We need to rebuild, and he isn't focusing on the future. That is what I'm saying.Comment

And way to quote me out of context aswellComment

Teddy is in to allow Reg to become our new gun CHF. This gives Goodes the freedom to play on the ball. It is a stroke of genius! [/tongue in cheek]

You are pretty hard to please Robbo.
Persisted with White, debuted Jetta, Rohan and TDL. In addition we have Hanners and Smith who are regulars in the side. Bird was straight back in as soon as available. Meredith back in. Transformed Reg.
Bevan and Richards are no longer walk - ups, as it should be, they are depth players and right now we need to test them (depths that is) given our injury list.
I would have thought you would be feeling quite satisfied.Last edited by Lucky Knickers; 9 July 2010, 06:38 PM.Comment

Well I said I would be happy if Meredith or Johnston got a call up... so there, I'm happy

I'm not hard to please at all. The very best we can do this year is to scrape into 8th spot and then get done in the first week of the finals, so I think we should just take some risks and play the kids. Roos is playing it safe because I get the feeling he wants to get us to the finals in his final year, but he isn't looking at the big picture.
We are rebuilding so I think we should get rid of driftwood like Bevan and Richards. And I don't think he persisted with Rohan at all to be honest, he didn't deserve to be dropped a couple of weeks ago. But he ended up making way for a 30 year old. Again, Roos played it safe.
For a club which needs to rebuild it's list, I just find it frustrating that we are playing older blokes who are average at the best of times while we have promising youngsters with potential playing against plumbers and furniture salesmen in the Canberra amateurs.Comment

As I predicted in an earlier post. Pyke a walk up of course, TDL gets a second game after his nervous first game, two old stagers back in without bitzing it in the ressies - very predictable.
Meredith only in coz Mattner has gone down.
Looks like Vez and Johnston will be in the team really soon, hopefully not at TDL or Meredith's expense though. Good luck on Sunday to TDL and Meredith.Comment

You really think debuting (is that even a word?) Johnstone would bring more to the table than teddy or bevan at the scg? Roos has given Johnstone a whiff and I can definitely see him getting a call up this season.
Roos isn't a big risk taker when it comes to playing young kids at big games we need to win.....Comment

It might not bring more to the table, but it's an investment in the future which is what we need to focus on IMO.Comment

Robbo, have you noticed that the team is crippled with injuries? I can't remember when it's ever been worse. With B2 at the back we could take more of a chance with a midfield selection. With Braddy up front we could play a kid up forward, too. There are a lot of young players in this week's team and that's great.
Do you think Roos should play a team with some serviceable but not inspired players in it to give us the best chance of a win - or should he play a team with more untried players if he thinks that team has considerable less chance of winning?
I love leaving the SCG after a win (even better if ORB buys me a beer at the aftermatch - is there one? Aftermatch, not beer, that is.) and personally, I'm happy if the coach's goal is to make that aspiration come true.Comment

I don't like the fact that he is giving two players, two average players, yet another chance while "untried" youngsters are running around in the reserves. Given where we are at, it doesn't make sense.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.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
