Ross Lyons respect continues to decline in my mind...Low blow from them...Comment

Ridiculous statement. StKilda may well have offered Pick 20, Essendon trumped with Pick 19, Norf with Pick 18 etc. etc. Any club would be derelict in there duty if they didn't make a bid and force Sydney to use their first pick. He's a Top 10 pick and we have got a steal as it is.
Bottom line...
Was it a low blow last year when we offered Pick 39 for Tom Liberatore, forcing the Bulldogs to use their second round pick ???????

Low blow? Some of you lot need to harden up. Ross Lyon owes the Swans nothing.Bloods

Not surprised in the slightest (albeit I was hoping no one would!!), but Freo have had access to him for the past few years through his Dad and are well aware of how good he was. I can't be angry at them for trying to get a Top 10 pick for pick 16.
We got one hell of a deal today.Comment

Ok so how good is this kid? He sounds like he could be a pretty special sort of player - well the sort of special you'd hope any top 10 draft pick would be. Where is he up to development wise, and realistically how many matches could we see him in in 2012? He has had so much hype about him, especially on here - I hope we give him some time to develop and don't expect miracles straight away.
Can anyone compare him to, say, Wallis or Liberatore for the Bulldogs? Both were much-hyped father-son selections who looked pretty good this year, but from memory neither played full seasons and still have a bit of a way to go. Can we compare Tom to either of these two, or any other rookies of 2011?Comment
-
I love the father-son rule in the AFL.
The reports on Tom have been good, but as with all trade / draft selections there are no guarantees. Good luck to him though - Go Swans!Comment
-
If he is as good as reported - good deal! Most of the tops picks would be gone before we get a go anyway..

It?s hard to compare him to anyone else as I have not seen them play but he is a very good in and under and clearing the ball out from packs type of player. He was the central player for Claremont in the colts grand finale with the number of times he won contested possession of the ball.
I could easily see him playing in the centre for us next year, however he has missed a fair few games this year with injuries and the type of game he plays is hard on the body.
With this type of player you are not waiting for them to develop like with ruckmen or key forwards so it?s no surprise he is considered a top ten pick but I guess it comes down to how much a club wants this type of player.Where's the remote?Comment
-
Anyone know if there's a way to find a replay of Tom on Trade Week radio?Comment
-
I know that trade week radio plays in a loop so if you can find out from someone what time Tom was on in the morning you should be able to figure out what time you can hear him tonight considering the live program ends at 6. That's probably the only way you would be able to hear him again.Comment

I havent seen a great deal, and nothing live, but from little snippets he does kind of resemble A Sam Mitchell type player. Great hands, good extractor of the ball from packs, accumulates posession, delivers it well. Not flashy, not much in terms if pace, and probably the exact opposite of the type of player we are screaming out for ( lets face it, winning inside ball is not our problem, its what happens after...) , but if he can deliver the ball as well as they say he can, his lack of pace shouldn't be a problem. Looking forward to seeing him run around next year.Comment

Wow, some people really don't have their head around the bidding process. All the clubs would have known that the Swans would give up a first round pick. Ross Lyon and Horse probably discussed it over a beer at some point. If Freo hadn't bid, somebody else would have. There was no way the Swans weren't going to have to use their first rounder.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment
-
Plus it's pick 21 anyway. It's not like we had much to work with in the draft this year anyway... I'd just as soon have us trade the picks away and see what we get for them this year.Comment

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.

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.

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.
