Thanks Ugg for all your efforts. I really enjoy your ressy coverage.
Can you tell us if the team went to sleep in the last quarter or run out of steam?
Was Spangher the only senior emergency to play?
Cheers.

Answered half the question just as I pressed the send button!! Quick off the draw Ugg.

Thanks ugg.
Good to see Everitt heading the best list, and Walsh and Spangher getting goals (I expect TDL to be up there), and Campbell Heath's continued run of form.

Do we know who/where we will play next week now?

We play Ainslie but I'm not sure where. All previous finals have been held in Canberra but in the reserves report they've indicated it will be the curtain raiser for the Hawks game. Fingers crossed.

Now that the Canberra clubs have graduated to the NEAFL - which has nearly as many Sydney based teams as Canberra ones, it is about time home ground advantage goes to the teams who have earned it. We are already giving away a fair amount by being limited to 12 listed players in the finals. I realised VFL clubs have a similar limitation, but they generally have squads of mature non-AFL players to pick from. We have a bunch of skinny 17 and 18 year olds, so once the number of them gets above a certain level, it becomes physically tough on them. Still, our top-ups have done the team proud throughout the year, so hopefully they can keep the good work up.

The NEAFL finals plan is that 2ND plays 3RD at the home ground of 2ND. So Swans lay AInslie next weekend in Sydney - it's a fair bet that it will be a curtain-raiser.....YUMMY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i be boring and ask someone to tell me what is a "LISTED PLAYER" ?

A player that is on the Swans main list and not a rookie.

They can elevate a rookie to the main list during the season as they have done with Cunningham but technically he is still a rookie and not a listed player.

I am pretty certain that in the context of the NEAFL, "listed player" includes rookie listed players too.

So there is a limit of 12 "official" Swans plus 10 toppies (which can include the ever-present Potter, as he is not officially on the Swans list). Could mean that a couple of players have played their last game for the club.

Well I have good and bad news. The good news is that we do get home ground advantage, the bad news is it's at Blacktown

Saturday 11.45am Sydney Swans Reserves v Ainslie @ Blacktown International Sportspark.

Are the neafl going to provide the helicopters to get us to the main game that day?
