Nicks was cruising but clearly a cut above. Schneider was very good in patches and seemed to be concentrating hard on his set kicking for goal (with good results). Sundqvist and Malceski both looked good in the second and third quarters. Didn't see Sunny in the final term (on the bench?) while Malceski looked a little tired and made some silly errors as a result.
Potter went off sometime in the middle of the game with what looked like a shoulder or arm injury and didn't come back.
Thought the defence was pretty ordinary in that they made some basic errors that led to Magpie goals. It didn't matter much since the Swans were mostly dominating in the midfield but I guess you're looking for the defenders not to make dumb mistakes in the few times they get the ball. Campbell, in particular, looks a long way away from AFL level.
Neither Willoughby nor Schmidt starred but both did some clever things with the ball when they got it. Both will play senior football.
Powell was the other one who caught my eye - and I'm not a Powell fan. He presented well in the forward line and marked strongly, though let himself down with some mixed kicking for goal.
