Dawson and Brown are back, will add to our midfield stocks.
So Fox was injured in last week's game, but surprise, surprise not mentioned in the injury list report.

Pink and Foote are supposedly not injured!!! but not playing either???

[rojo]

Toby Pink has a photo and three stats on his profile page, DOB,.height and weight. He still has no bio. How long has he been at the club? Is this his 3rd year? However, it is the same for Colin O'R. They must feel real special!!

[707]

Appears KJ is the emergency who will travel to Melbourne as all the others are named for Coorporoo. Makes sense given he's only being rested and highly unlikely to be called up to play, barring a gridiron accident on the way back from coffee!

Does anyone know how much COR has been playing on ball, where he's named this week?

[rickmat]

I agree, the Swans treatment of the "other" players such as rookies is deplorable. What message are they sending just to the players when they can't update or even have bio correct or included. CEO Ireland says their social media platform is extremely important. well, how come they can't get the basics right!!!!

NEAFL 2017 Round 10

Redland Bombers v Sydney Swans Reserves @ Cooparoo

Saturday 9th June 2018
12:00pm
Cooparoo

With 4 wins on the trot, and the return of players from injury, the Swans are beginning to work their way up the NEAFL ladder after a disastrous 0-4 start. This week's opponents Redland are last on the ladder, missing a few key players.

The Swans need this win to consolidate their position in the Top 6, with a tough stretch of games beginning after this one. 5 of the next 6 matches are scheduled against AFL reserves sides with the one exception being the tough away trip to the NT to face the Thunder.

Changes
In: Brown, Dawson, Newman, Stoddart

Welcome back Jordan Dawson, last year's dominant NEAFL player makes his much awaited return to the field although it is almost certain like all long term injury returnees he will be on managed time. Jake Brown also makes his first appearance after missing the last 3 games.

Two of the outs in Fox and Robinson having been playing as inside midfielders. Dawson could spend some time in the middle and the other replacements could come in the form of Newman, who had been playing more on the wing before his recall to the senior team last week, Rose who has been spending more game time forward and also O'Riordan who has been giving short bursts in the midfield in order to progress his AFL education. They should join Dean Towers as our main on-ballers for this game.

Stoddart also returns after getting a taste of senior football. While he was used up forward in the AFL, he should return to his favoured spot on the half-back line.

Academy Players/Topups
In: Carroll, Swaney
Out: Conor FLANAGAN (Academy), Kyle McKELLAR (Academy), Josh RAYNER (Academy)

All eyes will be on Stewart after stellar performances in his last 2 games including BOG honours against Sydney Uni last Friday. Stern likewise has shown a propensity to get on the scoreboard. Reinhard has also impressed as a medium sized defender who is good in the air and calm under pressure.

Redland Bombers
In: Edwards
Out: Jarrod HUDDY (omitted)


It has been a bleak season so far for the Bombers but the one clear shining light has been the form of their gun recruit, former Brisbane Lions forward Matt Hammelmann. Clearly leading the goalkicking charts with 31 goals in just 8 games, including a matchwinning 9 goals against the Thunder, Hammelmann is putting a good case forward to be re-drafted to another AFL club. It will be very interesting to see whether Maibaum or Allir gets the job on him.

Another Lions forward Jackson Paine, lies second amongst their goalkickers, just shy of 2 game with 15 in 8 matches. Small forward Aaron Christensen (brother of Lions's Allen) is also into double figure goals with 13.

Ruckman Craig Malone leads the NEAFL in hitouts and at 198cm and 110kg will be a formidable opponent for Cameron and Amartey.

It's in the midfield that the Bombers are struggling with, with the absence of captain Hayden Bertoli-Simmonds keenly felt. Former Lions Academy member Jack Rolls is leading the way in Bertoli-Simmonds's absence, but at just 20 years of age, it is a big burden to carry.

Our PR & Media department is, forgive me for saying, deplorable. No injury list this year, no bios for half the players and no updated bios. Naismith's hasn't changed since his first game. No info, no fan involvement except the fan game experience, no injury news about all the players on the injury list including NEAFL players. No real Swans match reviews, no interview with the player of the week, no player profile of the week.

On the footy side there is no award for best team man that gets promoted. That is an award that was always sought after by players when I played. So many things they could be promoting but don't. So much info we don't get.

[wolftone57]

Thank you Ugg. It will be good to see Dawson out on the park. I wonder if Brown will play mids as they have been playing him this year or in his old role of half back. I like him at half back. tough, unrelenting and tight. He also is a good mark and play on player.

[707]

Thanks Ugg, comprehensive and insightful as usual. Swans media dept take note!

Beauty! Looks like there's a live stream again this week! Interested to see how Dawson goes in his first one and how AJ goes in week 2!

Also does anyone know how big young Rayner is? Looks like a big athletic lad for a 17 year old! Hope he develops like we expect!

Yes, this is bad. Really really bad. The antithesis of club spirit. Smacks of elitism of the worst kind.

Unless they?ve changed something in the last few hours, there?s no live stream for this game.

It's a bummer. Would have liked to have watched this one.
