TOPIC:

I can't understand why we haven't got 2 scratch matches. The Amateur clubs appear a lot more organised.

Make no mistake,Swans will be raging favourites Round 1. We have recruited not a single player and lost 3 x top end players in Strijk, Riddoch and Chalmers, that equates to 60+ goals a season. If you drop this game it will be a long (shortened) season for the Swannies !

We have lost quite a few players too Leedy to afl, EP & other.
To be honest will just be glad to have some footy back albeit only an 8 game season.


On a completely separate note I hope those shortsighted dingbats from certain clubs who were calling for the season to be canned on here and on the radio some time back have had a complete change of tune and or dont attend this season, that would be hypocritical otherwise!

I think they are only having one and for you guys it is v....theDenons at....Latho on....11/7

Cheers STT.
So another 2 Saturdays of no football before even a scratchie.

Strange. The colts scratchies have been going for a couple of weeks, I think we played you blokes last week and we trounced the dogs today

Yeah DG we have played 2 Colts practice games the previous 2 weekends (not sure about yesterday?) and yet no League scratchie until the 11th? Bizarre!

Meadows is a pretty good recruit Leedy.

Nope, this from the WP thread. He trained with WP briefly when the VFL was called off but went back when it was back on I believe.

Surely we have a game somewhere next Saturday given that there is a P V WP game on at Lathlain??

Just looking through the list of Senior players listed on the club website I have come up with what I think is the best 22 that Swans could put out there. I don't know whether this list is up to date but here goes

1. Payne
2. Bain
3. Hampson
4. Riley
5. Anderson
6. Fisher
7. Ireland
8. Reidy
9. Gault
10. Noble
11. Kohlmann
12. Cipro
13. Riggio
14. Raynor
15. Costigan
16. Blakely
17. Howard
18. Notte
19. Turner
20. Garcia
21. Wilson
22. Waite
I have no idea how these guys have been tracking in training but this doesnt look a bad combination I reckon.

mikeh, if available, I heard Grainger-Barras will most likely be in the 22 and someone who impressed me way back in February in the scratch match against the Eagles was Tarir Bayok.

Meadows returned to Williamstown once the VFL was given the green light to go ahead
