It's a hiccup of the hamstring
And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along. -
Other clubs have got injuries including hammies to key players. Bevan is not a key player unless of course one refers to Canberra.Comment

Good to hear, but who is the bloke saying this? As far as I recall, the Horse was one of the unlucky ones to miss out, not only in 1999 but also in -erk- 1996.Sean Dempster has continued on from his good running form that he showed this time last year that really set him up for a good season last year so hopefully he is in for a better season this year," the 1999 Kangaroos premiership player said."It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.

Re: Why I hate preseasons
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the sounds of that!!!Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.
Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!Comment

One of my few pet peeves about Swans players. Can't the coaching staff just say to him - if you get tackled, don't just lay there like a deceased goose!?Originally posted by ROK Lobster

He never seems to move once tackled - it's bizarre.Comment

What's with the bagging of The Horse. Last time I looked he the Assistant Coach of the Premiers.Originally posted by BeeEmmAre

Can't be that much of a hopeless judge of form. He's very careful when interviewed, even boring, but he's astute enough I would have thought.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

I just love seeing the word "premiers" associated with us.The hard sessions will continue throughout the NAB Cup to ensure the premiers will be in the best condition possible for round one of the home-and-away season.
Bring on 2006.Comment

However the 99 GF was Longmires last game of AFL footy.
Certainly not his best game.

Before the 2004 season I listed him as my love child (based upon his furious efforts in the 2's in 2003).Originally posted by ROK Lobster

He played 24 games and finished the 2004 seaon as our best first year player.
Whatever the reason 2005 was a case of the second year blues., he was dropped a few times and spent a lot of time on the bench.
However I think it's a little early to be losing hope for him. ROK is correct about his getting caught and his 'over-exuberance' in the tackle can also be an issue (he's on the wrong side of the free kick ledger).
In 2004 he played a bit up forward to reasonable effect (he's not a stylish kick but he's more accurate in front of goal than Monty) but in any case Monty took his spot as the defensive forward.
He's struggled a little down back, and while I don't think he'll ever be a free-wheeeling-ball-distibuting-half-back, I see signs that he may (with time) prove effective as a rough-em-up small defender.
Back pocket players often take a while to settle down there and frequently improve over time, and with many Sydney kids, their development is often retarded by the poor standard of competition in this city.Comment

I agree on the free-kick count and think he's too defensive.
Re HTB - how on earth from week to week, even qtr to qtr, are players meant to know how the rule will get interpreted. Bevo's not Robinson Crusoe on that front....
He was very hardly done by in the PF agst the STK in that free given to Reiwoldt.
Oh no - why did I start talking about finals umpiring!!!! Sorry everyone

I find it a little ironic that at the the same time as a thread is building about how Schneider was prematurely dismissed as being capable of making a decent contribution, similar comments are now being made about Bevan.
I think Ruckman is spot on. Not every player displays a consistent development curve. Indeed, most young players have both ups and downs over the first few years of their careers.
The fact is that Bevan had a super first season in the seniors, finishing in the top 5 in the B&F. If every player who didn't go on with things straight away was discarded, the Swans wouldn't now have the likes of Brett Kirk or Ryan O'Keefe or Amon Buchanan on their list. The likes of Daryn Cresswell and Andrew Dunkley would be obscure names in the annals of players who never made it, rather than inscribed on T of C honour boards.
I have no idea at this stage whether Bevan will "make it" in the longer term. However, he's certainly demonstrated enough raw ability thus far to deserve perserverance with him. Fortunately the club seems to agree.Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
