2nds Official Swans Academy Thread (Player News and Discussion)

Not too bad so far. Harrison having a good game in the middle so far, Cochran playing the intercept defender role, Podmore Taylor doing around the ground ruck. Rider and Ryan tallest Swans players up forward.

Carmichael having a good game off HB as well.

Is there a link to the feed anywhere A26?

I have access. Sweet.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

1/2 time

SA 5.6 36
NSW 6.5 41

SA got a bit of a good run in the early part of the 2nd qtr, but NSW got momentum back, and took the lead with SA deliberate OOB free, and Tom Ryan converting

 

[Adnico26Parker]

3/4 time

SA 8.7 55
NSW 8.6 54

Those SA bastards

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Those SA bastards

Silly turnovers, and SA rolling extra players through probably hurting NSW worst.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Hawkins has done his hammy

Hawkins has done his hammy

Well that sucks. He has been really good in the other games.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Umpires now coming into play for SA

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Full time

SA 10.11 71
NSW 9.7 61

Just got overrun in the last qtr, with NSW losing 2 players for most of the qtr.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Don't know the VFL list rules, but I hope we can get a few of the Academy boys who don't make the Allies side, especially the over-agers, into the 2's - eg. Rider, Podmore Taylor, etc.

 

[bedford]

Playing Sandy Dragons next week away , that will be tough.
Got one from Dragons to watch as well , more later in the week .

Pretty sure we can.

Cleary played a gew last year IIRC.

Tom Ryan gives me big tall fwd converted to key back vibes. No idea why

 

[Adnico26Parker]

If I had to pick our best players from today, it'd be Harrison, Rider, Podmore Taylor, and Andreacchio

Closely followed by Cochran and Carmichael

Macnamara and Chamberlain played themselves into the game in the 2nd half.

For GWS, Delana and Smith were very good

Notes from the weekend’s trial game vs SA:

GIANTS/SWANS ACADEMIES:

#4 Lachlan Carmichael
Defender | 183cm | 27/08/2007

Carmichael had claims on being best afield, certainly in the first half, for his outstanding and dynamic performance in defence. The bottom-ager defied his 183cm listing to soar for a series of intercept marks, showcasing a terrific leap and strong hands to pluck the ball at the top of his reach. Carmichael was also assured on the rebound, distributing the ball with great composure from the kick-ins and when looking to chain possessions further afield.

#6 Joe Harrison
Midfielder | 182cm | 20/07/2006

A midfielder who provided serious drive from the centre, Harrison combined particularly well with Logan Smith to give the Rams early stoppage ascendancy. He sharked the taps and drove his legs to the outside, providing strong spurts of run and working hard to follow up on his clearing kicks. Such clean work and chain running dried up in the second half as South Australia turned the midfield battle, but Harrison was certainly a force when on song.

#8 Max Rider
Forward | 187cm | 28/08/2005

Rider only had a few moments throughout the game but made them count to finish as his side’s sole multiple goalkicker. The over-ager snatched a mile when given an inch, taking full toll off a pair of turnovers in the forward half before backing his burst speed and converting truly on the move. He moves quite well for a taller player and can make things happen in a flash, so perhaps may get another chance to go around with the Allies this year.

#16 Ned Hawkins
Midfielder | 187cm | 07/09/2005

While he had his day cut short by what looked like a nasty hamstring injury in the final quarter, Hawkins was one of his side’s most effective midfielders. He started on the inside but got going out on the wing in the second half, launching a terrific running goal in the first minute of term three. Hawkins’ ability to accumulate possessions and drive the ball forward proved an asset in both halves of the ground, complimenting his strong work on the inside.

#25 Harrison Podmore-Taylor
Ruck | 200cm | 03/02/2005

Solid as ever through the ruck, Podmore-Taylor provided a more than capable chop-out for Smith and really got going after half time. His third quarter was massive, with the 200cm over-ager impacting in the air around the ground and having little trouble getting his hands on the ball. He played the basics quite well and showed strong ruck craft to impose himself against less experienced Croweaters.

Scouting Notes: South Australia vs. Giants/Swans Academies

South Australia overcame a combined Giants and Swans Academy side in the first of its two Under 18 trials. We took note of the top prospects.
