We're bombing in hope up the line with no tall options, if we have a team of short arses then we need to put it in low and fast.

Blustery conditions, but the field kicking isn’t great.

O’Brien is moving well which is about the only positive so far.

QT Swans 2.4 to Dogs 0.3. I don’t see why we would promote Sweet given his performance that qtr. Nice touches by O’Brien and Raak across half back.

Wally and McComb working hard in the clinches and good to see Garcia harassing his opponents. West getting the ball a bit as should be expected at this level.

Makes you realise how short our squad is when you look at this lineup.

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.

Schache fwd this qtr

West’s ball use is well below the standard expected for an AFL player.

Yep… the cupboard is bare, but hey we’ve got a thousand flankers & mids to choose from!

And Schache gets our first goal

Ball movement better this quarter. Butler moves so much like Williams with the upright posture.

Nice kick to advantage from Wally to find Schache in space too.

Yeah we've got McNeil, Garcia, West, McComb, Jones and McLean who are all largely interchangeable in the high half forward role Scott and Vandermeer are playing, but nothing aside from Schache as a backup for a key forward.

An easy goal to Swans from the goal square - we failed to kill the ball. Swans 3.6 to Dogs 1.3 10 min gone

Re: VFL Round 1 - Footscray vs Sydney 2022

How do three players not manage to knock a *!*!*!*!ing ball over their *!*!*!*!ing goal line in the goalsquare. We never intentionally knock it through at AFL level either.

Re: VFL Round 1 - Footscray vs Sydney 2022

Sweet gets his 1st touch and kicks it along the ground… No thanks.
