Player Focus:

Each week, the Sydney Swans development coaches, Josh Francou, Jared Crouch and Nick Davis will highlight the performances of some of the Swans' NEAFL players.

These players are those who contributed well on game day, made improvements or played a significant role for the Swans.

NEAFL Player of the Week - Tim Membrey

Tim was the standout player in the Swans reserves this week. His game continues to improve with each outing and he is now one of our most consistent players. He looks sharp on his feet, communicates well with the forwards to help set up structures and is consistently hitting the scoreboard having eight scoring shots again this week. Tim also has been spending time in the midfield where he doesn't look out of place.

Key Stats: 15 kicks, seven handballs, nine marks, three goals

Ryan O'Keefe

Pebbles played on ball and spent some time forward this week. He battled hard all day and was again a solid contributor. He worked hard inside and was able to give our runners some good supply. It was pleasing to see Ryan finish off well in front of goals with two majors.   

Key Stats: eight kicks, 13 handballs, four marks, two goals

Mike Pyke

Saturday's game was Mike's first game back following a four-week lay-off with a hamstring strain. He was the dominant ruckman on the ground getting his hand to the ball at stoppages and using it well to advantage by giving our on-ballers first look. He did spend some time forward, where he was able to mark strongly and generate two scoring opportunities.

Key Stats: Five kicks, seven handballs, five marks, 47 hit-outs

Brandon Jack

BJ played the first three quarters on the weekend then was rested as the emergency for the seniors. He has spent more time on ball over the last two weeks and has not looked out of place. Although he did have a few wayward kicks, Brandon was able to find plenty of the ball and looked sharp around the contest.

Key Stats: 11 kicks, 16 handballs, four marks

George Hewett

George had a solid game this week. His form has been progressing steadily and he has been spending more time forward and on the wing as he learns new roles within the team structure. There are a few areas of George's game we are working on and it has been pleasing to see him trying to implement those things on game day.

Key Stats: 13 kicks, 10 handballs, four marks, two goals

Zak Jones

Zak played in defence for the majority of the game but also spent some time on-ball where he was able to find the footy. At times he did over use by hand but had a solid game and is improving each and every week.

Key Stats: 13 kicks, 17 handballs, four marks

Hows about Lockyer! He's in inspired after hearning about the interest from West Coast ;)

[Mailman the 2nd]

Yeh I was just looking at some of the trades last year and comparing. Like Crameri went to the Bullies for a second-round pick. Thats why I'm thinking Membrey is worth a 3rd rounder

Not sure Crameri is a good example. He wouldnt make the Swans team atm either!

Haha yeh I'll pay that. I was more heading down the path of a decent performer vs an unproven kid. Especially when this is suppose to be a strong KPP draft

Letting him go cheap is definitely a risk from getting buddy

Membrey unlucky to miss out

Emg
Zak Jones, Tim Membrey, Gary Rohan.

[Mailman the 2nd]

I actually think Brandon Jack doesn't work too well with the green vest, although its such a hard and often unrewarding job that everyone struggles

[CrowsFan]

Zak Jones to get a game any time soon?

With Towers out injured i think Zac will be used as a emergency in the coming weeks

Well you were spot on there ;)

Interesting listening the Footy Show hearing Luke Ball saying that the way Kennedy is going at the moment, he'll end his career with a good 200-500 more contested possesions than anyone in the AFL

If he keeps going the way he is then GAJ has a challenge on his hands for the Brownlow

Pyke out, Rohan in.

No Membrey.

Sydney pls.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Must have something to do with the rain imo.

We got touched up against North at the SCG when it poured down so I think they want another crumbing mid/forward.

Rohan has the advantage of being a strong mark as well
