The stars are aligned (in multiple ways), The Swans are ready to run
for the whole four quarters, we have multiple goal scorers and targets, the group and coach are so happy, relaxed and bonded.
It wont be a blowout, however The Swans will win this granny
by 25 points .
So bring it on and run, run, run and then some !

Unchanged side with Rampe named as captain. Brisbane have brought in Fort for the injured McInerney.Comment

Which is why clearance isn't as much of an issue for us as some suggest. Richmond were never much good at clearance but they still dominated the competition for 3-4 years.
Losing clearance only becomes an issue if the opposition's clearances are so clean they can take it down their end and kick goals. Otherwise the game moves into different phases where our ability to create turnovers into play and, more importantly, our ability to really punish teams when we create those turnovers.Comment

I'm happy with the team being unchanged.
Wonder if we might be tempted to bring Fox in and start as a defensive forward on Andrews for instance, and Campbell to sub.
Halfway to Melbourne, stopping in Albury tonight before finishing the drive tomorrow. Nerves kicking in a bit but I feel a genuine calm this year. Just want to see us get stuck in from the first bounce,.and get the game played on our terms."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I can see the value of Fox starting, but not as a defensive forward on Andrews. I imagine that after modest success in a similar role on Aliir last weekend, they will start with Parker trying to keep Andrews occupied. He has the benefit of being a forward threat himself, in way that Fox really isn't, which might help in keeping Andrews somewhat accountable.
If Fox starts its because we need a medium forward to play on Ah Chee (though he may try to keep Blakey quiet) or Rayner or Bailey or Lohmann, alongside Rampe and Roberts. I'd rather have Fox in such a role than having to push Lloyd or Florent back. They've thrived this year playing further up the ground. And if they're further up the ground, that probably pushes Campbell out to be sub.
I guess there are lots of possible permutations.Comment

Instinct tells me we won’t have a say in Ah Chee on Blakey. I suspect he will stick to him like @@@@ on a blanketComment

While I agree with the GF team selection and the non selection of Taylor Adams, I find this a little insulting to him:
"Sydney midfielder Taylor Adams has missed the extended squad of 26, with Peter Ladhams, Caiden Cleary and Aaron Francis the Swans' emergencies."
Team balance etc etc, blah blah.....but still, he's probably not feeling too great or appreciated at the moment for his 19 games of service that helped us win the minor premiership.

Totally agree StevoSwan. I feel the selection of the GF team is spot on (with no Mills or Adams).. but I agree wholeheartedly that Adams has been somewhat let down .. unless his head just wasn't in the right place and didn't train the way the coaches wanted him to. It would be pretty difficult to have this heartbreak two years running. I hope that this does not have a long term effect on him...
For what its worth, I would include Fox in the run on team.. and have the lever of Braeden Campbell as a sub .. as a in case of emergency break glass situation (as in the Giants game).Comment

I think you can safely assume that if Ladhams, Francis & Cleary are ahead of Adams then the coaches have a good reason for it. It's a big game, no free passes.
It's more bad luck for Mills. He is a long-time soldier for us and his exuberant reaction after we won last Friday said it all. Millsy is a good egg. Hopefully the Lions are
spent after sneaking thru two weeks in a row. If we show up, we should win.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.
