    And how good is it to watch a game with no commentary, just crowd noises! Nice to hear the Swannies supporters getting behind the team!
    Made heaps of errors and were against a lot of bigger bodies but never gave up. Sign of spirit in the club at least.

      Yes, a victory, but not much to celebrate. Some really poor kicking, even from some of our better kicks.

      COR was the only one who looked an AFL player, yet, as has been noted, he made his fair share of errors as well.

      Blakey showed his class at times, but didn't have a particularly strong game.

      Melican, again, as noted earlier, is way off his best. I'd put Pink ahead of him atm. It's a worry.

      Reynolds is no chance of making it past this year. I have to disagree with both Liz and Ugg, who have made some favourable comments about him.

      Kyle McKellar is one tough kid. He might have a chance.

        It's, hard for first year players and toppies in their first few games. For a start if we are playing any non-aligned side like Redland it is, a, case of boys v men. Very difficult for these kids in their first year. This can make the delivery a bit scrappy as they realise how hard real men hit. If the scrappy disposal continues into the mid season then we have a problem.

          Ling looks very quick and creative with the ball. Same with Stoddart.

            Yes, a good spirited win in the end. Plenty of helpful contributions from the academy kids. Brewer produced a few commendable efforts; especially a score saving smother. Kyle McKellar was pretty consistent. And having watched Hamish Ellem a bit in the NAB League, I'm forming the opinion, that he's at his most dangerous when he roves his own spilled mark. Opponents just don't seem to expect him to both get to the ball and get rid of it so quickly.
            Of the listed players, I thought that Wicks battled really well as a midfielder, while Foot spent more time in there than usual and also did pretty well. Though it probably emphasises that we are a bit lacking for inside mids, as both of them only weigh 73 kilos. James Bell continued his good form, while Stoddart and Ling looked classy when they had it. Reynolds also showed some poised coming out of defense.
            All up, a good effort to prevail in an often grinding game.

                Though I don't recall seeing Ling in the final quarter? I hope it was planned limited game time, not an injury. Also, as well as his obvious skill set, he doesn't mind throwing his weight around, even though he doesn't have much weight to throw around.

                    I wonder what is wrong with him. He was fantastic last year. He cant be injured otherwise he wouldn't be playing. I wonder if it's a confidence or match-fitness issue.

                          Re: Melican. He was injured most of last year; you must be thinking about 2017, when he did have a fine year, playing along side Reg.

                          I was looking forward to seeing Melican and Aliir playing together, something has hasn't happened often.

                          Melican seems to have reverted to the way he played before his breakout in 2017.

                            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.

                              Indeed, but didn't he go to North?
