    Pleased that Maibaum is doing well, as he had a wretched run with injuries while he was with us. Haven't seen him yet, but a couple of ex-Swans that I've seen in the VFL this season, are Zac Foot and Ryley Stoddardt. Foot is playing well for Southport and I was really impressed with Stoddardt, when I saw him play a game for Frankston. When he was with us, he seemed a bit fragile for AFL, but he appears to have added a bit of bulk. He was also moving beautifully and almost every time that got the ball, good things happened for his side.

    I imagine the three of them would have some chance of a return to an AFL list, via the midseason draft.
    Yes, it would be great to see both Foote and Stoddart get another shot at it.

      Foot or Foote? (Or both, though I suspect time is running out for Foote.)

      Ling is another reportedly playing very well this year at VFL level.

        Side v Coburg named. With the VFL game on tomorrow, I guess if the medi-sub for tonight doesn't get used, will still get to play this match.

            That's a very strong VFL side we have. Even our captain is back in the side.

              Was just about to comment that it's great to see Gulden back.

                For as long as I've been watching the reserves since the AFL Canberra days, if a player wasn't a key position player, they would spend a good amount of time in the midfield at Reserves level even when they rarely, or in some cases never, would get a look-in in the midfield at senior level. Brandon Jack, Nick Malceski, Nick Smith, Andrejs Everitt, James Rose, Patrick Veszpremi, Dean Towers, Gary Rohan, Nathan Gordon, etc. etc.

                So yes I would assume Campbell will get a run in the mids tomorrow.

                  I agree with your observation, however for some of them the midfield in the neafl was a graveyard. I recall Dan Robinson and James Rose always killing it in the neafl midfield but then struggling big time to play a pressure forward role in the seniors. Unless a player is badly out of form and just needs touches, he should play in the position he expects to play in the seniors and work to show he is ready. Whilst the media might put 30 touches in the midfield up in lights, history shows it doesn't seem to impress the coaches that much.

                        Its right near the corner of Bell St and Sydney Road. A good quality ground that was part of the old VFA competition. Coburg have produced numerous AFL players over the years. Robbie Fox from our current list played there.

                          I have positioned myself right next to where the Swans coaching team should be so, it will be interesting to hear any gems from them. A good smattering of red and white spectators here.

                            I'm interested in how Robbie plays today. We could use some more aerial presence down back

                              Swans on top early with first 2 goals. Stephens, Roberts going well early.

                                He is out there. I'm currently right next to Corey and Roberts. Both look very fit! Good skin folds. We are killing them early. Funny to see us dominating the midfield after watching last night. 4 goals to zip so far.
