    Agree. I really hope ET doesn't get dropped this week so he can play in front of his family and friends!

      I'm not a fan of having a culture of gifting players games just so their family can see them, regardless of where we are on the ladder.

        I can't imagine the club would do that. Surely we are a bit more professional than that.

          ET has gone from not being out there to getting to contest after contest in just 3 games.

          He even had a few slingshot moments.

          3 games people, done some silly things but he is a "tweener". Athletic enough to contest for a high ball and athletic enough to get a ground ball.

          He was in 2 minds a few times about which one he was doing, when your like that you can look silly, he just needs to jump at everything when he get a run at it.

          That takes confidence, something he is building after ONLY 3 games.

            There was talk a few weeks ago that he might be available for the derby, but seems that was optimistic. Now we're back to "no time frame" for his return.

              Think there was a lot of wishful thinking on RWO, me included

                  At least I knew he was out there, hard to say that about Gray, Squiz, Ronke and Warner.

                    Good post. He was far more stronger at the footy last game and got involved more at contests. Possessions don't always tell the story. 3 games indeed.

                      He was shocking and incredibly soft in the contest.

                      This is not to say he won't make it, just he needs to learn to play Swans footy in the reserves before being gifted more senior games.

                        On the fence about ET. There was certainly 1 or 2 highballs where he seemed to shirk the contest. There was also a goal he set up in the last qtr through his second and third efforts on the deck.

                          Aliir has lost his confidence and strength again. He may regain it but perhaps Mclean can replace to help Sinclair against Mumford / Jacobs. I don't mind trying Gould and let Ling to consolidate his experience through practise /scratch match.

                            He's finding his way. Let's keep him going.
                            He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                              Getting to the contest is over half the battle, he is doing that, the rest will come with confidence

                                Totally agree with ET... he will be a gun.. just needs to have 10-15 games to receive some confidence and then explode. Mickey O in the making
