Swans' Injuries

I have watched the last Q about 6 times. I cannot see where Bevan had an effective stat. He had a kick over his shoulder that a Geelong player marked, dropped a sitter of a mark and got outmarked by Milburn. He had no idea where the footy was.

Bevan has no idea and has gone backwards at a 100 miles an hour. I have been reliably informed that his reserves form has been woeful. So how does he get a game? He is no good.

Anyone in for him is an improvement.

Its a shame that he has gone so far backwards in his development.

Is it possible to go backwards in one's development? Is that regression?

We've been pretty lucky with our injuries this year.

Speak for yourself, i had a nasty torsion earlier in the year !

I don't know what it's like to suffer a big injury. I have never sprained, broken, fractured or rolled any part of my body. I only suffer asthma and dislocated arms. I can put on a show for you all and show you cool tricks with my arms. Hah.

Perhaps it's called the Canberra League?

I saw Bevan do one thing that could be considered a positive... cannot remember what it was though.

He's played the majority of the season in the Ressies, and he was the weakest link last weekend. I do not mean that vindictively, it's purely an observation. His game was sub-AFL-standard.

But would Roosy risk selecting a player who would be in the same situation as Bevo was this week? Someone who is still lacking recent experience in the seniors? Would he choose someone like Eski, or hedge his bets on Bevo's return to form in his second senior game? Oh, the decisions!

We're not going to bring in Vogels, if it's raining/hailing.
Bevan will hold his spot.
Moore, Malceski or McVeigh will get the call up if Williams etal., don't come up.

Malceski for sure, blind freddy can see that the kid has class and polish when disposing of the ball.

Malceski's 8-10 possessions in ground time of only 35-55mins max is worth twice as much as McVeigh, Moore or Bevan's similar possessions and ground time.....

The only reason Malceski hasn't played more often this year is Roosy, the match committee and the assistant coaches believe in easing players into their first year of senior year. The boy is going to be a very good player for the Swannies.

bevan hasn't yet got the nous to play at top level - he's a couple of seasons under cooked.

I agree - bring back Graino!! (that'd be vogels)

On second thoughts Malceski has probably shown more then Moore (love the pun) in the seniors.

Apparently on SEN they said that Williams will not play this Friday.

What tosh, Dempster's played almost all this year, Bevan played all last year and Schneider all the year before?
Malceski it a prospect but his body doesn't exactly scream "ready for final football" does it?
