Liz's point about other clubs watching our 2's is very valid. eg. Thornton's brother plays for Freo and Brabazon won the U18 B&F in WA, so they may think these blokes are playing well enough and have developed both mentally and physically enough at Sydney to be cherry ripe for AFL next season.
Jarrod Moore is under contract, but I bet for not a whole lot, so a Vic club might reckon he is one who would step right into the midfield and pay his contract.
We tend to rubbish the Canberra comp but we might just be a very talented group of reserves. If Longmire gets a gig elsewhere I wonder if he will make a play for a couple of our younger players. Lyon took Garubba in the Rookie draft.Comment

Wrong guy, he took James Wall.Comment

Not wanting to be pedantic (but I will be anyway
), his brother is a Weagle rather than a Docker. There is a Thornton on the Docker's list but Kristen's brother is Ashley, who is on the Eagles' rookie list (but possibly in danger of dropping off - he's in his second rookie list year and has been out for most of the season with an ACL - a pretty unfortunate combination).

I think you got more than just his contract status right
I wouldn't be surprised to see Moore given the option of looking elsewhere - of course he may not want to.
And consigning him to one of the cellar dwellers may seem cruel, but I have no doubt he'd get regular senior footy at a Carlton or Richmond and would add a bit of grunt to their pretty light-weight midfields. Maybe even an Adelaide or Brisbane might find him appealing to complement some good running-type youngsters. The Dees probably need more outside, running types, because they already have Moloney, McLean and Jones as young hard nuts.Comment

i still believe the tougher the game the better jbolton digs in..he has weaknesses..like goal snaps..but apart from bkirk he is the bravest player in the red and white..i think his clearances are fine
..its only the judds who land them all on a chest! it wd really surprise me if he was up for trade..and , of course, thoughts of getting rid of fossie are sheer lunacy!Comment

How's B1 performed against the top tier teams? His only decent games have been against mediocre opposition, hardly digging in imo."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

J.Bolton ranks second in the courage, in and under stakes. His last quarter against West Coast was excellent and he has played well since. Forget trading players like Doyle, Vogels or even the youngsters. They have no value and there are hardly any trades done now. I agree with Liz in that it is going to be very difficult to delist at the end of the year. Come the end of 2008 some senior players will begin to retire and then Moore, Laidlaw, Grundy, Thornton, Jack will get their chance. By then their bodies will have filled out and they will be ready for senior football. They are better off playing in Canberra than being beaten pillar to post playing for Richmond or Melbourne against bigger bodies. All of our drafts were taken well down in the draft in the knowledge that they were long term prospects. Long term means 5 years. That's why Brennan is picked short-term rather than a younger boy. Be patient!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.

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.
