Good to see Dempster as our best player.
Still not as big a thrashing as Devonport versus East Devonport."The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the Machine -
We will need to call on a few of these blokes next week with Brennan and Amon gone.
Looks like Dempster has hit form at the right time. Moore and Thornton could also be chances this week.Comment

You'd expect Dempster and LRT to get a run next week.
I wonder where Moore is at given he can't crack a seniors spot any more, but does well in the reserves.
And what about Simpkin and Thornton?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Fair dinkum on the performance of the midfield tonight you must give Moore a go.Comment

Dempster should have played tonight before Crouch. For mine Crouch only played to get up 200 games. He was laughable.Comment

Dempster and LRT should both have played. Sick of Roos' reluctance to pick players on from as opposed to reputation. We are going backwards at a rapid pace and no planning for the future is happening. How can players develop if they never get a chance and the same old hacks play week in week out!---------||--ANNE--||----------Comment

Happens all the time. Team drops off 10% and and coaches go from gung ho about the team to self survival mode. Eade coached for himself in the last 2 years of his tenure. We are at this point now, I just hope that come seasons end that a genuine analysis is made of some of our past heroes as to their worth to the club and all brownie points have expired.
Roos said of LRT very early in the season that LRT had taken a lot longer to get over his foot injury and alluded to a lack of desire on LRT's part to speed the recovery. LRT is merely paying the penalty of a coach in denial of the fact that LRT played all the finals with a serious foot injury that proved in the GF that it was a waste of time him being out there.
Dempster, well at least he can kick the footy and has enough pace to break the lines. Malceski was dragged back to the goal square and tagged all game and spent the second Q on the forward line which meant we had little or no run from the backline.
Again makes a mockery of Crouch's selection. From the first contest it was obvious Crouch is way off the pace. At one point Crouch was contesting on the wing (sorry strolling on the wing) while Thomas calmly ran to CHF to take a mark. Crouch had no idea where his man was.Comment

Moore played 25 minutes in his last appearance in round 7, he was dropped the following week.
How can he prove himself in 25 minutes?Comment

I think people have been a bit harsh on Brennan. A couple of those kicks from the centre bounces went straight on Ruslings chest. The best backman in world would not have stopped those. Just shows how little pressure we put on at centre bounces. We actually block at centre bounces instead of going for the footy. There is something fundamentally wrong with that strategy but I cant quite put my finger on it.
It looks to me that Brennan is being groomed as our next full back. A reasonable height, has speed and is prepared to back himself and run off. He has only played 15 games of AFL and was a top 10 draft pick. He looks and plays like he knows he belongs out there.Comment

Agree, Brennan seems to show enough to suggest he will be serviceable for us with more experience. Seems too small for a key post though.Comment

Brennan's too small to be FB, but I think he could be serviceable BP.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

The thing I like about Brennan is he knows how to spoil without giving away a free kick.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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
