My take from today's game is that Roberts is destined for the seniors as soon as his fitness is the standard we need. He has the skills and a great left foot.
    Still shocked why Clarke is playing seniors and Roberts stuck in the seniors. I watched Konstanty and gee he reminds me of Papley. Would it not be good to have two Papley type of players in our forward line in 2024!

        Good to hear Kostanty starting to show the talent he has. Some fans around the place already had written him off after 2 seconds flat.

        Get a good pre season into him and see how he goes in 2024.

        Nice to finally see a big win for the ressies in what has been a tough season for them.

          The last 2 weeks the reserves team have been amazing. Next week Gold Coast who are on top of ladder and following week they have Werribee who are second on the ladder. That will really find out where they are.

            This is the team for tomorrow's game against the Suns, which is scheduled for 9.45am at the SCG.

            B: L. Melican (43), W. Gould (17), W. Edwards (28)
            HB: L. Rankin (41), H. Arnold (38), J. Magor (32)
            C: C. Mitchell (35), C. Cleary (65), C. Warner (37)
            HF: J. Bartholomaeus (53), I. Kirk (54), H. Hall-Kahan (45)
            F: J. Buller (47), J. Konstanty (18), P. Ladhams (19)
            R: L. McAndrew (46), H. Morrison (55), R. Clarke (4)
            INT: C. Owen (40), N. Hawkins (59), T. Gander (56), L. Cabor (68)*, M. Rider (66)
            EMG: J. Tidemann (63), M. Geddes (61), C. Webster (62)

            IN: R. Clarke, N. Hawkins, L. Melican
            OUT: M. Roberts (AFL), N. Shipley, C. Webster
            NEW: Ned Hawkins, 18, 181cm, UNSW-Eastern Suburbs/Swans Academy

            Nice to see that Melican has had a quick recovery and I like that the academy contingent of Cleary, Kirk, Gander and Rider are still getting a go. Another academy player, Ned Hawkins, is making his debut. Not sure if he's quite got the class to be drafted, but he has played some useful games on the flanks in the Talent League. Unfortunately, Shipley appears to be injured again. Which is a shame, as he's done well this year.

            Gold Coast will be hard to beat, as they haven't got much of an injury list, and they've added to their depth, by giving a debut to Ethan Read, who pundits pick to go top ten in the draft.

              Same people were also writing Sheldrick off as well.

                Not sure anyone wrote either player off, just questioned their selections on a needs basis

                Fact is they’ve both still got a long way to go to prove themselves as long term afl quality players, but that’s to be expected from first and second year draftees

                  I'd have thought raising questions or expressing doubts is pretty intrinsic to a forum like this.

                  Anyway, back to the ressies, today will be a big test, lots of height on both sides.

                      Whoops, I forgot to include Cabor in the academy contingent.

                        Ben Long is playing on Buller which feels like a big mismatch

                          Thought that quarter was a bit more competitive than the score suggests. Possibly the major difference, was that loose balls in the Suns forward 50 bounced towards their players, while in our forward 50, the loose balls bounced away from ours. Although, it'd be nice if we hit more targets when moving the ball.

                            I think it's actually ex GWS Steen on Buller. But Long and Buller seem to like roughing each other up.

                            I'm used to the Swans losing the centre clearances, with this is horrible.

                              We are getting destroyed in the rucks, giving our mids little chance. Moyle is senior material and Read is the best ruck in the draft. It's a bit of a wake up call if Ladhams and McAndrew are our hopes going forward.

                                They definitely aren’t my hope! Hence we need Grundy or another good ruck.
