In his collection of news reports Zachary Gates mentions, in his own report on the ressies, the "Swans Academy enforcer Hamish Ellen". It'd be a while since we last had one of those!

Even though he is often referred to as a "big lump of a lad", I doubt if you could call him an enforcer. In my reserves watching, I don't think I've ever seen him angry. Though if I heard the comments from the bench correctly, in last week's game, his nickname is Hammer.
Having said that, I do think that he's quite promising, with a reasonable chance of being rookie listed.

The nickname Hammer probably refers to his first name ..

I wonder how much of an impact the loss of Rhyce Shaw is having on some of our players? I got the impression he was a major factor for some of them.

I tend to agree.....while pointing out that he's hardly setting the coaches box alight at North at the moment.

I can really not see Zac Foot at Full Back. Like best players position are absolute BS.

[ootf]

Like listing Ronke as NEAFL emergency? Thats quite a drop. Tough assignment for this line up.

[Aprilbr]

Ronke looked like a world beater in the first half of 2018 and now looks hopeless. What a decline! He seems to have no confidence or touch at present.

The 4 senior emergencies are named in the team, COR Rose and Cameron in the 23 and Ronke as an emergency.

What we know is that if the NEAFL game is NOT the curtain raiser at least one of the emergencies will sit out. So Ronke May well be that emergency. However given he is out of form and needs game time it would make little sense making him sit out a week of football (unless he is possibly sore?)

Hi

I'm interested in your views given the great knowledge of NEAFL a lot of you have - J Shumack is on the Syd Uni roster as a rookie but is listed as an emergency for us this week. Out of interest how does this work?

thanks

Making sense does not seem to be forte of the coaching panel at the moment. Taking 4 emergencies to Melbourne last week virually assured that there would be little choice as to who could play this week, given that all 4 lost a week of match fitness and exposed form. Even then, Melican AND Blakey does not figure when you look at the performaces in last weeks game and the deficienceis last week in the seniors. It is mind boggling!

[liz]

They didn’t take four emergencies. Just two.

[5yearplan]

Add another one on their too Belbasis as well on a Syd Uni list, cant see why there is a Team list if they switch teams internally. Can understand top ups outside of a NEAFL listed player but grabbing a NEAFL player from another club really makes a bit of a mockery of the system?

I fear for Ronke as he is a turnover waiting to happen by foot, unless he is shooting for goal. Chronic ingrained technical weakness in his kicking.
