JLT 2019 Game 2: Swans v Suns @ Lismore 1:10pm

How dumb is Clarke? I hope Horse hasn't promised him a game.

Melican and Reid are both bordeline for round 1. If Reid can't ruck its hard to pick him if Buddy is fit. Mills just starting to look better.

Really disappointed we have moved Mills back to the half back flank. If we are going to improve as a team he MUST play in the position he dominated in as a junior, and the reason he was selected as a pick 2, an inside midfielder!

And Papley has looked fantastic so far, except when it's been time to dispose of the ball.

Grundy now on Wright after Melican's struggles.

Well.....it only took the Suns half a quarter to work us out.....as opposed to a full quarter like last season and we all know how that turned out. Extremely disappointing after a promising start.

Time to extract thy collective digit.....

We're 50 disposals ahead atm.....and just two goals up. Lots of ineffective disposals? Sounds familiar.....

Well, that's one way to get Reid into the game. Thanks, Charlie.

Neat play from Clarke in the pocket. We are looking good out of centre clearances.

McInerney gave a lovely little shepherd then in the pocket to clear the way for Clarke to gather and kick it to Papley. Really smart kid!

He is. I really like him already.

Clarke can certainly find the ball. Good goal by Blakey

Papley looks good on the ball, his run has been excellent. I can see him becoming an elite midfielder of the competition over the next few years.

Jones looks sharp. I like him much better in the midfield.

Yep, lack of maturity has held him back a bit, but he's growing up.

Agreed. Papley looking very skilled and has always had good pace.

If he can work on his dipsosal he could be a real weapon. But I think we msy just have to live with the fact that he is inconsistent at best with his use of the ball, similar to many of our recent great midfielders in Hanners, Kennedy and even Parker at times.

Agree that Jones has looked good in there too. Hopefully he can lift to another level this year also. I remember him having a period a few years ago dominating at NEAFL level as a pure midfielder so hopefully he can do it at AFL level now too.

Jones, Aliir and Papley have been my highlights thus far. Aliir, in particular, is showing some real nous as a makeshift ruckman.

However, I think we need to bear in mind that the contrast between this week and last has a lot to do with the opposition. Gold Coast have the pace and skill to punish us when we turn the ball over (as we did, poorly,on several occasions in the first quarter). But their midfield pressure and defensive structures/nous are a long way short of GWS's.
