TheBloods boy Gus Sheldrick won a brilliant one on one contest reasonably late that set up our last goal! Did some really good things and looks like a winner draft selection! Fingers crossed!

Gould and McLean impressive.
There was some really physicality and contest in this game
And I think it was Harry Morrison who took my eye with one clever finishComment

Some classy moments like the one you remarked on and tough as nails to go with class...I have no doubt about how good he'll be. For the short time I watched he was a standout. Big draft win.

I thought Amartey was one of our best. Cunningham was very solid, except for some miffed kicks early in the game. HHK playing HBF looked very good in all aspects of the game. Corey Warner continues to put in solid performances.
Ladhams had a huge day in the ruck and had a whopping 30 disposals. Not bad for a ruckman. His kicking wasn't always up to the rest of his game. He does get into the play though, and wins plenty of the ball.Comment

With Melican out injured,Hugo Hall-Kahan was sent to the back and performed well with 26 Disposals 14 marks. He was agile with good work rate. He has lots of potential to further develop. Ladhams was good too, would we try to play him together with Hicky against the Saints?Comment

I don't think messing about with the structure one week out from finals is the way to go. The only way Ladhams is going to get into the side was to replace Hickey. A few weeks ago I think this was possible from a form point of view but Hickey's had strong performances in the past 2 games and will hold his spot. Plus Reid is performing incredibly well both as a forward and in 2nd ruck duties.Comment

For all those who are interested, it’s the final round of the Reserves (VFL) this weekend. The Swans currently sit 4th on the ladder (one win and a hefty % off second). Melbourne (1st & undefeated) play Brisbane (2nd) so big wins by the Dees and us could mathematically get us to 2nd - if Southport also, unlikely, lose to the lowly Coburg) or 3rd … which means we won’t meet the all conquering Dees in week 1 of the VFL Finals. We play the 5th placed Hawks who as snapping at our heels (only 1 win and 2.9% below us, so they have plenty of incentive to beat us too! Collingwood (6th) and the Suns (7th) are also only a game and % behind the Swans so will also have plenty to play for to try to catch us (Collingwood play the 8th placed Carlton who are only a game and % behind them, so that will be a cracker; and the Suns - who are well down on % play lowly North which could be the % booster they need to be potentially equal 2nd on points at seasons end!).
Incredible final round of the VFL in terms of top 8 sides playing each other an impacting on the final standings! And all of the games (except Collingwood/Carlton) are being played within a few hours of each other (ours being last of the group) so we I’ll know what we have to do for the best finish to the VFL home & away season.
I’ve been watching the reserves quite a bit this season - it can be streamed for free via the AFL app (I mirror it to my TV via the AppleTV box).
Given that both our seniors and reserves are potentially well placed for finals, the reserves players are still vying for senior opportunities at the pointy end of the season, so should be champing at the bit for good performances.
I’ll be watching from 12:30 AEST Saturday via the AFL app!Last edited by goswannies; 20 August 2022, 03:28 AM.Comment

And having just checked the Hawthorn injury list, theirs is a fair bit longer than ours. So we should be favourites this afternoon.Comment
