I felt very confident that something good was going to happen when Dattoli got the ball in space.Comment

Great to get a win, after looking like being blown away in the first quarter. Pretty well everybody contributed.
Cleary and Warner got us going in the second quarter. The defence looked much more secure when Fox arrived in the second quarter. Kirk was solid all day. Mitchell and Bowman provided some dash out of defence. Florent did some nice things, but had a couple of costly turnovers. Green is increasingly influential in general play. Francis did really well providing a marking target. Dattoli and Hanily made North pay when it hit the ground. McNamara did some good things on debut.Comment

Beating North Melbourne is doing my head in. 8 goals in the first quarter and it looked like a training drill for North. Then 5 goals for the rest of the match? Green in the ruck was great and Dattoli, yes now I am a fan,did some seriously classy work. Even Bowman down back looked good. Clearly was our best player.Comment

My best on ground was Cleary - excellent in close with quick decisions and neat disposal, doesnt make 70m passes but operates within his limitations and works relentlessly. Was frequently opposed to Wardlaw, so there were no easy touches for him.
Bowman was really good in defence, even won a contested 1-on-1, marked well and provided plenty of drive. He looked lost earlier in the year when forward, I wonder how much of that is development as opposed to playing forward in a dysfunctional team?
Lastly Dattoli was classy and rarely wasted the ball, also worked and pressured well up the field.
Should also note that Andrew and especially Snell battled manfully all day - North had three big bodies in Trembath, Maley and Tarrant, so to keep them to 4 goals was a fair effort.Comment

By the way, the debutant, Tom Forrest, was listed as being 189cm, but I suspect that they got the 8 and the 9 mixed up, and he's actually 198cm. In the footage of them singing the song, he's next to the 194cm Snell, and he looks a few centimetres taller than him. I thought he did some good things and wouldn't mind seeing him get a couple more games. It also seems to me, that McNamara might have grown a bit during the season and that he's a little bit taller than his listed 186cm.Comment

Riak in strife for a homophobic slur.

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I took the time to watch a replay of the game and in the first quarter Green got absolutely smashed in the ruck. I suspect one of the coaches pulled him aside at quarter time and suggested a change in tactics. Green was very effective from that point on. Hopefully another learning curve in his development. He certainly was the only ruckman we had who could provide a contest.
I agree with the other comments that Fox added stability to the defence which also helpedComment

Isn’t interesting the difference a few experienced players make to the development of young players. Earlier in the season due to the obvious injury crisis in the senior team, there simply was no on field leadership, and did this show out. It must have been demoralising for the young players to be getting thrashed every weekComment

He’ll learn, hopefully, because he’s young. Not an excuse but there’s time. The most fraught and educational part he will experience is sitting in front of the AFLW side, where players are openly gay. Footy clubs are good places and this is a chance for something good to happen.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
