Lucky Hawthorn!The Lions are just a week away from almost being at full strength with stars Simon Black and Jamie Charman set to make timely returns from suspension against Hawthorn at the MCG.
So who is going to test out their injuries with a good poke and a prod.Voss will carry four stitches into the match after cutting his right calf in a freak accident at home early last week while Lappin has recovered from a niggling ankle injury.
Voss, will come up a bore sore during the game depending how bad the cut was, IMO, unless he gets a jab. -

I hate the Age's registration / log-in system.
Brisbane first needs to overcome "bogey-team" the Swans at the Gabba on Saturday night before welcoming Black and Charman back to the fold.
Sydney possesses a remarkable record against the three-time premiers having won three of their previous six encounters between the teams.
The Swans' defensive flooding tactics have come under heavy criticism from former players in recent years but it seems to work against Brisbane.
The Lions, usually potent goalkickers, were restricted to just seven goals and 51 points against Sydney in the side's last meeting.
Copeland admitted that Brisbane had discussed the Swans' spoiling tactics but they were confident they could get the better of their opponents in the rivalry-round.
"They bottle it up, like to congest it, get everyone around the footy and make it a scrappy game.

"They bottle it up, like to congest it, get everyone around the footy and make it a scrappy game.
I thought it was only our defence and a couple of midfielders who flood back that cause the congestion. The whole footy world is getting a little bit paranoid and making generalisations.
Tell me who in the forward line would like to play scrappy footy - Hall? O'Loughlin? Davis? Schneider? Okeefe? or Goodes?
I think these guys have enough talent to be able to win the one on one contest - stop giving genuine Swans fans crap about us loving scrappy games when WE have the talent in the forward line!!!!!!Comment

We have the talent but it is not utilised enough because the ball coms in too slowly due to the slow clearing from defense and poor skills of the midfieldVisit my eBay store -

I'm starting to think these generalisations about flooding, congestion and bottling it up can work in the Swans favour.
If every team expects us to play like this then we what happens when we don't? Should we expect the unexpected?Comment

I just get this feeling this week you will see something different.
If Spriggs is in the team, it will mean further running and carrying power in the midfield. Will let someone like Willo to move back to a half back position and hopefully link up with Kennelly & Leo to provide greater rebound and direction from defence. Could even throw in a Fosdike in as well and instruct the team to run em off their feet.
I also hope they select another key marking option as well. Just to give the forward line another target and make us a little less predictable.
For me:
In: Spriggs, Saddington
Out: Bevan, Scheinder

Spriggs may change the game style and give us more run. Good luck to him (and us). But I don't think Leigh Matthews is stupid enough to fall for the common view - he'll accuse the Swans of flooding and manning up while that will be exactly his instructions (or has been in the past).
One bit that will be interesting is that the Lions have decided to go the thug option in the Grand Final and the first two rounds this year. It'll be interesting to see how the Swans respond to a strong opposition playing the mongrel.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
