We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time -

Here's what I would like to see. I know you're not supposed to have too many new faces, but this is a fantasy forum so I can say what I want.
I would like to see young players given the opportunity to do a better job than Fosdike, Bolton, Richards, Mathews, Crouch, McVeigh and Bevan.
So here's my Rnd 1 team
Bolton White Barry
Kennelly LRT Schneider
Johnstone* Goodes Malceski
Davis Hall O'keefe
Phillips O'Loughlin Barlow
Everitt Buchanan Kirk
Jolly Moore Ablett Thornton/Brabazon/D.O'Keefe/Laidlaw/Pick11
Cheers
swap barry and white around and thats a musical backlineTheres not much left to sayComment

B : Richards Playfair Barry
HB: C Bolton LRT Kennelly
C: Malceski Kirk Mattner
HF: Okeefe Hall MOL
F: Buchanan Davis Everett
FOL: Jolly Goodes Ablett
INTER: Schmitt Fosdike Barlow White
EMG: Moore Bolton Jack Laidlaw
ACT : Mathews, McVeigh, Bevan, Crouch
Fullback is obviously a worry.
I realise my members of the 'ACT club' will probably all be in Roos team, and as others have said....that's the reality and the problem.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

B: Richards, Barry, Ablett
HB: Mathews, Bolton, Kennelly
C: Fosdike, Kirk, Malceski
HF: O'Keefe, Hall, Goodes
F: Davis, O'Loughlin, Playfair
R: Jolly, Bolton, Buchanan
Int: Schmidt, Vogels, Crouch, Barlow
Two omissions from what I suspect will be the likely first team, but one can always hope...Comment

When did Ablett become a back pocket?
When did Buchanan become a forward?
Why continue to put J Bolton in the centre?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

It is interesting the creativity that is expended on finding someone to replace Bevo as the small defender. Ablett?, Scneider (right), Jack (tiny tots get killed doing what Bevo does). Bevo is going to be given an opportunity to develop into a Stewie Maxfield type. In anticipation of howls of derision I mean a Maxfield type not that he will become Stewie. He doesn't have the magnificent left foot obviously. But a tough nut at the set pieces. People forget that in his debut year Bevo had a couple of 19 possession games and played primarily as a defensive midfielder. He may be used also as a "defensive" half forward flanker on the running attacking players off the half back line. As a gaol kicker Bevo achieved a 100% accuracy this season (ok its 3 out of 3) if you don't include the fresh air he achieved against the maggots. He has always been extremely accurate kicking for goal on the run or set shots. Well anyway I'm excited about next yearBevo bandwagon driverComment

Bevan is less than 2" shorter than Jack and 7 kg lighter, and Jack is more than 2" taller and 7 kg heavier than Crouch, so Jack would have no problems in the back pocket.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Connolly doesn't see Bevan as a normal back pocket picking up the oppos small forward. He sees him as the guy who fills the hole and is prepared, as well as capable of, taking the hits. In many games this year he was exactly that.
I believe he is probably thinking that Jack won't be able to take those same hits.
Strangely enough, Jack is one of the few small players in the league equipped to take those same bumps, he is built like the proverbial brick outhouse. That said, he can offer so much more in attack running off his man, I doubt he will ever be instructed to fill that role that Bevan fills admirably, much to the complete blindness of the RWO inmates who refuse to open their eyes to what positives Bevan actually brings to the team as opposed to concentrating on his negatives.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

With Barry or Richards in the back pocket, then you have someone who can cover.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

- If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below.
- 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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.
15) Guidelines regarding Visitors to RWO for RWO members.
Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
