SWANS Reserves coach Daniel McPherson is confident in-form forwards Lewis Johnston and Trent Dennis-Lane are ready for AFL football after the pair led Sydney to a comfortable win over Eastlake yesterday.Johnston booted five majors and Dennis-Lane four in the 14.12 (96) to 8.13 (61) triumph, with both players exuding plenty of class as Sydney extended its lead atop the AFL Canberra ladder.Comment

Reserves Cement Top Spot
I am guessing our reserves will be really interesting next year when focus is on Israel Folau, whom I am guessing will be up against Sam Reid. The Rugby League converts story will be really interesting for 18 months. Good to see Thornton on the comeback trail, never really rated him, but anyway, good time to be a young AFL player with two more clubs entering, at worst you are a chance for the Go With Sheedy ACTAFL sideYou 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

Good to see Meredith named in the best. Any thoughts on his chance of selection?Comment

Comes down to how you fit him in. We already need to lose two players to get Bradshaw and Shaw back in the team. Jetta was "rested" this week but Roos has vowed to bring him back sooner rather than later. Many thought MOD unlucky to lose his spot after just one opportunity, despite being a dominant player in the reserves for most of the season. Veszpremi equipped himself quite well at the weekend but may well be another MOD-style casualty against the Pies. Rohan, too, may soon find himself squeezed out after a relatively lean nght stats wise, despite some good harrassing and pressure, and despite kicking three goals last week. Bear in mind that McPherson has now declared Johnston and TDL ready for senior footy.
Players who were far from dead certs in the senior team at the start of the year, like JPK, Smith and Hanners have truly ensconced themselves in the team. Jack's foothold was stronger than those three but might have been vulnerable to even a slight drop off from last year. His form so far this year shows he has no intention of letting go of his spot. After just two games back from a longish layoff, Bird has picked up the pace very well and shown he is a valuable addition to the side. Meanwhile Benny Mac, despite not having his most productive game, showed how much we have missed his hard-nosed workrate and his pace for the past two months. Moore is not yet back in the team but played some very good football early in the year before his injury.
The reason why we are currently a bottom half of the eight team, not higher, is due to having fewer top notch players than the teams above us (or at least, the ones we have are far less consistent than those in the best teams). The team from spots 5-22 has definitely got better and more even since last year, especially with injuries on the wane (cross fingers). Which is good news for the coaching staff (other than on Thursday nights) but not so good for well-performing players in the reserves.Comment

Doubt Meredith will get a look in until after another pre season
Under risk
1 Bevan his lack of pace being the telling problem
2 Rohan will eventually be rested
After that hard to see anyone you could drop? Bradshaw and Shaw likely to return against Collingwood. Mattner does not have great form, but doubt he will be dropped. Veszpremi was very good Saturday, so would be surprised if he were droppedYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory!

As long as nobody kicks a point ,the game could be reasonably one sided.If someone kicks a point the game will be over!There would be nobody to kick the ball back into playComment

- 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.

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.

d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / 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.
