No wonder the AFL dont want a reserves comp...

Why?

Imagine the smashings that teams would get every week..... the AFL couldnt gave that.... especially if it was one of their babies like Suns/Giants

They wouldn't want the embarrassment each week. The VFL teams would beat the Swans Reserves by 100 points

Doubtful.

You obviously haven't seen any NEAFL games, it is a beyond pathetic comp. None of the NEAFL sides would get near the VFL, WAFL or SANFL sides

Swans 136
Gold Coast 36
3 quarter time NEAFL preliminary final

Surely this deserves it's own thread.

It's in the swans thread because the swans are playing.

Why isn't it also in the Gold Coast thread? Mind you I'm not sure if anyone even cares enough to have created a Gold Coast thread.

Seen a fair bit. Pretty poor standard. But the Swans are well above everyone else.

Yes they are but I'd bet North Adelaide would go through undefeated playing in the NEAFL

Strong rumour going around that McVeigh will head to a Melbourne based club for a season before retiring and taking up a coaching role.... Bit like what Mitchell did with west coast...

Re-signed for 1 year

I certainly hope they take it as easy as what everyone is expecting tomorrow

If they do take it easy tomorrow they win by 57pts

Sydney Swans champion Jarrad McVeigh will line up in his 300th AFL game in Friday night’s semi-final against Geelong at the MCG.

McVeigh will become just the fourth player in Sydney Swans history to play 300 games when he runs out in the do-or-die final.

The 32-year-old will join Adam Goodes (372 games), Jude Bolton (325) and Michael O’Loughlin (303) to have already achieved the milestone with the red and white.


The veteran midfielder-turned-defender boasts an impressive football resume including two Bob Skilton Medals, All Australian and multiple club awards.

He was appointed captain from 2011 to 2016, sharing the responsibility with cohorts Adam Goodes (2011-12) then Kieren Jack (2013-16), achieving the ultimate success with the former by leading the side to the 2012 Premiership against Hawthorn.

McVeigh’s remarkable rise began when the Sydney product made his debut against Brisbane in Round 1, 2004 – a game in which he collected 12 disposals and kick one goal.

He has played against Hawthorn more times than any other club – 26 occasions to be exact.

The smooth moving on-baller soon showed an ability to play at both ends of the ground after, in the latter stages of his career, transitioning into a role in defence.

His calm and composed leadership in the back half has been widely praised and credited for the Sydney Swans’ resurgence from 0-6 to finals contenders.

Friday night’s semi-final against Geelong will be his 27th AFL final, taking him to outright second on the list of most finals appearance by any South Melbourne/Sydney Swans player.

Goodes (28 finals) heads the list, followed by McVeigh (26), Jude Bolton (26), Ryan O’Keefe (24) and Ted Richards (21).

McVeigh recently signed a new one-year deal to remain at the Sydney Swans, which includes a pathway into coaching when his playing career ends.

Any "Bloods" reference yet this September, or too early to roll that one out?
