NAB Cup Round 1: Swans v Saints v Cats

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Captain McVeigh misses, our kicking at goal is still iffy as that was very gettable.

13 - 20

Did we name a few guys in the extended squad who haven't played either game? Seems like a lot of guys doubling up. I like what I've seen tonight although they're clearly tiring now.

@@@@ me the commentators need to stfu about the players Geelong are resting.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Geelong player can do a 360 before letting go of the ball, while Malceski is pinged for handballing it away.

The bias is there on TV or Radio - Russell or Hudson.

I @@@@ you not, Hudson just said "I fear time might beat the Swans", they were 16 points up and the siren went 8 seconds later....

Anyway, I think the heat beat us and we trailed off. Radio or Foxtel was Cats Central.

The second game performance was as poor as the first was impressive. But the players looked really tired right from the start and were completely out run. Still a reasonably satisfactory night's work.

This, I put it on mute about 2 minutes into the second half. Happy with our night, though.

No sign of Rohan, Mumford or ROK all night. Not sure if JPK was even named in the squad, but he didn't play either.

Nah Liz, all of them were named as 'not playing' by Foxtel.

Not sure that Seaby, Pyke or White pushed themselves for a senior position - Pyke was probably the most prominent. Although to be fair, White didn't get much of a go.

If you asked me who was the most exciting/impressive player over the 2 games - it would be Parker.

Nice hit out to blow away the cobwebs. A few thoughts

Jetta looks to have finally stepped up, let's hope he has.

Pyke the second ruck/FF to me.

The Cunningham bus? wait for me, I want a ticket. Impressive game given where we got him in the draft. Looks to have a future.

Morton showed he is a clever player and might be an absolute steal

Reid continues to impress ..... hugely

Nice to see Mal running freely

Parker will be hard to keep out of R1, our style of player and still so young

Marty, Ted, AJ, Reg, Smith all looked solid again down back again

The veterans Goodes and Bolton look to have plenty of games left in them, plenty.

Overall very satisfying night and a lot of first choice players to still come in. History of this three game format shows that very few of the second games are won by the team that played the first, we looked a little weary against Geelong.

Some LOL from my Twitter feed... FWIW I agree with the lad

[aardvark]

Parks, Birdy, Teddy, Jets with GUNS, Pykie and Harry all impressed. White did nil and Walsh was my big disappointment, barely sighted and looked slow.

I get what you are saying about Walsh, but I suspect, he might be better for the run. I think he would have been better played against the Cats.

We'll see soon enough.

[Aaron]

Bolton, Jack, Lockyer and Walsh played the Saints game only.
Mcglynn, Bird, Moore and White played the Cats only.
ROK, Kennedy, Rohan, Lamb, RLT and Mummy are the few who were named but did not play

Hannerby, Armstrong, Mitchell, Meridth,DLT, Spangler and Brown etc were not named
