This description of reserves is a major worry. Very tough to develop players in a virtual training run.

It was a shambles. And at 1/4 time etc, the teams split into ACTUAL swans and ACTUAL SFL dev team for coaching - so there were two groups of blue and red blobs.

The best part was that about half of the 200 or so people there didn't realise that the teams were split 1/2 and 1/2.

Doyle kicked some good goals for SFL dev team. I think his fitness is improving.

Actually I think it was probaly a good idea, especially to see shaw Vs Torture, Matthews Vs Schmidt etc

In my opinion, IMO is short for "In My Opinion" - don't just take my word for it though, it's just IMO.

What you do is preface everything with IMO. That way you dont cop a bake everytime you dare to give an opinion about a player.

Sorry I probably didn't word it well - it was a good idea, and it was game time when they had a bye in the ACTAFL.

In fact, the game yesterday was quite close and probably benefitted all involved far more than a 100+ thrashing of an ACTAFL team.

Thanks for that. Its baffling to hear that Schmidt was fit and wasn't even an emergency for the seniors game.

Do you know the result of the AFL Canberra v AFL Sydney game?

The ACT won quite convincingly. I didn't watch it all because to be honest, it wasn't very good. The first half was particularly bad.

I'm not sure what role Dempster plays in the side, but surely his position must go to Malceski when he is available.

You want Malceski to spend most of the night on the bench! I don't think Dempster got much of game time.

You can also be humble about it. IMHO, works really well too.

You use that when you are not sure if your opinion is right.

That means i should use IMHO all the time

Well, no, not if that is his role. But in that case we may as well have Chambers in the side so someone can justify draftng him.

IMO Dempster is too slow.He got away with it last year but it is very obvious this year.They are saying the pace of the game has quickened.
Vogels really looks the good to me.He's a very fluent footballer.
Young Moore has a very quick footy brain,that was displayed with his clean,slick handballs in the fina lquarter.
I thought Bevan did his job well.
After seeing some of the Adelaide game yesterday,they look like the team to beat and will really test us.

Vogels...if he had been played ahead of Richards all year we would now really know what he is...but again on Saturday he showed more than enough to be given an extended run. Can't believe some on here soooooo impressed by Ted in reserves. IMO all of us would look good once we found "our level"...in my case, almost 60 with a bit of residual pace!

Moore...nice touches yes...but perhaps lacks pace..deserves another couple of games at least so we know whether to persevere.

Bevan / Dempster...there is perhaps one player between them...but I don't have the wisdom of Solomon to work out the answer as to which one, & an operation is probably out of the question!
