Preliminary Final 2: Sydney Swans Reserves v NT Thunder

[liz]

I believe anyone is eligible because our senior team is still alive. If we wanted to, we could play Buddy, JPK and McGlynn. We won't of course.

Priority is most likely to be given to those who might be called upon to step into the senior team, if needed. So the most likely "casualties" of this team are likely to be players like Dick, Marsh, Lockyer who essentially have no chance of a senior team call up.

Nankervis was shown after the siren limping with a heavily iced knee. Is Laidler eligible next week after I think only two reserves games this year. They could be two of the five outs we need to make against Aspley.

Next week we can only pick 13 listed players as we are playing Aspley. This will be the hardest selection of the year. We have to pick 13 who will keep our structure.

Mills and Heeney will be vital.

This is my listed 13 I would pick.

Walsh
Richards
Naismith
Toby N
Membrey
Tom Mitchell
Hewitt
Towers
Biggs
Jones
B. Jack
Laidler

I've focused on selecting the key position players and having plenty of midfielders to run the game out. Mills and Heeney will help the midfield rotation.

How did Mills, Heeney and Hewitt finish the game? Did Mills and Heeney get a lot of midfield time?

Hewitt I thought was quiet today, I didn't really feel he got into the game (remember these are from just watching the stream per say and ugg etc that were there might have a better view on things).
Heeney did some nice bits and pieces and he's a very nice kick of the ball - I do like the look of him.
Mills did some good bits and pieces, but I cant say he did anything that really stood out - I don't think he got much playing time however?

Mitchell was excellent however

Good 3rd quarter there, Swans came out with plenty of intent and did really well. Impressed by a number of them - (Matt80's lovechild ) Heeney is doing well, and Mills has shown some glimpses of his ability as well. Biggs has been solid so far today, and the two big lads (Naismith and Nankervis) are doing well in the ruck.

Haha I think so ScottH!

Fantastic 2nd half, where the superior fitness of the Swans shone through.

Lots of good performances - Walsh was very good down back, Mitchell excellent in midfield and up forward, Naismith was great in the ruck. Really good 2nd half performance after a sloppy first half effort in trying conditions.

[dimelb]

Very impressive win to the Swans. Hope we can do this again next weekend.

How good is Abe Davis' hair?

Wasn't he in Mod Squad?

Tough footy so far - NT enjoying the wet more than the Swans boys.
