He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball) -
Question: Joe Dare from Geelong area (bushie). Our Kinnear Beetson has been in touch. Any thoughts about his possibility as a Swan? Or could he be too bushy to work in the big smoke? Thoughts?If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

It's the Hun. Means nothing. I reckon Talia is a greater chance of being there at 14 than Lucas.
They've taken Rohan to the Swans straight from BigFooty (doesn't make it wrong, but it's very likely it will be Cunnington or Rohan, and hardly breaking news).Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Gary Rohan........ I would be extremely happy with.......the guy is a live wire and it is hard to find a player like him with the blistering acceleration and he has the spur of the moment decision making !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

The 4 Danihers didn't having any trouble adapting to city life. Footy's history is filled with stars from the bush. Right up until the draft was brought in each club had country zones and every year almost all clubs snagged a gem from the bush. It is VFL folklore that on the first day of pre season training fans would wait with baited breath for the naming of new stars from the bush.Comment

I'd say the first pick will be either Rohan or Cunnington, depending on which one norf pick.
Happy with either.
Pick 14 is anyone's guess. I can't see us going for another tall KP forward though.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

I don't agree with the assesment that talls are our priority.
Surely our first priority is a small midfielder with clean hands and good speed off the mark to help us at centre clearances/stoppages? That is where i thought we were getting smashed this season.Sydney Swans - Finals bound in 2011Comment

What a joke
Shows how much Mark Stevens has actually studied the available talent if he thinks Rohan is a tall.
There are obviously a heap of better informed people on this forum than that Hun hack.
Doubt Lucas could last until pick 14 but Rohan & Lucas would be a dream to me. All I'd need then for this to be unbelievably exciting recruiting etc by us would be for Tadgh to return and Bradshaw to get to us in the PSD.
Notice that Tankers still need to delist another player to use either pick 50 in the ND or pick 1 in the PSD.
Similar to Freo who need another delist to use pick 52 ND or pick 2 PSD.
We obviously need to move vets off list or move Playfair to use pick 55 ND and get the Bradshaw PSD pick. If we did both the vets and Playfair to rookie list, then I wouldn't be surprised to see us use two picks in the PSD as there are now alot of useful players available and not many potential clubs involved in the PSDComment

Apparently Rohan has played Full-Back for the Cobden seniors and could develop into a tall key position player down the track once his body fills out.What a joke Shows how much Mark Stevens has actually studied the available talent if he thinks Rohan is a tall.

I think Norff will go for him, but would love Gary Rohan, Rohan GaryYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

Cunnington and Rohan Article
Favourite sons rise in the west
Also from the same articleThe chances are these two from the Cobden Football Club - where league luminaries such as Thorold Merrett, Alistair Lord and John Rantall once played - are in line for North Melbourne's No. 5 slot when the national draft takes place on November 26.
Whoever misses out could be headed interstate with Sydney next, followed by West Coast 7 and Port Adelaide 8 and 9.
LOL!Rohan loves his football, too, but his pathway has been in stark contrast to Cunnington's trek through the representative under-age teams.
For a time, when he was about 14, Rohan failed to make the Cobden side. As a result, he gave up the game and played netball.
He won the best and fairest (he was the only male in the team), but it only served to rekindle his passion for football.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.

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.
