He is fine, could have played on last week
Cleared to play long before selection
I'd suggest after Mills injury not many were striding out for a Captains run.
Hearing Neale couldn't even do a Captains run, severely hampered, talk if him doing a tagging role and Dunks playing attacking MidComment

I am not sure Parker is at all useful for Harris-Andrews. Aliir was far taller than Parker but still manageable. But in the one on one marking contest Parker was outgunned. He got Aliir on the lead and kept him out of the contest. Harris-Andrews will not be drawn by Parker & is 6cm taller than Aliir. No matter what Parker does Harris-Andrews will not be drawn out of the contest because he is too wily for that. I would play McLean on him with instructions to keep him honest & get the ball to ground where the small & mid size forwards can clean up. That would leave Payne on Amartey, which is a match up they won't want because Amartey is going to be far too agile for him. That means Lester will have to play on McDonald, although Horse might send Will to Lester as he is their most dangerous back. He is more dangerous than Zorko because he is also a good tight defender, who is a super interceptor & starts their manic plays with super delivery. It was he who kick started their rebound play last week. Get parker the match up of McKenna. He will destroy him in the marking contest. Isolate Luke in the pockets.Comment

Did you see how much pressure the Cats games had? The pressure gauge did not even hit AFL average in the Eagles game. In the Port game not much better. They had an easy run in the H&A season. Made the finals on an early run against bottom & mid ladder sides. The Cats were an average team who over-performed this year. The Lions should have given them a real hiding. But went missing at times. Talk about us not having good starts. They go missing for half a match. Lucky to get away with last week but talent & a couple of surges got them over the line.Comment

Rumours around that Medals are going to more than just the players on game day, maybe the Squad.Comment

Most of the modellers tipping the Lions for some reason:
But they all agree that it will be close.Comment

Honestly can’t see that fatigue and McInerny being out don’t play a part for the Lions.
We got rolled in 2016 but also went the long way around, got shafted by umps, had unfortunate injuries in the prelim and during the game.
adamant our best gets it done.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

It wont be that close. Swans win this game by 4 -6 goals.
For one v sound reason. They wont be bombing on the head
of just one (marque) player .Comment

Cautiously optimistic
Our best has been the best all year
Healthy team, our top end is unrivalled, well rested
They are outside the 4, well travelled, lost a ruck a few others limping.
Im hoping we show up early ans put these blokes awayComment

I wouldn't read a lot into squiggle at all this season. It has a Matty Stevic sized love in for the Bulldogs all season, then it was the Hawks, then it was Port, now it's Brisbane.Most of the modellers tipping the Lions for some reason:
But they all agree that it will be close.
It is usually a good model, but this year it's been pretty awful."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I watched the entire 'GF Coaches and Captains' press conference on youtube this evening and the questions went in order, to: Chris, Chris, John, Chris, Chris, John, John, Chris, Harris, Dayne, Chris, Harris, John, Harris, Chris, John, Chris, John, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Harris, Dayne.
16 questions to Brisbane (12 to Chris, 4 to Harris), 8 to the Swans (6 to John, 2 to Dayne).
FFS, the Victorian footy media do not hide their ongoing disdain for the Sydney Swans do they?
Much like 2016, I'm sensing a 'fairytale' vibe for the 'Fitzroy' Lions.....and two of the umpires tomorrow, Stevic and Meredith, were part of that stitch up in 2016.
I don't want to be a pessimist and I have every confidence that we can and will win......but the umpiring tomorrow will be interesting and under scrutiny.....by us Swans fans at least.
I hope the yellow scum can just largely put the whistles away and umpire this game as true neutrals. That would be refreshing indeed.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.

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
