Round 1: Ainslie Tricolours v Sydney Swans Reserves

[wolftone57]

Who went back? Davis? Sad about Aliir hope it is not too bad. Be nice if it was just a corkie. Thanks O'Rielly

[wolftone57]

according the Swans Official Tweet; Hewett, McGlinn, Mitchell & Aliir in Sydney's best. Mclaren 4, Nankervis 3.

Anyone know if Marsh got himself injured? With the normal caveat around judging a game based on possession stats, 7 possessions (and no tackles) from a third year running mid/defender isn't a great output. Surely he must have only spent a short time on the ground?

Marsh played fullback for much of the final quarter - no injury.

Yes, Wolftone, Davis went back for Aliir but didn't touch the ball. The collision was unfortunate - it was clearly his mark and he called for it.

Hiscox was icing his ankle for the last 15 min of the game, too.

So Mitchell had a quiet game :-)

Aliir 9 marks, 20 possies, nice stats, maybe there is a future KPD in the ranks.

Best players: Tom Mitchell, Xavier Richards, Sam Naismith, Aliir Aliir, Zak Jones, Harrison Marsh

Marsh must have played on Bennett.

Marsh must have played on Bennett.

Obviously he did something the coaches liked. Demonstrates exactly why judging performances by stats is a dangerous thing!

I watched most of the last quarter. Richards took 3-4 intercept marks - looked good. Naismith tap work excellent, took a good contested mark and goal. Hewett and Jones (off half back) involved. Foote looked lively. Aliir collided with top-up Campbell taking a mark and went off with a lower leg injury and didn't return.

We desperately need a couple of reserves players to really step up this season, there's a great opportunity for Naismith if he's good enough

[Matt80]

McLaren looks like he could be a handy tall forward at NEAFL level. He has played well up forward thus far.

I noticed that he did not record a tackle. What is his defensive pressure like?

The key forwards in the seniors are nailing up to 8 tackles a game.

Can McLaren develop that aspect of his game?

Just browsing through the 2015 NEAFL rules and regulations, I note that our listed players restrictions has been relaxed to 20 listed players.

Finals are still capped at 15 listed players.

Thanks for that ugg - looks as if the powers that be are paying more attention to the wider interest in the games.
