match report

That match report was obviously written for the Suns website it is so Suns centric. I would love to know how Rohan and Shawie went.

By the way I see Shane Biggs on the best list once again. Going to be a very hard decision whether to keep him or not if he keeps playing well. He might even seek a chance elsewhere anyway. But I had a look at the rules and there is no reason we can't keep him for another year as we can keep Rookies for three years.

I like the "experience and elite ability" phrase used to describe our ressies in the match report on the Suns website. Also the description "Swans dynamic ruck-men"!

On paper the Suns had a very good side so full credit to our guys for beating them up there.

Good to see Robinson getting best again, must be improving.

I agree there were some pretty top players playing in their Twos this week. Our top up rucks must have been pretty good. Robbo has come back from injury quite well then. He was ok last week but obviously really good this week.

Geez, Tony Armstrong is the forgotten man, isn't he?

Seeing him this year, to be frank I don't think he is up to AFL finals standard and just fringish for season proper. That being the case we are better off putting senior game time into players who will do it for us in this years and next years finals.

It seems that he is way down the pecking order and I suspect unless he is contracted that he wont be at the club next year. He will join Marty Mattner who leaves the club. I also suspect that this will be Jude's last year and possibly Shaw & LRT.

Armstrong is contracted for 2014

and I think you're writing off LRT way too early.

Thanks Ugg. This is a great read, and invaluable for those who can't make it along to see the twos play. Though parts of it make me feel a tad sad. It must be very difficult being a fringe player with this team at the moment, or to succumb to a minor injury and then have to fight all over again to get another run in the seniors.

Tangentially, B. Plug, now there's a very unfortunate name.

I'm told he plays as a stopper.

It's all scuttle butt...

I heard he usually plays the in-and-under role.

When will the match wrap up be on the Swans site? Think it needs to be early Monday morning when it's interstate, for local games I think the ressie watchers wrap ups are more accurate :-)

[ugg]

Match wrap for away games usually Monday afternoon and video highlights (for both home and away) Tuesday afternon

And it's up!

Reserves win on the Gold Coast - SYDNEYSWANS.com.au

Rhyce 80 minutes and 'blowing'. Will be interesting to see what they do with him as the reserves have the bye. In an ideal world he would play a quarter as the sub but there's always the risk of having to use the sub early in case on injury.
