The Injury and Tribunal Thread
There is lots going on with injuries, and a couple of 'oos and ahhs' from the commentators last night regarding potential reports... so I figured we could do with a thread to keep track of them.
Is this all?
Luke Ablett
Injury: Hyperextended knee. Scan on Monday. 0 Weeks to Season depending on severity. Best guess, 1-4 weeks.
Craig Bolton
Injury: Knee (Unknown). Walking wounded. Expected to play against the Kangaroos.
Amon Buchanan
Injury: Knee (MCL). Test. May play against the Kangaroos.
Sean Dempster
Injury: Knee (MCL). 5 weeks.
Adam Goodes
Injury: Shoulder. Walking wounded. Likely fit to play against the Kangaroos.
Tribunal: Forearm to the back of an opponent, in the final quarter. Likely to be cited, but even if convicted he is likely to get away with 90 odd points--given his good record.
Barry Hall
Injury: Knee (Unknown). Walking wounded. Likely fit to play against the Kangaroos.
Tribunal: Forearm to the back of opponent's head, early in the first quarter. Unlikely to be cited (opponent didn't go to ground), but if convicted is likely to be suspended for a week.
Tadhg Kennelly
Injury: Dislocated knee cap. Scan on Monday. 0 Weeks to Season depending on severity. Best guess, 2-6 weeks.
Lewis Roberts-Thomson
Injury: Foot stress fracture. Long term injury list.Comment

According to Channel 10 News (29/04/2007):
Tadhg Kennelly: 4 Weeks
Luke Ablett: In doubt for Kangaroos
All things considered, I'd be very happy with that.Comment

Injuries? What injuries. Compared to other years we are travelling well.
Last year we lost Williams and Crouch to long term injuries, and our No.2 ruckman only got on the ground in the later half of the year.
This year the only serious injury is LRT and he should be back in the 2nd half of the year.Comment

No, we are still managing to avoid long term injuries and losing players for any real length of time. Our injury management and general luck is still great.

We also should be in a better position to cover them this year, with practically no "depth" of note falling off the top of the list and those coming through a year stronger, fitter and more experienced.
Schmidt's come in, isn't staring but is doing his bit. Moore did the same yesterday. There are at least half a dozen running around in the magoos who I reckon can do the same - with Laidlaw and Jack heading the queue.Comment

Good point.
We have depth to cover the "short term" injuries that we got last night.
Laidlaw can come in because he has the ability to step up into Kennelly's role for a few matches (not for full matches, you'd expect Roos to switch Malceksi to that role and Laidlaw and maybe even Goodes for a spell to take over Malceksi's role, but whatever happens there will be a bit of mixing and matching going on.)
For Ablett, I would bring Buchanan back in (if fit of course) and move Schmidt into Ablett's role and allow Buchanan to go back his normal role. That way you have Jolly/Everitt, Moore, Fosdike and maybe Schneider starting on the bench before the normal rotations start to take effect.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Robbie, I usually like your incisive comments but that lot has my head spinning.
Now for starters, no one regardless of whatever depth we have, can replace Kennelly or be expected to cover his role for a few weeks. He is about the best in the comp in his role. Makes for interesting thought though on how or if our game plan changes any.
As for the midfield, they all seem to rotate through the same role, except for the time on the ground. "Svengali" Roos is the only one that can work out what he does. Good guess though.Comment

On the lighter side to our injuries, SEN's Liam Pickering said today that you would expect with our record that all injured players from last night will play. They have a cupboard full of tricks he said.
Kennelly - plastic knee replacement, will play.
Ablett - Nothing wrong with him given the call after the game, "the Swans have no serious injuries".
Goodes - shoulder replacement, will play.
Great chuckles at the no serious injuries report.Comment

Did I manage to get it off its axis
I can understand what you are getting at and to that end I agree with you - no one can FULLY replace Kennelly and his role in our (just look at the first two matches of last season when he didn't play to see the impact). But the difference from Round 1 and 2 last year to Round 6 this year is that we have players who have the ability to step and fill the role (be it 80% to how Kennelly can do that same role) for a handful of weeks until Kennelly is once again fit enough to play.Now for starters, no one regardless of whatever depth we have, can replace Kennelly or be expected to cover his role for a few weeks. He is about the best in the comp in his role.
Yes losing Kennelly for even one week will hurt us, but as I was trying to point out that by shifting Malceski into Kennelly's position and bringing in Laidlaw to fill the gap Malceski's switch will open up, we can use the depth within our squad and also not have mess around too much with our gameplan. Of course if Kennelly was to be out for the season then a stopgap messure wouldn't be needed, messing around with the gameplan would.
But don't think for a second that I was suggesting the Malceski or Laidlaw would be able to replace Kennelly in the team without us even noticing. Even I agree that is crazy talk.
I does and hence my suggestions. 1 to 3 weeks I suggest you just move the deck chairs around and bring in Laidlaw. Any longer and you seriously have to look at changing the gameplan. You'd think Roos would see how we go this week (plus any news on how long he is out for) without Kennelly before making any rash decision.Makes for interesting thought though on how or if our game plan changes any.
I stopped trying to figure out the midfield a long time a ago. All I know is we have "types" of midfielders, which seems to get longer as a list each season.As for the midfield, they all seem to rotate through the same role, except for the time on the ground. "Svengali" Roos is the only one that can work out what he does. Good guess though.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Injuries? What injuries?
Though this version sounds slightly less optimistic re Kennelly, at least.

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. 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.
