Unfortunately I haven't really seen all that much from McLaren tonight. Hasn't really had great delivery in fairness but hardly done much from what I've seen. Agree with Rose, looked good in patches. Hasn't had a lot of it as he's playing a sort of lock down defensive role but I've liked the look of Marsh in his little cameos! Has real pace and a good long boot on him! Would love to see him demand the ball more and take them on cos he could become a real player!
Aliir has looked good defending one on one tonight and Davis shows good mobility and endurance for a big man. Newman hasn't done a lot but what he does is usually classy.
Finally Perris has done pretty well too for a player making his way back!Comment

Full time Swans 6.8 (44) Thunder 15.7 (97)
Goals: McLaren Wilson Brown Krochmal Newman Fyffe
Most encouraging was Perris' performance. Mcglynn still looked rusty and will probably need another NEAFL game before they will consider himComment

Positives:
Perris is a determined SOB.
Newman is looking like senior material.
Rose likewise.
Hmmm.We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!Comment

I have just been watching Swans Reserves and unfortunately we played the same way as the seniors. About 8 minutes into the 2nd quarter from a throw in. Derryk down to a swans toppie and a long handpass forward to Rose. About 40m ahead FF leads straight to Rose but, coaching rule 3, comes in and Rose kicks it 55m bomb to the defender. Three kicks and Thunder just missed a goal. 2 more of those in 2nd quarter. No structure again. Another contest with 6 men, 3 Thunder players, within 2 metres of the ball, and Thunder just handpass 10m and their away. Swarm to the ball, but can't win the ball and killed on the outside.
Rosie gives up something with good positioning, a footy brain but the coaching is starting to get into his head and very hard at the body. Unsure why Davis playing mid. Newman can hit targets and a great defending mark in Q3 and Aliir good as a flanker. Good to see Lloyd Perris playing. Will need McGlynn to play 1sts.
Plenty of effort but still struggling to wonder we can't use the ball well.
Thunder running us into the ground. Creating space and using the ball better.Comment

57:30 - Derrickxx flips a guy to give away 50. Seen similar on a league field, but not aussie rules...The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

It's the first time this season I've been able to watch the ressies for an extended period and I really liked what Aliir was doing. How far off senior selection do others think he is? I looked up his entry in the club site but they haven't updated it since the start of last season, which seems pretty slack to me.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

From the bits and pieces I've seen, he is continuing to improve nicely, but still a fair way off. He is athletic, willing to take the game on, and is improving his disposal. But his positioning still gets him caught out a bit, and he needs to continue to improve in 1 on 1 situations. I like him and think he will make it, but he needs time."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

McGlynn had no disposals or marks in the last quarter. Possible he was taken off but hard to notice because the footage last quarter was frame by frame.
Newman 11 disposals in the last. 15 contested possessions in total.Comment

I am super-impressed to see Perris be our best player as a young rookie in his first full game back after a long stint on the sidelines injured.
As an aside, it's a pity he isn't bigger - only because our other top midfield talent is also on the shorter side, as an individual level it is not so consequential. Joey is our only taller mid (188 cm) and it seems to be the way the game is going a bit that big mids are proving very valuable (provided, of course, that they are good enough).
Also encouraging to see Derickx do well - we might need him to play again.
Marsh on the other hand seems to have dropped away a bit. Or is it just one off game? I wonder why? Injury niggle? Disappointment at not getting called up when others were injured - he must have been a chance to come in for Laidler. I also wonder if he will be retained at the end of the year. I am thinking he will be because he is leading the MVP votes and because sooner rather than later we are going to need some new defenders and while we have a number of prospects, they mostly have been blooded and we don't really know yet which ones are going to succeed at AFL level (noting X's 2nd game 'debut' against West Coast).
I also wonder how far off Newman is. I imagine he will be promoted to the senior list ahead of next season, especially if we spend most of our high picks on Mills. I think he has been building form and fitness since returning from surgery (?) over the pre-season and it would be great to see him get a run in the seniors before the year is out - perhaps in place of Shaw?All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Newmann must be getting close, if not this year I reckon he will be starting 22 next year, was it 35 disposals only 3 clangers, can use the ball. Rose continues to build.
On those stats and previous showings at senior level - DO NOT BRING BACK TOWERS! Another first round bust :-(Comment
