    McComb 24 touches to half time and a nice goal. There's your leading candidate for a promotion.

    Sweet having an absolute shocker.

    Raak done a few ok things down back.

    Jones runs hard but has struggled to have an impact yet.

    West and Wallis busy in the middle but don't really see them performing that role in the seniors.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

      Snap judgments on a 1/2 a game of VFL footy:

      Rhylee West ain’t making it… neither is Jordan Sweet.

        McComb has easily been our best senior listed player. Butler has been decent and I wouldn't be opposed to him being chucked on a wing. As long as O'Brien makes it out unscathed then he's getting a promotion as well. Raak and Khamis have been battling down back but they're having to cover players that tower over them.

          Aside from Schache, O'Brien and two sole rucks there is nothing in terms of KPP talent. Sweet hasn't looked like touching it forward.
          During the trade period I never quite understand why so many people think we have enough taller players, one or two injuries and we are really exposed.

            Add Wally and JJ to that smaller forward list.

              I honestly have no idea what role we have Wallis on the list for, but I don't think we rate him higher than anybody on that list for that role.

                He’s the definition of a list clogger… it’s sad, but he’s that far down on the pecking list it’s not funny.

                    Great running goal to Butler to start 3rd qtr

                      Actually hurt the swans off of a fumble there.

                        Who's VAN DE HEUVEL Smads? Looks like a good mover for a tall forward and has a nice left foot on him.

                          That's why we didn't chase Ladhams, very stupid player who reportedly doesn't train very hard.

                            Bailey Van Der Heuval, Ballarat boy and the brother of the Van Der Heuval that plays for Geelong AFLW. He's better as a defender but I guess he's up forward because we need marking power out there.

                                That was stupid, would have been holding the ball but hands us a shot on goal instead. Not to mention how dangerous it was.
