Apparently Rayner, Parks and Kannan are playing so looks like 3 changes from the original 23 named.
Bastinac, Allison, Hinge, Frost were the 4 omitted from their senior team.Last edited by ugg; 29 June 2018, 10:01 PM.Comment

So the 3 withdrawn are Fox, Robinson and Towers. It could be injury but I?m guessing with the short turnaround to Thursday?s game the Swans have to be conservative and hold these 3 out of today?s game in case they are needed for Geelong
With the effects of Heeney?s concussion yet to be fully determined, that could be one spot that could be offered to one of these three.Comment

Q1 over @swansreserves 2.0 @LionsNEAFL 2.3 (15)
Goals: Marsh Kannan
Lions: Stackelberg Starcevich
Lions started well but Swans have pegged back the lead. Competitive game so far. Reid and Melican have not yet seen action, been warming up on the sidelines.Comment

Halftime
@swansreserves 7.2 (44)
@LionsNEAFL 3.5 (23)
Goals: Reid 2 Bell 2 Dawson Kannan Marsh
Lions: Stackelberg Starcevich Wooller
5.2 to 1.2 that quarter. Stats were slightly in the Swans favour but we took our chances whereas the Lions had a few shots at goal not score.Comment

I'm quite enjoying the game. Quite intense, with the Swans applying plenty of pressure. Reid with two goals in the second quarter, after sitting out the first. His first was a soccer, around twenty seconds after coming on. Dawson has been making his presence felt in close. Newman getting plenty of the ball, but making more skill errors than usual. Bell has done a few flashy things on return. Amartey spending a fair bit of time in the ruck and looking pretty good, with some fairly agile second efforts.
Probably should run away with it in the second half.Comment

Think Stoddart and possibly Styles are done for the day.Comment

Dawson is a lovely kick for goal.
I'm also impressed by how many of the toppies that I've seen this year, do seem to fit right in. Though it's a bit hard to say who is really firing, since their identification by the commentary team, seems only marginally better than random chance.Comment

watched the last 1.5 quarters and I thought it was pretty pedestrian stuff. Both sides obsessed with the outer boundary line. Both Reid and Melican need a couple more runs in the 2's. Dawson looked ok as did Cameron and Amartey, the rest were pretty ordinary. Like the ones the forwards were mostly behind their man.Comment
