For who? I'd play him on a wing before that. He moves across the ground beautifully, can lay a tackle and though I haven't checked his field kicking is pretty good too.

I'm off to a flyer on that call.
Haven't been since the 2016 GF. Gave up the family season ticket. Corrupt umpiring, gambling ads all over everything (probably not an unrelated pairing) + so many night game late finishes not good for my 8-11 year olds.
Well done AFL - have another game in Chyna. (ca-ching
on that gambling market eh Gill).Such a truthful post I had to quote it on the Don's board.
Don’t forget. Swans v Crowd at SCG a few short weeks ago. We were hit 12-0 in frees against from start. Got our first free midway thru 2nd quarter.
It’s no accident. It’s a mindset. It’s cost us at least one premiership and numerous top 4s.
Trouble is - it gets worse as it goes. Today was a blatant, unapologetic disgrace that gifted a s**t club an undeserved win.

Considering we dont have a max exodus i am quite happy with the state of our list. We have elite young talent in heeney, mills,blakey, mccartin,dawson,papley etc.. we will get a top 10 pick this year (which we have to nail) future looks bright
Yeah. I've never actually been to an afl game. I want to, but I literally have no one to go with
. I watch every Swans game on TV religiously though.

Isaac Heeney, Aliir Aliir, Josh Kennedy, Sir Dane and Sam Reid (never thought I'd say that!), take a bow. Your effort out there was enormous.
Another very impressive showing from young Rowbottom. His hands in tight are sublime.
Parker is just... dunno what to say.
Worst games of the young careers of Dawson and Florent. It's just the nature of this team at the minute and where we're at. Before the bye, Florent was looking electric, today he looked off the boil. Just last week Dawson looked sharp, today he was a liability at times. I back them both to bounce back. Hayward is another who is just in a slump at the minute, nothing that can be done about it except to ride it out. Ditto with all of them. I only single Dawson and Florent out because I actually think when they're up and about they are our two game-makers, and will be two of our very best players in the (hopefully) not too distant future, so their lack of influence is really felt. It's a testament to the impact they've made in such a short time already.
We were dysfunctional around the ground, but again, that's just a byproduct of where this team is at. No Sinclair meant Aliir in the ruck, which meant McCartin was down back, and sometimes even he wasn't down back, which meant you had situations like McKearnan the dud taking uncontested marks 25 metres out. No Sinclair meant Reid in the ruck, which meant Blakey was the only consistent forward, and he's 18. No Sinclair meant Reid and McCartin being out of the forward line for periods, which meant Heeney, our best mid on the ground, not being used in the midfield. The whole team structures were just completely out of whack, and you can't even get mad at Horse for it, because there's changing structures on the fly, and then there's basically having to re-jig the entire set-up of a team that's already young and inexperienced.
Young players means a lack of steady heads (typified by situations like Hayward failing to find Parker alone inside 50, or Dawson failing to get a handball away to Rowbottom in defensive 50 and turning it over, or Florent feeling the need to inexplicably push McDonald-Tipungwuti in the back despite having him beat.) But when you combine that lack of composure with the added challenge of having to pick up new roles on the fly, that's even harder. I think many on here, myself included, were being optimistic pre-game at how well our structures would hold up, and how unaffected the rest of the team would be by it.

I'm going to do my own little boycott. I usually watch four or five games a weekend. That's going to be one now. F the AFL not good enough.
