Thanks Al a few players in the goals can maybe get a game in the seniors next week. Nipper, TDL Spangher & Lamb & maybe bring Bulldog back? How did Seabs & Pykie go?

[erica]

Thanks for the updates Al. Wish I'd been there with you instead of watching the debacle that was on tv.

[BSA5]

Jesus Christ it was cold!!!!!! Doing this on my phone, so it'll be quick.

TDL: A bit disappointing, tbh. Got on the end of a few, but seemed to lack intensity. Well and truly outshone by Gordon.
Malceski: Had his own ball out there. His disposal wasn't always great, but he was simply too good.
Lamb: He's yummy. Played midfield and did it bloody well. Very impressed, he was good around the clearances and highly composed.
Rohan: He was absolutely everywhere. Spent time in the midfield and in defence, and excelled.
White: Started in the midfield, before taking on the full-time ruck role, with Pyke playing forward and ruck. He was pretty good, but nothing that screams "select me".
LJ: Looked his usual classy self before going off. The guy just can't catch a break.
Spangher: Pretty solid, playing a variety of roles. Up forward, down back, wing, and he acquitted himself well, but he can do better.
McNeil: Probably his best game for the year. Did all his usual inside work, but also managed to find some space and have a run, which the coaches should be happy with.
Moore: Standard Moore game. Looked a class above whenever he had the ball, he just did nothing to suggest he could run out a senior game like that.
Heath: Played mainly off a wing, and was classy and composed. I'd be surprised if he didn't get quite a few games next year (injury permitting).
McKaigue: As always, his defensive work was great, but his attacking game left a lot to be desired.
Pyke: Got into the game more as it went on, starting quietly but being possibly the most dominant player on the ground in the final quarter. Maybe needs another run, but shouldn't be too far off seniors.
Kruger: His ball skills are atrocious, and he's regularly being outshone by toppies. Not happy, especially since I really his physical attributes and attitude. He just doesn't appear to be a footballer.
Otten: Big meh. Would have liked to see him thrown forward, just for kicks. Can't see him getting a second year.
Gordon: BOG. Dominant display up forward, and on another day could have had 10. Just kept taking marks, and genuine contested marks at that, against guys much bigger than him. Just reads the flight superbly, uses the body and has telescopic arms that just pluck it. Also got on the lead a fair few times. Up forward is his spot. Judging by comments on the seniors performance this week, get him in!!!

Toppies:

Potter: Did a few nice things and acquitted himself reasonably. I like Potter, but I'm not sure he has what it takes to take the next step. He's already physically very developed, but he's not having much impact.
Guthrie: Pretty much ditto Potter.
Lynch: Played mainly in defence. Put up a solid showing, but just lost his feet a few times and made a few errors. I actually like him up forward, I wish they'd play him there more often.
Wales: Solid in defence as ever. Hard to find fault, though whether he's got what it takes for the next step is unclear.
A.Moody: Found a bit of the ball, but his usage was shocking. He really is quite a poor kick, but he can work on that. He's got a bit of something about him though. In a year's time, things might fall into place for him!
Wray: A bit disappointed actually. I really like Wray, but he lacked a bit of composure and intensity today. Plated in defence, made a few errors. Not that I'm writing him off or anything, he just had a bad day.
Robinson: Really quite impressed with Robinson. He's got some zip about him, kicked some good goals, made some good decisions. I like him!

[Primmy]

Ta Al. Ta BS. Much better than seniors. Whoda.

[wolftone57]

So ins for the Seniors next week Lamby, Pykie, Mal, Spang & Nipper. We could do with about that many if not more after today's performance. It was the most insipid of any Swans side in a long time. By the way thanks forwork BSA5

[Big Al]

Can't add too much more to BSA5 terrific analysis.

Nipper was quite brilliant and surely deserves a run next week.

Rohan running power was enormous and if fit should get a run.

Jed Lamb...I love this bloke. Wonderful game. He's going to be a star I reckon.

Dylan McNeil was outstanding around the stoppages. One to watch.

Hope LJ is okay. He's beautiful to watch when he's on and he was on today. Fingers crossed.

As BSA5 said Pyke worked into the game. With another Ressies game under his belt he'd have to come into consideration for the Seniors.

Anyway I feel for anyone that had to sit through the seniors. I was getting SMS updates from a mate and his analysis can't be repeated here.

Thanks Al, and BSA5 - much appreciated. How pleasant to read good news.
