Another great game from JPK tonight - easily player of the finals for the Swans IMHO. Has been a great pickup this year and has improved and shown his value as the season has gone on and I look forward to seeing him as a 200-game R&Wer.
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

For mine, clearly better than last week. Heroic. Appropriately enough, as good at the stoppages as Kirk at his best (and a little bit quicker!).
You want to see the season go on, if for no other reason, because on his current form trajectory he would have played a G. Ablett sr 1989 GF level of game against the Saints next week.Comment

Kennedy is turning into a star. All I can say is what on earth was Hawthorn thinking letting him go?Comment

two great finals...................just get the sense he feels like he really belongs know. I would love to know how many tackles he breaks in a game. Or how many times it takes two or three to bring him to ground.Comment

Watching him last night it is obvious that he is as phenomenally strong. In the packs, he gets it and for the next 2-3 seconds uses brute strength to force break free and push through the wall of players, getting out a deft handball somewhere along the line. If he wasn't as strong as he is, he'd constantly be pinged for holding the ball.
He's also a diesel williams style runner. Not fast but always moving and what's more, knows where to go. He's not the fastest player and his kicking can be a bit off, but neither is that important to his role. Oh, he can also go forward and kick goals, a handy attribute.
I think about the next four years and I can see a powerful midfield taking shape around Kennedy
Insides - Kennedy, Bird and Mitchell
Outside - Jetta, Hannebery, Rohan, Meredith
(dunno where to classify Jack and McGlynn - could be either)
If we can retain and develop Reid, Johnston and White, then I think we will be well placed. Still, there will be 17 other teams out there...He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Its the brute force thing that gets me. I think it also stunns the umps into watching the events unfold instead of blowing the whistle. Wonder who told him to just wrestle the bejesus out of it. Whatever, it works.
OK, do we want to set up a book next year on whether or not Joey can deflate a Sherrin in a contest?If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

His last two games have been first class. He's found a club that suits his game perfectly. He never loses his feet which is the trait of all the very best midfielders."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I reckon the umps must love him because they seem to swallow the whistle a bit more now than they used to, to give the players a chance to get it out rather than have another ball up. He doesn't dive on it (a la Ben Mathews), he wrestles it out and gets things moving. Having said that, being tackled by him would be like being put in one of those car compactors. Ouch.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Brilliant again last night, and those two games I think will make him as a player. He is going to be integral to our midfield going forward, and he tried so desperately hard to drag us over the line last night."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Its fun when you see "the moment" a player's light gets turned on.
By that I mean when it goes from being "I play for the Swans" to "I'm a Swan". I think this happened for Joey on a deeper level in the last few games.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
