John Worsfold disagrees
He is certainly more likely to play in a premiership now given the state the Eagles' list is in these days!!?You would expect O?Loughlin to have a little bit more footy smarts over Spangher and a little bit more strength, but I know who?s more likely to play in an AFL premiership right at this point.?
And yes that was the match Hall knocked out Staker.Comment

Longmire talks about the selection of Spangher and how it will help our depth and how our defenders are not getting any younger

Ahm Back! Carked Computer!.
quite frankly I think Spangher at 73 is a pretty good deal. We got a grown up, and at the same time he is only 23, but a grownup in footy terms.. We got a big unit who is game fit. We got a guy who wants to come to Sydney and has already acknowledged this is the club that can help a bloke get the best out of himself. We got someone who has an ex teammate here who can be useful as an encouraging mentor. We also got someone I had rather thought in the past had a bit of "something", and for the life of me I cannot tell you why....just one of those things. And I like his face.
I mean, 73! Could be a bargain buy. Especially at this stage of player selectionLast edited by Primmy; 20 November 2010, 08:42 PM.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Only if he gets games undeservedly. LRT, Grundy and Bolton will be picked if they're fit to play. Spangher, Reid, Everitt could all play key roles in defense if one of the former group goes down with an injury (or bad form rut for that matter) so the best performed of those in our reserves games should be in to the team. That's always going to be subjective and people will no doubt say oh man that guys clumsy or have no sympathy if he gets caught holding the ball cause everyone could clearly see he was about to get caught and he was just so damn slow. same things we're said of lrt. just like any other new draftee, he could never play a game for us. but he fits a criteria we need right now. also i think this means the end of richards in the eeniors. I think he should go to gws, he still he has a lot to offer a footy club.Comment

So...just to prove how right I was with my "West Coast is toxic under Worsfold" comment.....notice that the article is headlined 'I have faith in players" in which he specifically references 3 players who he de-listed within 2 years (Spangher, McKinley and MacNamara). I always thought he was complete pooh as a coach...never gotten over his pig-headedness at not putting a spare man back even with a minute to go in the 2006 QF...what a dunce. Perfect case of winning a Cup "in spite" of the coach. A tough/cheaty bastard as a player...first one picked (gulp - except for the '94 GF :-) ) but has no feel for people (IMHO!!!!!) just the same as a similar player in Voss. Only difference is Voss was not gifted as good a midfield as you will ever see."I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

Why? He was our final selection after two years of what looks like wonderful drafting of some great young talent, he was taken to add depth and depth only. No-one on here has claimed he's going to be a champion or win a Brownlow or two, there hasn't even been the "future leader of the club" tag put on him.
The two articles explaining the reasons for Spanghers selection, looks to me like the drafting/coaching panel felt there was some explanation needed.
If he under performs, it's no biggy really.Comment

i wont be grilling him, i always take the positive view

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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.
