"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005 -
As an SCG Member who has to arrive early to get a good seat and an easy beer, and sees a bit of reserves, this kid is one out of the box.
Without a doubt, the best talent on our list aged 18-22. Not as 'exciting' as Vez, but if everyone here reckons he can play, wait till they see Hannebery.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Would be great to see him debut, but I reckon we'll have to wait until 2010. Will have to be content with watching B2 tear Fev a new one on Saturday, instead.*
Back to that article though, if this year is similar to '02 then I'll be very happy in September 2012!
Kelly + Dunkley = Hall + O'Loughlin? Probably a fair enough assessment in terms of how important they've been to the team over the years, though in very different ways! It's a tough one, but Kelly was the heart and soul of the team and that is much harder to replace than a mercurial goalsneak or a gun forward.
*I do admit bias.Comment

As a melbourne supporter who has only seen the reserves play once,(for a half when I was up for the Collingwood game in 2008) and doesn't see them often enough to know which kids have some real talent and which have not, I would like to know what to expect from this kid. I have heard lots of good things about him, and people hear are certainly talking him up. Can someone tell me, what sort of player he is and maybe the best thing to do is can anyone maybe compare him to another AFL player so I know what he is like, is he in the mould of a Harvey, Voss, Kelly, Creswell?Comment

[QUOTE=johnno;448996]The kid is a kid still. But he keeps his feet, has the magical gift of anticipation, appears to see the play two moves in advance, and can slip out of a tackle with a sideways shift of his body. I think he will be just like himself with attributes of a number of very good players. You may not even notice him on the ground, but a play will happen and you will say to yourself "where did that come from!". I predict he will be that kind of player. Just as long as our anticipation doesn't cruel it for him.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

[QUOTE=Primmy;448999]Just about sums it up - plus two other things. Has exceptional skills, and seems to relish a contest. Actually reminds me of Shane Crawford in that he doesn't have one big trick, but is the rounded package. A very pure footballer.
Whatever his fitness levels now, has a big future.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Demons sure Jack Watts can handle heat | Herald Sun
"MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey has shrugged off accusations that No. 1 draft pick Jack Watts has been blooded too soon."
My thoughts being based purely on the fact that they are in similar positions, drafted while still at school...Comment
-
Yes, but one is a #1 draft pick and one is a #30 draft pick, so it's not going to be a big surprise which gets most attention.Comment
-
The other difference is one is a tall skinny key position player while Hanneberry is a reasonably well built midfielder
Watts has been playing on large defenders and has been out muscled on a number of occassions. An underweight midfielder is unlikely to be at such a disadvantageComment
-
Ablett must go out this week and not return - EVER.
Crouch may hold on till the end of the season for leadership reasons.
Melcho is in trouble. Had a bread and butter pass ready to be delivered to the forward line on the weekend and sprayed it badly and inexplicably. Is a shadow of his former self.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

Would love to see Hannebery, White and Buchanan in this week. Also keep playing the big Lumberjack. Give Jolly some rest time before finals
Comment

How awesome, I know some are still hanging onto the very faint hope of finals and I'd love that too, but the reality is we'll probably fall short and we need to give these promising kids a shot while we can.
We don't want them all playing their first game next year when we don't have Micky and Hall in the side and our other veterans are a year older. If Hannebery can show something this weekend it'll give him so much confidence for the future and mostly for next year.Comment

I know we're not the Demons but after this last week maybe we need our Jack Watts moment.Comment

rumour has it hannebery is playing this week ...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
