Preview Sydney Swans vs GWS, Saturday April 17 @ SCG

[Barrybran]

I found this. Over on the right hand side - looks like it's only via tour.

SCG Museum and SCG Tour Experience - MGNSW

Nestled alongside the heritage-listed Sydney Cricket Ground Members Pavilion, beneath the Ladies Stand, the SCG Museum is dedicated to the unique sporting and social activities that have occurred in the precinct since the 1850s. The SCG Museum is accessible as part of the dynamic SCG Tour...

Ah bugger. I appreciate the effort. Thank you.

Ah bugger. I appreciate the effort. Thank you.

No worries. I've never even set foot at the SCG, so you're doing better than me. Enjoy.

 

[TheMase]

In Melican Hayward
Out Heeney Rampe and Bell

 

[caesar88]

Happy with that.

Hope Hayward goes well.

 

[swanssince2002]

Nothing too unexpected... guess they are playing it ultra safe with Rowbum. Maybe we will see him play in the 2s.

 

[SM]

Hey Swans fans! Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place but I'm going to the game tomorrow, my first at the SCG of any sport, and was wondering if the museum is open on game days. I'd love to check it out if possible.

Hoping for a good game and a bag for Buddy!

See you there.

Hm Rowbottom not straight back in.

, who has missed the last three weeks with a knee injury will return but at VFL level, with the Sydney Swans playing their first VFL match against the Giants on Saturday at Lakeside Oval, as a precursor to Sydney Derby XX.

“He (Rowbottom) got through training well and we’d like to see him play at the reserves level this week and hopefully get through that and he will be ready to go after that,” Longmire said.

Smart call.

 

[Ticky009]

Will's knee seemed to be heavily strapped on the scratch match, what was that about?

Good stuff, though I don't like the idea of any of those emergencies, so hopefully Stephens is the sub!

Nothing mate, never mind.

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps you could narrow down where on the SCG site I may find the hours seeing as I couldn't find them when I tried this prior to asking the question.

Sorry Barry. The SCG currently does not have a museum , the likes of the MCG. My fault . i assumed that you were referring to the Syd museum. Cant help on alternitves. IT all depends where you are staying.

 

[caesar88]

I'm assuming there was a point to you quoting one of my posts, I'm just not sure what it is.

 

[rustycrate]

If Sam Gray makes it as sub over Stephens, oh boy.

I think that is just that they want Stephens to get game time. Nothing else. He needs time playing to improve and continue to put pressure on the players playing seniors.
The sub is not an automatic admission that this player is next in.

 

[TheMase]

Gray will probably be the sub because they want the rest to have a full hitout in the twos.

It makes perfect sense really. Has played at the level before but isn’t part of the future and doesn’t need the development time.

I know, but it's not worth the risk of losing a player early and then having Gray on field all game. Like Clarke or COR (not that I've seen/heard anything about him this year) are known quantities and can be good.

Better for Stephens to play a full ressies game then 2 hours on the bench.

Actually fair point. The more I think about it, though I rate him highly, I don't think throwing a kid in like Stephens say at half time would be conducive to a good performance from him anyway. Can be tough for youngsters at the best of times but picking up the pace of the game midway through it is hardly practical.

 

[swanssince2002]

More that I think about it Gray might actually be the smokey for the sub. Reserves start this weekend and I think they want the youngsters to get as much game time as possible in the 2s. Speed up the development.

On the other hand Gray has already 100+ games at the top level and we know who he is at this point. Not a world beater but can kick goals here and there.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Common sense prevails with those changes.

This really is a good opportunity for Hayward. He’ll get 3 games minimum to prove that he can still be valuable to this side and make it impossible to drop him.

Stephens needing game time more is stating the obvious, not sure why people are pointing that out. Harsh reality of the sub that they might miss all game time some weekends, but you can always rotate it as has been done. It's the fact that we do know who Gray is at this point and he's mentioned on the teamsheet is my worry. Better options for known quantities as I mentioned.
