Swans VFL 2023

[ugg]

VFL list confirmed for 2023: Players confirmed for 2023 VFL Season

Primary List
- Jake BARTHOLOMAEUS
- Will COLLIS
- Max GEDDES
- Ethan GRACE
- Harry MORRISON
- Nic SHIPLEY
- Jake VEALE

Development List
- Hamish MORRISON
- Toby ALKER
- Christian WEBSTER
- Montague VELTHUIS

Not sure what the difference between the Primary List and Development List is. Ethan Grace played for the Giants VFL team last year after graduating from their Academy and was named in a list of possible pickups in the midseason draft last year.

The big name missing is the captain for the past 2 seasons Adam Gulden. The replacement is a 5 headed leadership group in Bartholomaeus, Collis, Morrison, Shipley, and Veale. Veale is an interesting addition, he used to play as a top up in our NEAFL sides quite a few years ago and has since then played in the SANFL with Sturt, back to the NEAFL with Sydney Uni and lately in the local Sydney comp with North Shore.

Thanks for your insight Ugg, appreciated

Great to see Amon back at the club!

He was magnificent all through 2005! And that goal!!

Still no mention on Swans website of both new coaches!!! Not even in the Swans VFL pages. Gee, our Swans digital gurus are so frustrating slow.

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Hard to know whose been dropped and whose went off to pursue other things.
Adam Gulden's gone, but Paplay's pal Collis survives.
And Nick Shipley?

Montague Velthuis appears to have replaced Indhi Kirk on the Development List.

Swans primed for massive double-header

Still no mention of the new VFL coach nor Amon Buchanan as Development Coach on Swans website. Can someone check but it looks like the VFL s
Players are still the ones from last year

[bloodspirit]

ugg has reported who the players are this year. The club has also reported same here: Players confirmed for 2023 VFL Season (sydneyswans.com.au).

Thanks Bloodspirit. I read all that info but it's still not on website for the VFL side. It's as if they don't exist!!!! Not sure if Buchanan is working in his role of Development Coach with both the senior squad and VFL squad

Barry O'Connor delisted by the Swans having another crack at afl with the Giants VFL team as reported by Zero hanger

[Mountain Man]

Do the VFL team have a game this Friday at Blacktown against Carlton?

If so, what time?

[bloodspirit]

Bizarre! According to this our VFL practice matches have disappered: Smithy's VFL practice match schedule (afl.com.au). We don't have one week 2 or week 3 and our next one is in the final round of practice matches (week 4) against the Giants on Tom Wills Oval on 19 March at 9.30 am.
