Bit you have said it otherwise why mention your first point ... A bit disingenuous of youComment

I went to the game. Sandringham were huge, whilst the swans were pretty small. However the swans were more skilled and structured. With Taylor and Clark out the mids we’re much more inside, and despite sinkers getting slaughtered in the ruck, the young mids, led by belly, did a very good job.
The backs were settled and organised with some very disciplined play. Melican, Gould and O’Connor worked well together handling the large Sandringham forwards.
Best game by Warner, good hit out from sheldrick. Hall Kahn has plenty of potential when he gets some muscle.
Armatey was the only tall forward and did an excellent job scoring and bringing the ball to ground.
The swans small forwards, ronke, wicks and Morrison really ripped up the tall defenders. Ronke was solid but is definitely more of an understudy for papley. He just doesn’t crunch tackles. Morrison is an impressive player who tends to stay deep. Wicks, I see had 23 disposals and 4 tackles according to the updated stats. He added some real physicality to to the swans. Often hurting opposition players in the tackle, and producing numerous turnovers. A couple of times players went to him after someone else scored a goal as he had caused it. He looked like he was enjoying himself and getting back to his brand.Comment

I had intended to make that observation too (but hadn't got around to it). I reckon there must have been 100kgs or so difference in combined weight between the two teams.
Agree with you on Morrison. He's been playing NEAFL and now VFL for several seasons, and it's been fun to watch his development (as it is with the youngsters who come through and make the AFL list). He's turned into a very solid VFL player.Comment

Can you kindly clarify whether there has been a permanent change of reserves coach to McVeigh or is this a temporary change?Comment

I think it is only temporary. Laidler together with Pyke, Kirk and some other staff were out per Health and Safety Protocol (COVID) together with the two players. There was no written announcement though. So Tom was the bench coach, Charlie was the runner and McViegh had to be the VFL coach. (By the way, Josh was sitting in the box as a line coach too!)Comment

Coaches votes for the game against Sandringham.
9 Joel Amartey (Syd)
9 James Bell (Syd)
4 Tom Campbell (San)
4 Tom Highmore (San)

Bit surprised that Melican didn't get a vote or two. The four votes for Warner are his first of the season.Comment

At least two of the listed will not play. One as medical sub and the other as stand-by emergency. Possibly Clarke and Ladhams?? (The current listed team a little too tall.)Comment
