I managed to see the whole game. So just some prelim notes:
Simpkins - He has an outstanding future ahead of him. He is strong in both attack and defence, great vision and isnt selfish with the ball. Makes good decisions going forward. Looks more of a midfield type player than a forward, cause I dont think the radar in front of goal is quite as sharp as in general play.
Laidlaw - Was quite prominent in this game. Had good positional sense and made good decisions going forward. Needs to be a bit stronger on the lead.
Rowe - had a quite first half but exploded in the third quater at FF. Took some strong overhead marks and finished well in front of goal. Lead hard all day. Very agile for a tall man too.
Schmidtt - Looked really good till they took him off. Racked up a lot of early possessions and fed the forward line well. Looks quick too.
Schneider - Moved well which was the most important thing. Was clean all day but lacked a little bit of polish sometimes which is to be expected.
White - Played up forward and down back today. Looked a little lost downback - trailed his man in quite a few times and struggled to get front position in contests. Up forward he led hard and put together two good goals early in the first half.
Doyle - Was a little disappointing. Wasnt a big feature in the ruck today with Rowe doing a lot of the rucking too. Looked slow.
Thats what I remember, may have missed a few things though. It was a good game, a fairly easy first up win for the boys.And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

UGG's report is telling.
Positive - Schmidt has plenty of touches and reads the play off the ruckman
Negative - Jude Bolton doesn't read the play off the ruckman and never has, cant kick, slow reaction time etc.etc.etc.
Positive - Moore is lightening quick with his hands and agile
Mathews - No skills, will not handpass when tackled or potentially tackled, slows down the play and I dont mean play tempo footy, no vision, cant kick, slow thinker
Surely it must be time to make these logical changes. Get these blokes in and leave them there. Enough of this carp about fighting their way into a top side. We wont be a top side for long unless we inject youth into the team (now decidely older youth).
What we lack is a couple of extra players to mix the dynamics up a bit to break up the flooding that WCE did and get extra run and carry. I am sure these 2 guys would do as well if not better at stoppages. The only stoppages Mathews gets involved in are those caused by his own ineptness.Comment

I'd like to see Laidlaw, Schmidt and/or Moore into the seniors on a more regular basis this year.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I'm sure Doyle rucked most of the time and Shaw was his backup. I don't recall Rowe ever going into the ruck, he started down back and switched up forward in the second half. I do agree with your assessment of Doyle though, he can get the tap a lot of time but it just doesn't go to advantage.Comment

Rowe went into the ruck very late in the game when Doyle had an early mark from the game to ice up a knee. Doyle had the ice off it when he went out to the centre to congratulate teammates at fulltime, so wouldn't be too panicked by it.
BTW, Not much mention of Keiran Jack. He was brilliant mopping up in the back half.
For those who saw the game, what about the hit Jack put on some poor unfortunate soul who tried to tackle him ball and all when Jack received a hospital handball from a teammate. Jack just braced himself and flattened the guy, took off at speed, passed to a forward and goal. Second qtr from memory, just great stuff. I really reckon we need to get him on the list.Last edited by Triple B; 1 April 2007, 11:16 AM.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Video here:
but the conversion to youtube's video has made a few of them quite unwatchable. Rowe's contested mark is probably the clearest of the lot. There should be 8 videos in total but some haven't been processed yet. Be sure to check bcak later.

- 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.
