      Quite a tall side. Conceivably could have 4 key backs and 4 key forwards plus the ruckman although you’d suspect Ladhams won’t play the full game.

        Clarke is playing this game.

        Looks like Francis isn't, Geddes in for him. I assume they've taken him as a precautionary measure now that Melican is out.

          This is the tallest Swans side ever.

                Yeah too many goals to Dogs on my stream - but otherwise it's fine.

                Buller working hard, Arnold & Rankin fairly composed in defence otw not much.

                  Its almost like we have no defence. Some many options for Footscray with players all by themselves. They seem to run around us like we were witches hat. They have been very poor.

                    Lol , working ok now . Also liking the work Buller is doing . Arnold looks ok also . Gallagher looks a real classy player for the Bulldogs

                      Buku Khamis looks too good to be playing VFL. 4th year player with on 9 games, none this year. Out of contract too..

                      Have we retained possession with any of Stephens' kicks so far? I don't think so. He either can't kick on his right, or is afraid to try, but his left foot kicks aren't producing much.

                      Gould is splitting time both forward and back. Looks good most of the time. Kicked a goal. Has hand on his head a lot, but not sure why. He's a hard player to figure out. Looks like he should be AFL material, but also seems like something is missing, but not sure what it is.

                      Rankin continues to play well and kicking better this game. Developing nicely.

                        Gould has the football brain of a peanut. Just gave Footscary an easy goal again.

                          Only got to tune in at half time, but Buller continues to impress.

                            A number of players having mares. Lots of dumb stuff. Some players look lethargic or disinterested.

                            Stephens plenty of kicks which are usually smothered or turned over.

                            Lack of medium players a problem, we are too slow.

                            Buller a standout; logical replacement for Bud or McLean if they miss.

                            Arnold having more influence in this game but to no avail.

                              Apart from Buller the rest look a sad lot. I could not believe how easily they stepped around the Swans Players. Watched Toby McLean waltz around 3 Swans player like they weren't even there and snap a goal. I hope we will do some serious draft picks at the end of this year as the 2022 lot seem well below the standard.

                                A sad lot indeed. The same words came into my head.

                                Can't see any trade value in either Stephens or Gould. They will probably just be delisted. Luckily we got Chad in the 2019 draft. Otherwise, what a bust.

                                I don't like bagging rookies, but Edwards looks a long long shot at best. I can't decide on Arnold yet. He did a few nice things.
