How good is this GWS report of today's scratch match (objectively and for GWS fans)?

Here is the update on the Swans players. The Swans' public relations staff were all sacked, so I'm filling in. No Complaining. I'm doing the best I can on limited resouirces.
Riley Stoddart
“He just continued his strong development off half-back. He put together a great pre-season and had a good eight weeks off and it’s another positive step to push towards AFL at some stage this year.”
Chad Warner
“He was strong inside, he just keeps getting better and better inside the contest. He was strong, tackled well and his hands were clean.”
James Bell
“It was good to get a full game into him and get him to show what we know he’s capable of. He played a great role on the wing as the most senior bloke in the midfield. He was able to provide good leadership and direction and get his hands on it himself and use it as we know he can.”
Chad Warner
“He responded well after missing out on senior selection this week. He took up a bit of a leadership role in the midfield early. He attacks the ball, always. He’s a strong tackler and is able to get forward as well. He’s running as well as he ever has which is a benefit of the eight weeks off.”
Ben Ronke
“Another one that fought back through being dropped and came with the right mindset. We know what we get with Zac week-in, week-out and he proved again why he’s an AFL calibre player.”
Ryan Clarke
“‘Ryan’ was rock-solid and continues to show why we trust him. He’ll be pressing his case in the next few weeks.”
Matt Ling
“He played a lot of footy for us last year and continues to be a model of consistency and he’s ready to go when called upon.”
Jake Riccardi
“‘ He had about seven or eight shots on goal, and is a developing key forward that is benefiting from a good pre-season and a good eight-weeks off. If you can run as a key forward, you can create opportunities. You’d love to be playing in the midfield because every time you look up he’s coming straight at you.”
Jackson Thurlow
“He worked hard all day and got some benefit on the scoreboard. He’s another one who has continued to take a step after getting a taste AFL last year. He’s booming along and ready when called upon.”
James Rose
“He started slowly in the first five minutes but when he lifted, we lifted. They kicked three of the first four but he took it upon himself at the centre bounce to really lift and his follow-up around the ground was outstanding. It was great to have a big man that can join in as well as provide a contest and give our mids first-use, he just got better and better as the game went on.”
Tom Derickx
“It was the best game I’ve seen him play in Swans colours. He has power and speed inside and he was clean. He brought teammates into it and used the footy as well as we could have asked.”
Harry Reynolds
“He continues to develop into a really strong wingman for us. He does all the team things, all the one-percenters and fundamentals and he’s starting to reap the rewards on the offensive side of it. Another one that will continue to keep pressing his case as the year goes on.”
Dylan Stephens
“He’s probably right there on the brink for AFL selection and he brought that AFL level of intensity and work-rate. He’s benefited from the eight weeks off and is running better than he did in pre-season. If Bobby gets to more contests he has more of an impact because he’s a quality player."
Barry O'Connor
“O'Connor continues to develop down back holding up that key defensive post. He was able to play tall and small today. He organised, continues to chop out and help his teammates and is taking another step on his AFL journey.”
Zak Foot
“He had an interrupted pre-season and lead-in so he’s benefited from the eight weeks off. He’s come back in and worked well in the back group, he reads it well and can mark it and he’s one that the more footy he plays, he’ll keep pushing to get back in like he did last year.”
Nathan Buckley
“He gets better and better every time he plays football. He’s running well, he’s quick, he’s clean and he’s launching at it. His ball use is getting better and better every week.”Comment

Somehow I just knew before I started to read the above post that Tom Derickx would get a mention .... [emoji3].Comment

What a pity the Swans can't do the same, some things GWS do so much better than us.
So for us keen to know about players outside the 22 - silence!Comment

In unsurprising news the 2020 NEAFL season has been cancelled
No NEAFL in 2020: Has the competition played its final game?
I assume this means that the non-selected Swans will be playing the non-selected Giants for the rest of the year.Comment

We can only play and interact with others in the AFL quarantine bubble so that of course means weekly games against GWS unless we go off to a hub at some stage when we could play a different AFL opponent.
Looking forward to Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon and Hawthorn being sent to a hub in WA. Just as likely as flying pigs!Comment

Its really going to hurt us and the Giants, only playing each other in friendlies every week.Comment

It sucks when you consider that in Melbourne they can play scratch matches against a much wider variety of opponents. Still I suppose the SA, WA and Qld teams are in the same boat as us.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
