Not as a forward however. They are playing a defensive forward on him who is doing a terrific job.
Need to release him, but it isn't going to solve the forward line problems. Especially given I doubt it is likely that we will see Francis back either, so that's another tall out of the team for the second half.
In other news - reckon Macca is in trouble yet again with that Silvagni incident.... sigh.
A much better effort that quarter - but it is a scrappy old game. Probably our best hope to be honest in turning it into a real grind. Sheldrick doing well (Shocking miskick included ha!) and getting plenty of it, but we need more from some of the other midfielders. Our poor quality disposal however really is hurting us badly.
Oh and SCG Trust/Venues NSW or whoever the hell it is these days. Yes its rained plenty up there, but the field last night next door and the field tonight are dreadful yet again. Not near good enough."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I suppose that quarter was better than the first, in that a few more of disposals actually went to our advantage.Comment

It’s an improvement from last week, I’ll take it.Comment

Scrambling goals by us. They look super organised in defensive structure compared to us. Our defense is atrocious. If we had to fix 2 things in the off season, we had to fix one on one contest and defensive structure and I think we have gone 10 steps backwards.
and as a result of that our offense looks poor too when the game opens up for us.
the slow game is suiting Sheldrick. He won’t be the one getting by so many disposals on a fast deck. I would have dropped Corey Warner rather than florent to the bench.
I can give the cop out to the team however. I think this team now looks like they are broken after 2 grand final losses and a coach change who is new too makes it even harder for them to find rhythm. 10/10 for trying but the swans soul is somewhat lacking.Comment

The challenge with releasing Blakey will be Hamling is actually keeping Weitering out of the game. It’d require Chad or Heeney to play full forward permanently, as you don’t want him roaming around. I think the punt is worth it though.
And unfortunately. I reckon McInerney gets a week for the clip on Silvagni.
i think we’re doing ok around the contest, and our pressure is up, but they look a bit more fluent at times on turnover.
With Francis out, time for Ollie to step up.Comment

Sheldrick is doing more than ok. He’s leading all-comers in metres gained and tackles, and the equal disposal winner. And from my spot midway up the IReilly, that kick to JMac looked completely intentional!Comment
-
Sheldrick and McInerney have 16 disposals to half time, more than any other player.
Is Sheldrick a wet weather player?"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Haha the commentary trying to say it was a 'gift' to Heeney that goal. Yes it shouldn't have been a free and so it was a gift for the opportunity, but it was hardly an easy opportunity."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Does anyone ever check the swans boot stops ?.Last week we were slipping over costing us goals, this week its far worse at our home ground .IN my days we used to change our boot stops according to the state of the ground . Errr I must admit that was at least 55years ago..Comment

The conditions definitely help him I think, but he is working hard. Hope he gets a decent crack of several weeks - I remain circumspect on him, but if he could get 20 or 25 touches each week, it would certainly assist with getting a bit more contested footy as a team consistently.
It certainly didn't look too intentional on replay ha - definitely appeared to be a miskick. But happy for him to claim it was intentional, he is having a good crack"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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 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.
