yeah i think ROK, surely come finals we would want pebbles over lloyd, Bjack or even cunners, but giving these guys a good run during the season is the plan

Still no word on what pebbles will be doing next year

Surely he wont be playing at the Swans, and @ 34 years old not too many teams will be knocking on the door?

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- Lewis Roberts-Thompson

LRT was able to wind back the clock with a good game down back. He stayed on young gun and last year's number one Draft pick, Tom Boyd, for most of the day and held him to just eight disposals and one goal. Not a bad effort considering GWS had 55 inside 50s.

Key Stats: Eight kicks, two handballs, two marks

Matthew Dick

Matthew was able to find plenty of the ball in Saturday's game, and although he helped with our ball movement, he still needs to make sure the defensive side of his game is the number one focus. It was pleasing to see him back to his best footy and was good to see him kick a nice goal on the run from outside 50.   

Key Stats: 13 kicks, nine handballs, two marks

Gary Rohan

Gary was a solid contributor again this week. He started the game well and was able to impact the game with his defensive pressure. He was also able to find the ball and had 12 first-half possessions. Unfortunately he was hurt just before half time and was unable to play on.

Key Stats: Five kicks, seven handballs, two marks   

Tom Mitchell

Tom was a solid contributor on Saturday. Whilst he didn't get a lot of outside ball, he was one of the players who tried hard all day and did some good work in and around the stoppages. It was also pleasing to see that he pulled up well physically from the game after being sidelined for a few weeks with an ankle injury.

Key Stats: 11 kicks, nine handballs, two marks, one goal

George Hewett

It was another solid game this week from George. He does have the ability to find the ball and we are slowly seeing an improvement in the defensive side of his game, although this needs to be a constant focus going forward. 

Key Stats: 9 kicks 15 handballs 6 marks 

Doug Hadden

Doug is one of our top-ups who performs consistently whenever he pulls on a Swans jumper. His effort is second-to-none and you know he will always give a contest. He led the team with his defensive pressure and is a favourite among the players. 

Key Stats: 10 kicks 9 handballs 5 marks

I think Melbourne could use his experience, and he can play a few different roles as well can't he?

Could they drop B.Jack or even Lloyd instead?
