A cheeky suggestion has certainly invoked some interesting responses.
One point that has been massively missed is that if our midfield doesn't play well and stop the easy supply then we will be thrashed. However if our midfield dominates then I don't care who plays on Buddy, we will win.Comment

Hawthorn's defence is lacking tall defenders particulary Gilham. I would like to see some height in the forward line. Bring TDL and White in.Swannies for life!Comment

Gee, AJ on Buddy and White in the forward line
I'm with Plugger, I'd like to win the game thanks.Comment

At some stage it might make more sense to put White on Buddy ... but not just yet.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Good question!! I think Nipper definitely goes out for TDL. Parker starts on the bench. As for White...well that is where he may get stuck! I guess my point was more trying to stretch the Hawkes defence. He may not take as many marks / kicks goals as we would like BUT he does take another tall defender and usually provide a contest. The chain reaction type approach...Reid would then have their 2nd or 3rd best defender etc.Swannies for life!Comment

Roos made Crouch a great tagger by playing him on great players, I think he started on one N Buckley and got a self confessed bath, but in the end, we ended up with possibly the best tagger in the comp at that time, maybe this was the thinking behind the suggestion to play AJ on Buddy. It matters not, the game will be won in the midfield, and don't be surprised to see Buddy popping up in the square bombing from 60 metres outYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

I understand your thinking Matt 79. However, White has done nothing to justify his spot in the senior side. Also, even if we were silly enough to bring in White, Reid/Goodes would get the number 1 and 2 defenders and White would probably get the 3rd or 4th defender.
With Hawthorn a bit short on for height in their backline, I would bring in LJ for Gordon. Also, would try and find a spot for TDL, but don't know who to leave out, at this stage.Comment

When White has played as a forward in the seniors this year have Reid/Goodes always drawn the top 2 defenders? I'm not sure that they have.
Whilst I know he was far from a star, I think Jesse's struggles in the senior side have been overstated a bit. Being run in the ruck seemed to significantly take its toll on him, I don't think he would have spent more than half a game in the forward line (apart from the last game he played) and he's averaging the 3rd most goals per game for the team. He had 1 game where he had a chance to just line up as a forward (and didn't play well).I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Whilst he was excellent on the weekend and I am very excited about him, Reid kicked 3 goals (in a complete drubbing where his team kicked 18 goals), which brings him to a grand total of 4 goals on the season from 7 games. Apart from a game where he went down back, Sam has basically played exclusively as a key forward and has circa 80% TOG. White has kicked 6 goals from 5 games and has played about 50% of his TOG (roughly) as a key forward.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

Stellation, we may have to agree to disagree.
For a player that has been on the list for as long as Jessie (2006 National Draft), 6 goals from 5 games for a key forward
just doesn't cut it. An average of 6 disposals and 1.4 marks per game is not good enough.
Sam Reid has been on the list for a little over a year. His average disposals of 10.3 per game and 4 marks is a hell of a lot better then Jesse's.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.
