Mc Kernan. Beat Naitanui in the ruck a few times. Maybe a good option.I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itselfComment

We should be spoilt for choices for pick 12, I'd also be happy if a Ziebell, Hartlett, Sidebottom or Hurley were to drop to our pick

Hurley would be very tempting. FB for the next 10 years would be most likely assured it seems. I haven't seen him play but he seems like a big strong fullback ala Rutten although there are slight concerns about his pace.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

I'm thinking it will be another case of best available over requirements this year and I hope we do go this way again and pick up a flashy, pacy midfielder.
Unless of course if the best available coincides with our requirements that's even better.Comment

if yarran is available he would be a good pick..classy midfield/forward player, just needs the endurance tank built up.
But blease looks good as well...
You would take the best outside midfielder (if the club is serious about not taking cousins)
then go for the best forward on the 2nd pick...as it appears White could be groomed as the FB to replace leo....
leave 2 picks for pre season draft as it appears to be a few players not on contracts from other cl;ubs that we could top up the list with...Comment

Yarran would be a big risk. Unfortunately he reminds me of Ashley Sampi. All the talent in the world but is very lazy.Comment

Having had a look at dread and might's video of Shaun McKernan, it confirms for me that being a recruitment manager is a dreadful job.
From that evidence, I would expect that unless there are psychological or injury issues, McK jr should play at least a few years of regular AFL footy; but it's basically impossible to say whether he will equal or exceed his brother, or whether he'll be a hardworking but uninspired and occasionally bumbling 2nd ruck.
You'd call developing your list via the draft a mug's game, if not for the fact that you have no choice but to play.Comment

I would be shocked if the Swans didn't go for a tall forward in the first round. The smart money if there is such a thing appears to be on McKernan or Cornelius.
I know it goes against the Roos methodology, but we do have D. O'Keefe, Veszpremi and Meredith all waiting for midfield roles and the wraps on Meredith in particular are pretty good (we already know what Vesz is capable of). Then there is Schmidt, who will hopefully start the season healthy, as well as Brabazon and Jack who can play midfield, not to mention Malceski for some much needed class in there with his knee and confidence back.
We are not short of mids but are desperately short of forward options with the imminent retirements of O'Loughlin and Hall. It appears White and Murphy will be groomed as key defenders."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I think we should look at
Trengrove
Swift
hartlett
No to mckernan ... looks and plays too much like his brother ... in other words he looks like a big log. I think the game has past that type of big lumbering ruckman past. Having said that, the footage i have seen does seem to show a bit of speed on the lead.
I would be really happy with trengrove, swift or hartlett but i have a feeling that all 3 will go in the top 6, if not before us.
That would leave Hill, Yarran, Ziebell, Blease, Sidebottom. Hill is being touted as a possible top 3 selection ... this would surprise me, He reminds me more of Jordan Mcmahon ... hardly the type of player you would want to get with pick 3. Yarran reminds me a little bit of Micky O the way he can one grab marks in one on one contests ... but his work ethic has to be questioned and could be a risk at a pick that we really dont wanna miss on in such a good draft. Im not sold on Ziebell or Blease, solid second round picks.
I wont go on, i think Sidebottom is probably our safest bet, given the above 3 are all gone by pick 12Comment

- 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.

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
