His danger in front of goals is probably not the greatest, but I was really impressed with his play on Saturday night. Glimpses of great skill, but in general, a great work ethic.
As for work ethic though, how good is Barry Hall? At the very end of the game he's still way up past midfield contesting ball! Great haul and unbelieveable hard work from the champ!Ar aghaidh chun bua 2007! -
He still commands the opposition's second best defender though, although he got Fletcher the other night.
It's just a shame he can't kick straight."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

That seems a fair summation of where the Swans are at at the moment. I think the term "third string" would be better stated as "third forward" or "number three forward" behind Hall and O'Keefe.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I've always thought of MOL as a makeshift full forward (and Leo as a maeshift full-back). Isn't that what we recruited Ted for? So it's not really surprising that these guys can be caught out on the odd occasion.
Mol's yipps makes me wonder whether MOL feels the responsibility of full forward a tad more than is good for him?Comment

In my view Micky O played his best footy in 2003 at full forward. He still had his nimbleness, could take a high mark, could crumb the packs in a roving role. He was impossible to play against because he was both marking forward and crumbing goalsneak who often was the benefactor when teams were.Originally posted by Ruck'n'Roll

These days his efforts are often sporadic. His goalkicking is often an embarrassment as well. Had we lost the GF I think there would have been a far greater inquest into his pretty easy misses (as well the onespurned by Jude Bolton & Adam Goodes from memory).
He did a few good things on Saturday night. So when playing well DOES still pose a potential danger to opposition defenders. It is just a matter of how often he capitalises on the opportunities he has that that makes the difference as far as I'm concerned.
Wouldn't mind trying Paul Bevan or Simon Phillips as a small crumbing forward. And giving Teddy Richards a go at FF or FP as a dummy forward (even though there is the risk of him clogging up the forward line & opportunities for Barry Hall)

I still think he has the quickest hands in the business. He is one Swan that never jumps on a ball, but then, he is so good with his hands there isn't a need.Comment

Re: Sheahan kicks Magic in the guts
Just had a read of the article and based on Shehan's comments on the couch tonight you are reading that wrong.
Shehan reckons with both O'Keefe & Hall in top line form, that makes O'Loughlin the most dangerous third forward going around.

Re: Re: Sheahan kicks Magic in the guts
I read it right. Sheahan might well be too much of a hack to know what his words mean though.
Dictionary.com:
first string: A group of players that play regularly or start games for a sports team
second string: The group of players that substitute for the starting players or from which substitute players are drawn on a sports team.
Urban dictionary:
third string: refering to one who is uncoordinated, retarded, slow, etc.

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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.
10) Off-topic Posts
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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.

The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
