On the AFL website Rampe is listed as out "rested".

Half-time in the NEAFL practice match against the Swans and we trail 5.4.34 to 5.5.35.

Great to see Rory Lobb and Aidan Corr in action for the first time this pre-season, while youngster Aiden Bonar has performed well.#NeverSurrender pic.twitter.com/BtGHPTQ355

From a fan on Twitter:

Listed 6, 21, 30, 47, 25, 42, 45, 32, 41, 39, 46. Think thst's it. Under 18 guy in the ruck with Amartey both very brave despite overmatching.

Thanks @KiamaChris

Full time. 11.7.73 to 8.7.55. Decent standard game in a pretty big wind. Be interesting to see who the coaches nominate as best. Pretty even performance.
Swans closed out the game with great defensive effort from all 18.

The 'final teams' published on the AFL website a few minutes ago lists Rampe as an absentee and in the playing squad! Final teams: Sydney v Greater Western Sydney - Final teams: Sydney v Greater Western Sydney - AFL.com.au

Yeah this backline is reminiscent of the one that went into the game against Cats, without Rampe. I don't get how you can pick such a small backline against such a huge forwardline. just mind boggling. This reeks of a coach that is trying to invent a new philosophy on playing backs. that is give them the huge height advantage and get flogged. not happy about this line up. I would have liked to see something more of Tom McCartin and had a look at how Maibaum handled the AFL ranked talls. But I seem to think Maibaum mist have died or had a long term injury. After all this is the time you try things. but this coach ain't trying much just setting up a situation where we get flogged because out backs are far too small to compete. ala Cats final. Not a good practice match at all.

Are there premiership points at stake......?!
