      I think you may be right. personally I think a game in the 2s might be good for paps too. and a bit less time pranking his dad.

        Papley really was so anonymous again today. It'll click for Paps at some point but we are getting so little out of our small forwards this year in general - we need it sooner rather than later

          I've expressed this a few times the last few weeks. McLean is a liability if he isnt clunking 2-3 contested marks a game and kicking straight. Has no flexibility. Where Amartey is a lot more athletic and better below his knees. Plus I think he has been impressive as the backup ruck in previous games - not sure why McLean is getting a run ahead of him

          However I think this week I'd drop McLean for Hickey and try out the double ruck combo

            Ladhams and Hickey resting up forward or Amartey up there has to be better than one trick pony McLean. McLean had 5 possessions.

                  From the AFL website

                  The veteran ruckman, who hasn't played since suffering a knee injury in round three, had 27 hitouts, 23 possessions and kicked a goal to show he is ready to return to senior action next week.

                  Colin O'Riordan (30 touches), James Bell (26) and Lewy Taylor (26) were also strong contributors.

                    O'Riordan looks like he has found touch. He is a strong bodied defender with good closing speed. We couldn't do worse than bring him in to release Campbell to the midfield. Campbell is a hard nut, quick and kicks it a mile. We need him getting the pill in the midfield and forward of the centre.

                      2. Scroll down, pass VFL Match showreels. and then VFL Mini Matches.
                      3. Then you will see VFL Macth Replay
                      4. Use the right arrow button to find the Swans Game (8th listed match from the left)
                      5. Or go directly to VFL Match Replay, R3: Port Melbourne v Sydney
                      So has anyone got any ideas on how to watch the (cunningly scheduled to clash) match from Saturday.

                      I've tried both of the above. On the mobile site, all I can find is the mini-match. On the desktop site, I can see full replays for four games but only the mini-match for ours.

                        Cancel the above. I went back to look again and our replay seems to have now appeared. (Or I was blind previously.)

                          Unfortunately, the availability of the full VFL game replays are often delayed for around one or two days. So don't check too early.

                              The commentary kicks in around the end of the first quarter. I don't think there's any commentary available before that.

                              Bangalore, you should check out Corey's first quarter goal - a little bit Chad-dish.

                              Yeah, the whole match replays don't show up for a day or two like Aaron said.
