Chamberlain doing nice things? Two handballs are his total stats for the game.

Sorry I meant the other academy boy. Anderanchio or something like that.

I suppose 6 goals behind is not too bad considering all the AFL listed players Geelong have. Probably Corey Warner best game. Lloyd has been handy up forward, Roberts has been OK. Chamberlain has does some nice things down back. Francis playing his usual good VFL game. not sure where Riley Bice's game is at, some sloppy kicking. Indi Kirk has also been good.

Yes, we can't really kick it to a contest, because Geelong are generally bigger and stronger. Some of our ball movement has been pretty good at times. Lloyd kicking three goals, has probably earned himself another VFL contract: assuming that he wants one.

Was there any question before this game about Lloyd earning another VFL contract - if he wants one? He's probably favourite to win our VFL Player of the Year award. Shipley and Edwards are the only two challengers, and Edwards hasn't had the season he had last year, while Shipley's been injured a bit and also had a few so-so games in amongst some good ones.

30-60 at HT actually feels like a decent effort by the Swans, we have shown a lot of enterprise. A highlight was that long kick-out by Mitchell to Leidler in the centre square, long bomb to Matt Lloyd who gathers and kicks the goal .

Plus Geelong have 18 listed AFL players.

I wonder why Fox is out? Is he ill or injured, or is there a late change to the AFL side?

Yes - it does feel that way! The extra height Geelong have all over the ground is helping as well.

Looks like the umpires have decided that the huge advantage in AFL listed players isn't enough for Geelong and that they need some extra assistance, with an 11-4 free kick count at quarter time.

Geelong's team still not finalized, but they could pick up to 19 AFL listed players. With only three players over 190cm we will be up against it. Still, will be good to see Chamberlain again.

Forget to mention that Snell is also injured. So I'm not sure if we have a genuine key defender?

The team for our final VFL match of the year. Which is against Geelong and takes place at 11.35am on Sunday at Tramway. The side might be reasonably confident, after three wins in a row, but Geelong are almost injury free and have a strong advantage in AFL listed players. Ladhams being promoted and Shipley being out injured doesn't help. Plus we seem a bit light on for talls. Academy prospect, Chamberlain, gets another chance to impress. As does overage academy player, Andreacchio, who was flying in the Talent League, before picking up an injury.
