NAB Cup v Hawthorn @ Launceston

[Damien]

Well the way we're playing now that will happen and it'll keep our reputation intact. Haven't won in pre-season cup since 2002.

haha and seeing 2002 was possibly the most awful year (well at least the first half was) to a be Swans fan since the early 90's, it seems to be a good thing to lose!!

Siren! We keep our record intact.

Great performance by the young Swannies.

Definitely impressed with some of the youngsters. Hope to see them debut in the regular season.

[Big Al]

Great effort boys. Should give the youngsters a great deal of confidence.

And the relevance of the psc is????

Good result - we didn't get blown away as has been the case many times in recent years.....so there was an intensity through the entire game, but we lost, meaning we can now control our pre-season buildup the way we want. I'm a happy boy! Well, apart from Eski buggering his knee

[Robbo]

Great effort. Hopefully some of the morons on BF will stfu about our lack of young talent.

More chance of a season without the Weagles in the news for the wrong resaons.

@@@@ I'm impressed with some of our younger players incuding, Craig Bird, Ryan Brabazon, Kristin Thornton and Keiran Jack.

Disappointed in Nick Malceski. Done an ACL and will be out for the season. @@@@ I feel gutted. It's the 2nd one he's done in his young career.

I hope I am wrong, since he has to have scans but it didn't look good. It's no wonder, why we recruited Martin Mattner.

[Bas]

Colbert et al are now confirming that Malceski has done his ACL and out for season.

[Robbo]

Oh FFS you've gotta be joking......

[Cheer Squad mbr]

Hopefully Malceski's knee will be ok in time for the season opener.

[Glenn]

Very sad news about Eski, any wonder why Sydney always go with a very under strength side in the pre season.

Colbert et al are now confirming that Malceski has done his ACL and out for season.

Oh crap!

[Robbo]

How does Colbert know he's done his ACL?
