Swans VFL 2023

[ugg]

It would have to be upset of the season if we were to win today. Werribee are on a 14 run winning streak

And with no Buller to give our forward line a focal point.

Clarke is playing, despite spending a bit of time on the ground last night.

Ladhams is seriously a dope.

Yep first quarter, first 50m for dissent.
Sorry gloveski, but Mensa's ankle is not his only problem.

All Werribee early, but more competitive later on. Normal service has been resumed umpire wise, with a 9-1 count to Werribee at quarter time. Roberts, Warner and Melican possibly our best.

Anyone know who kicked our first goal in the second quarter? I was checking the West Coast score at the time and the apps aren't telling me.

Gee the umpires are savage with their bias towards Werribee. Its good to see Ladhams doing some ruck work. One observation is the Swans Players love to score a goal for themselves. Gould have a ping from 40 m when a handball to a player running past would have been a certain goal and Kostansky decided to have a ping from 50 m when they was 2 to 3 better options about 30 meters out. Teamwork guys!

Yes, umpiring is doing my head in. 19-4 to Werribee. Are we supposed to believe, that their VFL listed players have a superior understanding of the rules than our AFL listed players?

Pretty sure Rider kicked one that he hasn’t been credited with in the stats.

Saw there was a fair bit of biffo at the end of the 2nd quarter with Ladhams involved. Not sure if there was anything serious about it (looked fairly mutual but intense to my biased eyes) but Werribee got another free and a 50 from it

Ta, thought it might have been from seeing it out of the corner of my eye. Whoever is doing the stats seems to be having trouble recognising our fringe players. Some of them were on no possessions at the end of the first quarter, when they definitely had possessions.

West Coast still in front.

[dejavoodoo44]

Free kick count up to 29-9 at three quarter time.

I noticed Rankin kicked 2.1, which is odd.

For anyone watching: did they move him forward in the second half? Any chance they are thinking of him as a small forward understudy with Papley out?

This is a neat finish: https://twitter.com/VFL/status/16931...FG9_UFqRA&s=09.

Five tackles.

If we need to find someone to replace Papley, a left field idea might be Lachie Rankin, who was sent forward in the final quarter, kicked two skilful goals and narrowly missed a third on the final siren.

Great minds.

FWIW I quite liked the Warner Brother's game.
