Score review in the spotlight\"Luke<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the point of having a review system if it\u2019s not used to decide contentious decisions? Geelong goal farce cost Geelong 4 points. Watson decision whilst not costly should have been overturned. Let\u2019s just go back to \u2018the umpire decides\u2019 . If they\u2019re wrong so be it. <\/p>\n

– Phillip<\/p>\n

The score review system is again a topic of conversation, following Friday night’s match between the Blues and Cats.<\/p>\n

Ex-rugby player to make AFL debut\"Luke\"Harry(Getty)<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Harry Kyle, who will make his AFL debut for the Swans this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Kyle grew up playing rugby union and basketball, before switching codes and coming through the Swans academy.<\/p>\n

“Harry has worked hard for this opportunity, and it’s a terrific reward to see him make his debut on Saturday afternoon,” Swans coach Dean Cox said during the week.<\/p>\n

“His development over the last few years has been impressive and we’ve been really pleased with the progress he has made since being drafted.”<\/p>\n

Among other milestones, well done to the Swans’ Hayden McLean, who is playing his 100th AFL match.<\/p>\n
