Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

A small forward who can bury his opponent in a teeth shaking tackle and then grab an overhead pack mack in the forward channell against two opponents is a real nightmare for opponents and coaches in terms of match ups. His head on tackle of Thurstens on their half back line would have depressed Williams even more. Bevo playing alongside Big Bustling is not an inviting proposition for the new type of running defenders.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

He made an ARL ball and all tackle. Head tucked to the side and the opponents arms wrapped up. It stopped Thurstons handballing off as well as bringing him to shuddering halt. Most AFL players don't tackle by running straight at their opponents in head on tackles. They will move slightling to the side and attempt to tackle at an angle. And are often brushed aside. I would point out that Thurstens is is a giant and Bevo is a medium sized player. Don't know about any AFL player tackiling like that but the Human Turnstile or Kid Terrific would have been challenged. Didn't see the clangers and Bevo fumbles mainly because he contests the "hot" ball. The two opponents crashing into him as he puts his head over the ball might have something to do with the ball bobbing about. He made one fumbling run into the forward line, found the handle and gave off a good handpass. Didn't see 15 fumbles quite frankly.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

Bevan can't be compared to Davis, they are totally different players.
Davis would be competing with players like O'Keefe, Grundy, Barlow types - lead up medium sized forwards.
Bevan is a small back pocket or forward pocket type who can occasionally go on the ball. He is competing with players like Crouch, Mathews etc.
Bevan is getting a game due to Crouch's injury and ahead of Mathews. Few could argue with this logic.
Davis is missing out as Roos is obviously not going to drop O'Keefe and he wants to give the younger guys a run.Comment

Davis is competing with a lot of players. He is the least versatile small player in the club. He is an old fashioned one dimensional forward flanker in a team that requires adaptability and versatility. Young Jack in his first season has more versatility. You mention three roles that Bevo plays, which includes forward flanker. How many can Davis play? Despite what he may think and many posters he is just not that good to justify a stationary position. Schnieder had the same problem.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

Davis is capable of, and has in the past, playing off a flank, playing deeper as a crumbing forward and playing deeper as a leading player at full forward. He reguarly pushes up far enough off the flank to be classified as a wing.
I don't think he is that unfit, either, as to not be able to be involved in midfield rotations as he has in the past.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Monty yet, 18 pages is a lot to get through.
I thought he was back to his best today, tucking the ball under his arm and breaking the lines and tackles. Disposal was a bit rusty but he looked good.
Ahhh Connolly, you must feel justified, just as I feel justified about McVeigh(at least for one week). Bevan had a great game, he should probably be played up forward more often.Last edited by RogueSwan; 31 March 2008, 02:33 PM."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

Swan Davis faces battle to return
Swan Davis faces battle to return - realfooty.com.au
Roos says:
"Nick's really accepted it (being dropped) well. He understands that we've got to put forward pressure on and that's what better teams are doing ? that's what we demand of our forwards and that's probably the area he's been a bit down in, in the last four or five weeks.
"His fitness is good, it's just getting his mind around it and running and putting pressure on. We don't mind how many goals he kicks, it's just really how much pressure he can put on. We've got to have forwards who chase and tackle and it's something Davo can do. I'm sure he'll be back in the team soon."
Another Swan unlikely to make the trip north is ruckman Peter Everitt. . .Comment

It's great to see McVeigh playing the way we know he can, and Bevan obviously had a good game, too. It's interesting, though, that the same people who didn't want anyone jumping on McVeigh or Bevan's back after a few bad performances, are singing their praises are a couple of good ones.
One player who I used to think was a complete waste was Moore, and he's proved me wrong in the best possible way. He looks faster this year, leaner, and basically like he's a part of the team. With him, Jack and McVeigh playing through the middle and playing to their potential, maybe we wont be as "drab" from now on.Comment

Not bad...took connolly to task on 2 points and you got BOTH of them wrong.
Bevan towelled Brennan at the Gabba last year the week after Brennan had a night out at the MCG against Collingwood.
Peter Burgoyne did zero yesterday, let alone being the only one who could hold his head high.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
