Round 5: Brisbane Lions Reserves v Sydney Swans Reserves @ Coorparoo

[Nico]

I recall a rookie who was tall and gangly that clubs passed up in the draft. I think his.name was Sandilands IIRC.

I think we have 6 trucks. Tippett, Sinclair, Nankervis, Naismith, Galloway and TD.

So this is the 3rd week running that Jordan Dawson doesn't make the team without any mention of why. I really wish the club would keep the supporters informed about what's going on with our players, rather than let us speculate the worst, e.g. Cam McCarthy syndrome.

He is in the background of a photo of Gaz Rohan having a kick at training, and he's suited up. But maybe that's an old photo, who knows.

He did miss most of last year with a back complaint, maybe that has flared up again...All speculation of course...

You're right, the club should keep us informed.

Dawson has a calf injury, estimated return one week, listed on the injury list on Swans' website. (And Derickx an ankle injury, one week).

They've shifted the game yet again, it's now at Blacktown starting 11.30.

Bummer! Thanks for letting me know - first I've heard. Would still like to make it but not sure if I'll manage the much longer trip with kids in tow.

Is "CL' clearances or clangers? If it is clearances, nine to Jack is quite impressive. Indeed, his stats suggest his non-naming in the best half-a-dozen may be down to the tried and tested handicap system they seem to use in naming the best. 11 tackles and 10 inside 50s suggests he was very busy.

The relatively low differential between total disposals of the two teams, compared to the score differential, shows just how meaningless basic disposal totals are. Looks like the Lions were messing around with lots of disposals that didn't actually achieve much.

Clearances.
