Squad's For NAB Cup Round One Clash vs Kangaroos
Well as expected the Swans named a pretty weakened line up for their Round One NAB Cup clash with the Roos in Canberra on the weekend. From the 27 man squad that will be cut to 24 by Saturday, we will have only the 7 Premiership players promised by Roosy and 8 players who are fighting it out for selection in the senior team come Round One. Don't have an idea who the three to drop out of the squad will be, but wouldn't be surprised if Craig Bolton was one of them, but in any case its not going to be a huge issue that will cost us the game.
We aren't going into it to win it and from the look of the two squads named we certainly won't. Still I expect a solid showing from our kids simular to that put up against Essendon a week ago.
Kanga's by 15 points.
Sydney Swans squad: Luke Ablett, Ed Barlow, Craig Bolton, Ryan Brabazon, Amon Buchanan, Paul Chambers, Paul Currie, Sean Dempster, Stephen Doyle, Stefan Garrubba, Heath Grundy, Kieren Jack, Matthew Laidlaw, Nick Malceski, Ben Mathews, Jarred Moore, Ryan O'Keefe, Simon Phillips, Adam Prior, Ted Richards, Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Sam Rowe, Jonathan Simpkin, David Spriggs, Kristin Thornton, Luke Vogels, Jame Wall.
Kangaroos squad: Hamish McIntosh, Jonathan Hay, Brady Rawlings, Daniel Harris, Shannon Grant, Adam Simpson, Daniel Wells, Jesse Smith, David Trotter, Kasey Green, Leigh Brown, Andrew Swallow, Drew Petrie, Corey Jones, Nathan Thompson, Michael Firrito, Ed Lower, Sav Rocca, Brent Harvey, Daniel Pratt, David Hale, Eddie Sansbury, Ben Schwarze, Shannon Watt, Joel Perry, Josh Gibson, Leigh Harding, Brent LeCras.
Adopt-a-Swan Update: McVeigh and Fosdike weren't named in this weekend's squad and thus I get off having to right out a report on them. Still its a pity I would like to have seen this squad with both playing in it.
