Swans Reserves (ECFL comp) 2021 (VFL we fart in your general direction)

[Millky95]

Should have been off the list in 2019, as I said at the time.

We should be far more aggressive cutting those who are not going to become quality AFL players. Bell is another that is absolutely baffling

Assuming we delisted Bell and Armety who would you have no delisted instead? Assuming in this hypothetical we don't just draft in someone with super late picks

I would have delisted them in addition to those we did, to take 2 more late picks, which historically have a 10-20% chance of becoming an above average AFL player.

That is a greater % than I give to either Amartey or Bell (and a few others), so it is the right move. Amartey has now been on the list 4 seasons to play 1 game, and is just clogging a spot that could be recycled on someone with a 10-20% chance.

This is rubbish. You can only have so many children on the list. And you can only play so many in the seniors. They don’t have the strength or fitness.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I hope McAndrew i hope keeps getting picked.

Tell me more. I’ve missed the last couple of games.

 

[TheMase]

Tell me more. I’ve missed the last couple of games.

He just uses his body well in ruck contests and shows a willingness to compete immediately after the ruck contest.

Plenty of work to do with his involvement in the rest of the game but you can’t teach someone to be 208.5cm so it’s a good start.

That’s my take anyway.

Best Players: R. Fox, M. Sheather, W. Gould, L. Taylor, K. Brand, S. Gray

Best Players: R. Fox, M. Sheather, W. Gould, L. Taylor, K. Brand, S. Gray

That's obviously from the sportstg website, but who makes those choices?

Gould better than Taylor & Campbell?
Certainly not in my view.

I'll be interested to read Laidler's report and compare his commentary to those votes. (NB; Recap below does not include his report).

Hand injury, off in first quarter.

Is there anywhere to watch all of our vfl games or just have to wait for selected broadcasts?

You can watch them in Kayo

 

[ManOfClay]

Hand injury, off in first quarter.

Picked up when he Andrew Gaffed Aaron Black?

 

[Mister B]

Pat McCartin being investigated for a behind the ball hit that Fox Footy has described as sickening. Can't tell from the behind the goals potato it was filmed on whether it is a punch or slap.

Mistyped. Glad you made your way here to stir up s**t so you could pick up the error.

 

[HPKS]

It’s an issue that has crept into the game over the last decade. To many times we accept the punch to the body or arms as ok & view as part of the game or “gamesmanship”. First gaff now McCartin. It’s obvious from the vision he’s attempting to hit his opponent in the arms but miscues and hits the head. Until the league stamps it out it’s going to happen more often. Will get 4 weeks.

Looks like emotions got the better of him. He would have felt it after collecting his jaw but ran away

1 week only!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

1 week only!

For Black

Paddy to be cleared.

 

[bedford]

1 week only!

Its been deemed intentional and high impact !

 

[Tedeski]

Its been deemed intentional and high impact !

Oooh!
Let's say 1 week for intentional plus two for high impact............that's 3 weeks with 1 less for an early plea.

Two weeks folks.
Out for 4 to 6 with a broken hand anyway & Black goes on to play the whole game out with a saw jaw.
No harm done this time around but Paddy needs to be smarter than that.
