Does anyone know which of the Swans reserve team players are ready for the main team. Looking at the performance of the Swans against Collingwood i think its time we started using some of our reserve players.

On performances you would think Phillips,Moore,Laidlaw,Thornton
 
What's the go with Phillips? Played Round 1, kicked a goal, and has been missing since. Has played very well in the reserves and yet is not even named as an emergency. We need him as a crumbing forward.
 
The result is a farce.

The problem is the league they are in make all the Swans Reserve players look like Chris Judd.

And why Roos doesn't play the youngsters more. How could he gauge the real talents of our pups when they play is such a d grade comp.

It's about time they fix this problem as it will haunt in a year or so..it's even hurting us now. I would love too see the swans play in the VFL...i would then have an excuse to watch and even go to local footy and slowly ween myself away from the bore that is AFL. As it stands i can't really get into any of the vfl sides at all except maybe Port Melbourne. But even then with the history they have with the swans its a bit hard to follow them.

Named emergency once or maybe twice since Rd.1


But heres a thought maybe because theres know P.Jonas or R.Lyon because it looks as if he isnt in the good books with the current coaching staff because his form has been very good will be interesting in the coming weeks to see what happens

Maybe.

But i felt that their efforts needed some recognition in the game thread.

Then mention their names (or nicknames, I actually don't care), and discuss their pros and cons of selection and who they may replace.

Saying "wow go roomies..." add nothing, much like these posts on the subject taking up a decent thread.

As for the reserves, I wanted to go to see them this weekend but could not make it to the SCG on Saturday.

Those players who keep performing, hopefully they will get a gig soon. And hopefully be given an extended stay in the team.
 
The only good thing about the reserves at the moment is that it probably helps with retention of young blokes when they're getting paid good money to run around with no pressure and dominate. But what good is retention when they never get promoted?
It's time to get back in the VFL. I'd be more than willing to dust off my old Borough hat and stubbie holder and patch things up with Port Melbourne. We never seem to have any injuries anyway so we could just have a stand alone club.
If the VFL won't take em I be happy to see em over here in the SANFL. There's only nine clubs so they might be keen to get rid of the bye. A lot of the players who didn't get much of a go end up over here anyway. (Meiklejohn, Josh Thewlis, Gerard Bennett etc)
Its not that much further to travel compared to Melbourne, especially when you consider the extra travel time out to Bendigo, Ballarat or Geelong for games. The Adelaide clubs might enjoy having to travel to Sydney once a year and get some time away from Adelaide as well. I know I would. Luv Humph.
