouts on debut
Swans had 85 overall and Suns had 38.

There were certainly a lot of ball ups!

Depends on who we are playing and his match up. I’d rather Melican but he isn’t available.

 

[alex4445]

Dawson was great but probably just a couple too many topups out there to get the win. Foote after being impressed by him for the first time last week I thought he was back to being underwhelming and along with towers who while getting 26 disposals did not have a good game left too much for Dawson to do.

Thought Angus Styles had his best game so far. Havent been particularly impressed by him but he showed some good skill and workrate.
Johnson looks more comfortable each week he is out there.

Dont think much else can be taken from that game.

 

[Theprofessional]

Dawson looks like the perfect replacement for Kennedy.

Somebody that'll have to carry the entire midfield. 20+tacokles is a fair effort.

Grundy in reserves I don't like

 

[caesar88]

I thought Amartey's second and third efforts were once again outstanding for his size. That chase-down tackle late in the last quarter when the game was well and truly over was awesome to see. Hope he has a massive pre-season and gives 2019 a real crack

 

[PVF]

That game from Dawson surely trumps Mitchell's 64 disposals.

That stat line is beast mode despite the loss.

Hmmm maybe not then

Grundy hasn't really been beaten much this year, and to replace him we need to be playing a player who can take his role, and so far we are not.

Totally different type of player.
One can play in our senior the team & the other one won't ever again.
