Players mentioned for the Swans:- Logan McDonald - ankle surgery, not resumed full training, progress "delayed".
- Hayden McLean - groin, resumed team training this week.
- Jesse Dattoli - back, will resume running in 2 to 4 weeks.
- Will Edwards - broken leg, will resume team training in the next month.
- Jack Buller - shoulder, sidelined 2 to 4 weeks.

Thanks TS. From the above injury list it seems only Hayden Maclean will be ready for the opening round. The rest will have delayed starts to the season, which is a shame as it will put them right behind for senior selection, particularly the latter 3 who i was hoping to see pushing their case.
Can't afford any injury setbacks during these shortened preseasons, so I can't understand the calls from some to start the season even earlier in February!
On the flipside, i"m anticipating Sheldrick, Cleary & Corey Warner to serously push for regular games and have breakout seasons.

Four of the five injured players are taller players and the players you mentioned are not the same kind of player.
Players that I expect to be considered for selection while the tall injured players recover include Hamling, Ladhams, Andrew, Francis and Snell, all taller players. Green may get a debut this year.

Hi TS, It wasn't my intention to insinuate Sheldrick, Clearly & Co Warner would replace any of the injured players, my apologies if so. Just they would (hopefully) have breakout seasons.
However i do agree with your list of potential replacements for the injured talls. Would be exciting to see Andrew, Snell or Green make their debuts. Riley Bice may also get his chance in defence.

Yes, I tend to think that Sheldrick or Cleary stepping up, could be essential for us having a decent season. Both are hard at the ball, inside mids, and contested possessions are an area that we need to improve on.
And if I was forced to pick who would be our most improved this season, I'd probably go for Snell. He has plenty of pace and skill, and some of his VFL form reminded me of AJ.Comment

I'm open to expirement with our forward line, which includes Hamling, as i recall Eade saying post GF that it was one of our downfalls that we didn't experiment enough in season.
I know it was dead time late in the GF, but when i saw Blakey moved to the forward in the last quarter and take a nice mark from a strong lead, i was screaming in frustration from the stands why Armatey & co had failed to even attempt so all day!
I would personally prefer Blakey over McCartin tried up forward, but any experimental change up is worthwhile.
We really do need Logan to have a breakout year which i think he's capable of. I think Armatey needs to exploit his athleticism further rather than engaging body contact where he gets knocked off the ball too easily.

The AFL website has reported on an interview with Dean Cox about where everyone is at.
Players mentioned:
Logan McDonald - will see surgeon this week. Is running in training. Won't be ready for round zero.
Hayden McLean - rejoined main group this week.
Tom McCartin - mentioned as a possible forward option.
Sam Wicks - mentioned briefly as playing behind the ball.
Callum Mills - has had a good pre-season. Played injured in most of the seven games he played last year.

- 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.

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
