Was there any RWO reader who was at the game that can give us another great RWO review of the match? It's always much better reading for info on our up and coming player's than the official articles!Comment

Yes, I was there, but I can't produce anywhere near the excellent quality of reviews seen elsewhere on this site. However here are some comments on Quarters 2-4. The Queanbeyan Tigers were a decent opposition and it certainly was no walkover for us. Basic skill errors - like kicking to the opposition and handballs to noone - continue to plague us.
Pyke took some excellent marks and played better than I've seen him play before but he doesn't seem to understand Aust Rules. Nick Smith was everywhere - wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the firsts soon. Pat Veszpremi worked hard but didn't always seem effective - seemed to work hard for not so much result and seemed to tire quickly. Sam Reid was impressive at times. Gary Rohan's tackling was ferocious, and his burst of speed dazzling. Dennis Trent Lane kicked a clever goal from a scrimmage just in front of goal. I had forgotten how good Ted's quick handballs were to set up run from the backs, but he didn't play quite to the standard one would expect of a 1sts defender. The tiny No.47 top up was amazing - but I didn't find out his name - look forward to seeing him play again. Bevan lost his cool. No 22 jumper was on someone other than Sumner. Lewis Johnston certainly looks promising but is still very light on physically. Currie and Sam Reid shared the rucking. Taylor Gilchrist looked good at times. Campbell Heath was pretty impressive at times. Nathan Gordon did some good work as did Dylan McNeil. Henry played well. O'Dwyer is an exciting player to watch. Sam Reid looks like he could play in the 1sts fairly soon and Currie seems to be maturing well.
Apologies for the generalities.Comment

Thanks Other Jesse for your very late night efforts. Good to see some of the players we gave wraps to last week are consistently good, and our praise hasn't put them off... Interesting to see how they are progressing, their strengths and weaknesses.
Also really good to see the wide rang of goal kickers; does this seem to be a team ethic? New plan to confound the oppositiion? I like it.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

We should draft that noone - would solve a lot of problems.
I wonder what Pyke did that gave you that impression? I'm not being defensive or critical, just curious.
And thanks for the comments - as I frequently say, I'm always glad to have any info about the ressies.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)Comment

Thanks for the report. However I can't see any photos of the reserves in that link. Only Swans-Richmond photos.Originally posted by Jesse RichardsComment

Can't work out why the photos aren't showing - I checked the viewing rights which is set to All. The link works fine on my computer. Maybe this one will work: Gary Rohan on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Let me know if it doesn't. Will upload more today.Comment

He took some good marks and stuck to his man like glue. Even when he failed to mark, the pressure on his opponent caused a spill. He seemed to be more a part of the game rather than a bystander wondering what to do. I remember at least one gutsy tackle. I am wondering if he is starting to come out of the "musn't give away frees" mindset that must be an issue for any player from another code. I also think that it is possible that one day soon a switch in his brain might turn on, he'll get the essence of the game (whatever that is) and then he could be awesome, but at the moment it's as though he is thinking every step and sometimes that is not enough at this level, no matter how athletic.Comment

You mean Charlie Noone No.68. - a thin slip of a player, hard to spot but the players know where he is. He gets a lot of the ball but his disposals suck.Comment

Thanks JR - much appreciated. I'm sure Pykey is still finding his way in some respects, but the more I hear (and very occasionally see), it's very promising.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

I was at the game as well.#47 was Jeremy Hirst and there was no number 22. The top ups were 51 (Whiley), 48 (O'Neill),52 (Miles), 53 (Segrave), 50 (McPherson) and 49 (McRorey). All listed on the sheet handed out at the game.I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED!!!!!Comment

What does it mean when a report says that Bevan "lost it" during the game?
Good to see that MOD has lost his facial hair. Always looks like he's going great guns, full pelt.Comment

I also wonder about Pyke and he "must not give away frees" issue. Personally I think it is more "I must not kill"....he is a very very big strong man...If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

- 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.
