Probably a bit generous to O'Keefe, who was at least as inconsistent as McVeigh.
Sounds like the only players they see as likely to go are Gilchrist and possibly Currie. Hard to argue with those two, but I think there's warning signs for a few more than that.
Otherwise, a pretty balanced and fair assessment. -
Pretty spot on
The writer must have been reading RWO especially for the rookies and reserves comments...or was the writer UGG??????"The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment

I hope not! They've left out poor Chris McKaigue and Jake OrrealComment

Seems accurate assessment. So Currie is contracted in 2011, so possible trade bait. Missed Orreal and McKaigue.
So from the senior list we will lose: Kirk, Barlow, Thornton, MOD. Pyke and Gordon as rookie elevations.
I can't see us getting anything for Currie as he has had no senior experience. Vez might have some trade currency. Bevan and Big Ted, have done enough to keep themselves on the list.
Should be interesting if Swans do much during trade week but I doubt it.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

I'd say that sounds about right.
I would have question marks over Barlow, Veszpremi, Thornton, MOD, maybe Meredith and Currie.
If we had to make the minimum number of changes this year, I'd say the first three are currently in line to get the chop. Because of the strong performance of many younger players this year, there's really nowhere to hide if you're not performing - especially if this is your 3rd/4th/5th year in the system. Of the "fringe" guys, I would say Teddy, Bevo, Smitty have done more than enough to stay on.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

Fair article - I for one hope we have a quiet trade period and delist as few as required. I think we put together a great 2010 squad that will hopefully only get better in 2011.Comment

Gets you pretty excited for next year reading that. Cant wait to see more of Rohan, Reid, and hopefully some Johnston and Vezpremi too. Jets will be better for a year of senior footy under his belt. Add to that an injury free McGlynn, Braddy and Seaby, the vastly improved Grundy, Jack, Smith and Kennedy, and a little more consistency from the old soldiers, and a top four finish should be the aim. Bring on 2011 !Comment

It is imperitive that you keep refreshing the list. If there is a trade out there worth having we will be in it up to our neck.
The club that thinks it has the squad ready to challenge and doesn't make changes, does so at their peril.Comment

Thought it was a fair assessment of most players. Make sure you have a look at the assessments of other clubs too, good reading.Comment

Generally a fair assessment and plenty to look forward to. From the players on our list this year I thought K. Jack progressed from good solid tagger to exceptional and was the most improved player on the list (not including recruits as I don't have as good knowledge of their history). Do You agree? and who will be the big improver next year? I think we have a few that could quickly become stars but from a few reserve games I have seen, Byron Sumner seems to have raw talent. I'd love to see him have a big preseason and earn a spot in the seniors next year. Would be great to see uncle Byron and nephew Lewis wreaking havoc. I'm ready for next season to start, it's going to be a long wait.Comment
-
WOW. After many many many years we finally have an assessment that looks to be well researched (even if that is on RWO). Progress!Comment
-
Agree totally Nico. The recruiters should be looking for as successful a trade/ recruit period as last year not sitting back saying it could never be as good. There are 3 draft picks and I imagine a reasonable amount of room in the salary cap to go shopping with and a few players I wouldn't mind seeing gone for a good trade.
Another good off season like last year could see us firmly in the top 4 in 2011.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.

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.

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
