At a minimum switch Mathews and Crouch around. Grant is very skilfull but also pretty slow. Harvey is very nippy.
Mathews would be far more suited to Grant than he would be to Harvey as he stands less risk of being exposed for pace - an issue Crouch shouldn't have.
Alternatively, we might see Mathews lining up on Simpson and Kirk maybe going head to head with someone like Daniel Harris, who is probably the Roos most dangerous player in terms of getting clean clearances from stoppages. Keep Harris quiet in the middle and you go a long way to neutralising the Roos' midfield.Comment

With Keiren making his debut, I wish this week had been one of my planned Melbourne games. I said in the ressies report this week "I gave that honour to Keiren Jack because he compliments his run and carry with terrific in and under work at the bottom of the packs." This, plus his work in defence probably account for Keiren getting the nod this week. I do get the idea that Roos is using this unusual injury window to have a look at what each of the kids can do. He now knows what Phillips and Moore have to offer, now its Keiren's turn. If the right circumstances occur, Laidlaw will get his chance later on. I was surprised he was not named as an emergency this week in case NOG doesn't come up. Probably a "one newbee at a time" philosophy.
I am a big wrap on young Jack. I have never gone to the guernsey presentation before, but I predict Keiren will be presented the #14 next year by Skilts and Kel; if so I will definitely be there.

I think that is pertinent. At the moment Jack has only got a window of 4-5 weeks in which to play senior football, unless LRT's recovery period stretches out further or someone else goes down.
There are no such restrictions on the likes of Phillips or Laidlaw or Moore.Comment

What happens if Jack turns into a Judd?, (other than me wetting myself haha) - and then LRT comes back onto the Senior List, and Jack has to go back to the Rookie list? What are the implications for Jack and for us in that scenario?
I know at the end of the season, if he turns out well, he will be promoted, but are we limited to the games he can play for the seniors if he has to go back to the rookie list??Comment

Old Royboy talks a lot of sense re KJ.( And not just cos of our obvious affiliation, even tho I have no idea who he/she is)
Pedigree seems to count a lot in footy, no matter what the code!
The kid has something..I'm going to Melb for the Saints game..hope he's still in the firsts.
After all from rookie to starting 22 in a week is fantastic..I know it's been done but is Schneider the most recent?Comment

Okay I've been reading up about rookies and their eligibility.
According to
there are two ways a rookie listed player becomes eligible.
1. A long term injury replacement.
2. Being a nominated rookie, which is only possible when the club has listed fewer than 2 veterans. This is how Paul Bevan got his chance, coincidentally also replacing an injured Kennelly.
Not sure whether option 2 applies to the Swans, I remember SimonH posting a lot about it, so perhaps he can clarify matters.Last edited by ugg; 3 May 2007, 09:22 PM.Comment

Interesting, thanks Ugg...so basically it looks like he can't play unless on the Senior List, I think we have two veterans nominated.Comment

- 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.
