Gerard Healy on SEN last night said he'd be staggered if Horse had a serious fall out with Parker, after going through a tough period getting back into the side from injury & suspension whilst the team was flying. He went on to stay that he would still play Parker ahead of Adams at start of next season had he not gone to North, stating Adams needs to work earn his spot back. They were hoping to speak with Tom Morris but he wasn’t available.
They also interviewed Andrew Pridham, which was mostly going over what was already covered at yesterday's pressers. However, the question was raised whether Longmire"s new role will be under the soft cap with consideration also given to senior assistant role being filled. Andrew just said he didn't believe it will be an issue without elaborating any further.Comment

The most emotional & intense player meeting i've seen recorded at the club. The faces on the players said it all. Good to see Horse's family also present plus Basil Sellers & Peter Weinert. Big day for Horse & all Swans fans. One for the Archives.
P.S. Roos has a statue. Thinking whether the naming the new Training HQ after Longmire is a fitting tribute, considering the "Pass The Baton' motto hanging in the facility was his idea.Comment

Out of interest, I assume it means we have an assistant coaching position to fill.
Happy to be corrected, but I think we now have M McVeigh and Matthews as assistants, J McVeigh as reserves, and I think Buchanan is in a development role.
So 'if' that's right, either someone gets promoted, or we go seeking fresh talent. (And I'm assuming JMcV isn't going to get promoted back, given part of the logic was giving him the opportunity to run his own program as someone seeking senior coaching opportunities himself.)Comment

Since he was once my favourite player, I wouldn't mind seeing Tadhg back in our system. I think he's still the Giants academy coach, so he could be open to an offer that might have a bit more prestige. Though he'd probably want some sort of guarantee, that he won't be let go if money gets tight?Comment

This came up on my facebook. Horse farewelling each of the players individually.

Many would think the 4th GF loss played a part in Horse's decision, what state of mind are the players in?Comment

Speaking of Grand Final losses, could I go off on bit of tangent here?
Which of Horse's Grand Final losses bothered you the most? For me, the thrashings hurt for a short time but I was quickly able to focus instead on the great seasons that led up to them. However, I seethed for ages after the 2016 GF loss to the Poodles and it still annoys the hell out of me. Just seeing Luke Beveridge's face is enough to bring back the anger.Comment

I think it was way past time. I'm pretty sure he knew he couldn't get any more out of this group. He had done as much as he could & was out of ideas. He said that 18 months ago he had a quiet word with Harley & Pridham that 2025 would be his last. But after last GF I believe it all caught up with him & the stress became too much. This is what happens. It's a hugely stressful job. No coach is ever safe. Take Norm Smith 5 premierships & they sacked him, all because he & the President didn't get on. We would like to think it is far more professional today. But is it? Take Essendon & Melbourne. Good examples of how it can go wrong. Oh & Dees were the ones who sacked Smith. Nothing much has changed there.
Swans ARE a professional club. They are inclusive & they are in the NOW. What needs to happen now is the boys get on with it & win the next premiership. The goals should be;
1. Fix up the midfield
2. Win first quarters, then win the rest. Finish off with a full sail
3. Blood the players who need to be blooded
4. Get the Forward Set Ups right. The personnel are good but the set ups are all wrong. WE NEED A SPECIALIST FORWARDS COACH. MATTY LLOYD? DERMIE? JOSH KENNEDY?
5. Get hard. Destroy teams who are there to be destroyed. Bludgeon teams who are in the fight
6. BLOOD THE BACKS
7. WIN, WIN, WIN!
That's it really. Not much to askComment

Same with me....yes it hurts when we don't turn up but the opposition however does and I can then accept that we were beaten by a better team on the day....even if we may have been the better team over the season....but when we are the better team full stop and are then robbed of a deserved flag like in 2016, that hurts more than anything. The 2016 GF will haunt and bother and anger me to my grave.....and because of it, I will hate the Bulldogs until I die too.....and the umpires who stole it from us.

I think the Adam Kennedy in question was the former inaugural Giants player. A bit of a hard nut.
In hindsight, maybe some of those questioning Horse's ongoing capacity weren't completely off base.Comment

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
