2nd preseason game v North

[Ralph Dawg]

Agree , liked his running , see how he keeps going to get the next possession in the chain , Jmac like . Sorry Mcinerney like . He 's the perfect fit for this team and how we play , glad its coming together for him

For me, he's ahead of Campbell if it's purely about a spot on the wing.

Yes, he has certainly developed himself physically which was badly needed. I remember when Jarrod McVeigh was a skinny runt who was easily pushed aside. Look how he turned out! Stephens even stuck a couple of good tackles against Norf.

Certainly agree with you he looks like he has grown physically and mentally and the ball is now in his court to stake his claim for a regular place in the team this year. A few people have questioned his worth given he was drafted at number 5 and hadn’t in some minds delivered. But not everyone can walk straight into the seniors and hold their own
Pretty excited about the future given he had just turned 21 and probably still has a bit more growing to do.

Not much mention of Stephens , considering the pressure was on him . He was fantastic yesterday

Swans chat 2nd preseason game v North

I've just sent an email to the AFL telling them about this (this is my first post - long time lurker, very shy poster!) - about the 77 minute incomplete match replay posted on their website.

[Bloods05]

Has he ? Yet another pronouncement of fact based on your opinion.
As many have stated on numerous occasions they are quite different players and we should have room for both of them.
Looking at the numbers from yesterday they both had good games and returned very similar stats so I am not sure why Chads “other level” is apparently so much higher than James?
Please explain????

No please don't.

Although, it only goes for 1 hour 17 minutes, so not quite a match replay from the AFL.

[Edits post conflating 117mins with 1h 17min!]

Yeah, looks to be missing the 4th quarter!

Kayo sub resolves it.

Please could someone post a link to the replay? I'd love to watch it and I can't find it. Best I've found is this version posted by Riles Macca on YouTube: Sydney Swans vs North Melbourne - AFL AAMI Community Series 2022 Live Watch Along - YouTube. It's something like a Twitch stream with him watching live and adding his comments.

Hey BS

On Kayo

And I believe afl.com

[bloodspirit]

I have just seen the replay and he was impressive. I thought the whole team attacked the contest well.

Maybe I’m a bit slow and grumpy - but can I please ask posters to use players’ actual names? It may be clever to use abbreviations for the various players whose names start with ‘Mac/Mc’ but it’s damn annoying having to stop reading to work out who you are referring to.

And in any case, I think they are all ‘Mc’ not ‘Mac’ which makes the Mac abbreviations even sillier.

I remember when I first joined RWO and posters were writing about B1 and B2. I had to ask for an explanation. B1 was Jude Bolton, B2 was Craig Bolton.

Watching Chad in the 1st two preseason games he’s gone to another level and has settled the argument in the Chad v Rowbottom comparison.

Agree mate
Very composed the week before against GWS
Probably struggled a little with 10mins or so vs north to flow with the team but he is a serious one to watch because he can play and fit into a surround team due to his calm decision making and reading of the game

He is also pretty well built for an 18/19 year old and played in the SANFL last year
