"Lockett is the best of all time" - Robert Harvey, Darrel Baldock, Nathan Burke, Kevin Bartlett, Bob Skilton -
Except that he has a role to play, one that none of Everitt, Fosdike or Malceski is going to play. Other than Jack (and at a pinch Kennelly or Mattner) who do we have who can play on a nippier small forward? Bevan may not be a world beater in that department but he's about the best we have. I'd hate to see Jack stuck in a back pocket because his speed and centre-square tagging ability look too promising, and hopefully they are grooming him to be a more offensive midfielder.
If you're going to put those three players into the team that beat the Eagles, I reckon you'd probably have to take out Davis, Bird and maybe Barlow in order to keep the balance. That's working on the basis of Mattner moving up to the wing to accomodate Malceski, Teddy or even Leo sometimes being surplus to requirements down back and playing a bit in the forward line, and Fosdike replacing Bird as the mostly outside running role that Bird is currently playing (even though I expect him to become more "inside" as he develops).Comment

He's doing his job, still susceptible to brain fade....
Hope he keeps it upspriteComment

I probably would long term too. But if Malceski makes it back this season, I reckon it makes sense to keep things as simple for him as possible, which probably means playing him in the role he's most familiar in.
And Barlow may be just one breakthrough game away from becoming undroppable. You get the sense he's on the brink of really imposing himself on a game, rather than just the (excellent) cameos he's currently playing. In which case, someone like Monty might have to make way to accomodate Fosdike - and I am not convinced that's necessarily an improvement to the team.Comment

Oops. Had forgotten that Davis didn't play against the Eagles. And yes, we have too many in our backline. I still don't think that Bevan would be the one to make way.
A month ago I'd have taken Richards out of the team but his form at the moment is too good.
In reality it's probably not a problem that is ever going to be faced. If or when Malceski is ready, someone else will almost certainly have picked up an injury.Comment

It's a hypothetical. Along the lines of our best side. I don't see Bevan in it until Barry retires.
Barry Richards C Bolton
Kennelly LRT Malceski
Mattner Ablett Jack
ROK Hall Buchanan
Moore MOL McVeigh
Jolly Goodes Kirk
Inter from Everitt, Schmidt, Bird, J Bolton, Fosdike, Davis, Barlow
Is our best side.

You assume Bevo is just a defender. He's not. He is a defensive utility who can play back, quarterback, mid or up. He would be on the pine in front of Bird, Schmidt and Davis (you're having a laugh right?). The super interchange would be Everitt, Jude, Barlow and Bevo. Height, ticker and skill. Fossie would replace Buchanon who is now a fringe player at best. You obviously have been sleeping down the back of the Bevo Seminar 101 son.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

Big call that one. Buchy has been average but not droppable yet IMO, seen a few of those clearances that we know he has been capable of.
I think Buchy and Goodes are in a bit of bind in that they often tagged very heavily at stoppages, and haven't really developed the skill to break those tags. Goodes was often double teamed last week, receiving some pretty heavy treatment, Buchy has been the same, his diminutive stature makes more difficult to pick up.
I'd like to see him in for Moore ATM.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.
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.
