Swans VFL 2023

[Mountain Man]

I guess that Carlton decided not to bring up sufficient players - but a pity not to see our players get a hit out.

I would have come down for 2 games, but maybe I'll just be lazy and watch the boys on TV

We've just recruited a 25 year old forward, who has played close to 200 VAFL games, most recently for Balwyn Tigers: Sydney Swans have recruited dynamic Balwyn forward Charlie Haley to join their VFL team | CODE Sports. I can't see behind the paywall - but if you can I'm interested to know more. In particular I'm curious to know his height - not the be all and end all by any means but certainly of interest.

A bit more info about Mr Haley, and no paywall with this one:

Birds of a feather?

VFL boys playing GWS VFL side this morning. I guess I will have to to look at the GWS website for a report as Swans haven't even acknowledged the game. Oh well

Yes indeed, thank goodness for the award winning GWS media team, where would our club be without them.
Maybe when we were recruiting Trusslove, we should have been raiding their media team. Forget any weekness in the ruck, it's our media team that's our biggest achilles heel.

Result?

[rb4x]

Have no idea on the result but saw Cadman got six.

[ootf]

Didnt see a scoreboard but well beaten. Cadman was on fire in Q3, looks very promising. Amartey was the main likely forward, Warner looked ok in midfield, Sheldrick found the ball but disposal not good. Owen looks like one to work with.

Great snaps once again ootf. Many thanks.
