    I was really impressed with Rowbottom (Nico - just for you ????) yesterday. Great attack on the ball, excellent 2nd, 3rd and even 4th efforts, stuck his tackles and he really lifted when the North midfield were starting to gain some ascendency in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. I have absolutely no concerns about his trajectory this year, confident he will play most of the season in the AFL.
    I have just seen the replay and he was impressive. I thought the whole team attacked the contest well.

      [QUOTE=bloodspirit;839138]Haven't heard any commentary about McAndrew's game on the weekend but I saw an impressive 2nd effort in the highlights reel that led to a goal. Can anyone offer any commentary?

      McAndrew only came on late in the last quarter. Did some nice things including that highlight goal. Had a smile when the commentators said that he was too skinny to go in the ruck. Next ball up McAndrew was in the ruck. "Stretch" did OK for very limited game time. I don't know if he played in the VFL game as I have seen nothing on that match. Ronke also came on late and they said he played a half earlier in the VFL game/

        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

            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????

              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.

                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.

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

                        Yeah, looks to be missing the 4th quarter!

                        Kayo sub resolves it.

                          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.

                                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.
