Our forward line will stretch their defence.
I'm wondering who will look after Rohan - he's suddenly emerged as our x-factor.
At the other end a vote of confidence in AJ minding Kosi in his first finals game.
A couple of days ago Lyon was saying that Gardiner would be the key to countering Mummo. Evidently he's decided Gardiner not match fit. A big out.

I think LRT is a good "in" for this week because of his extra height. He might get towelled up (but I don't know why he necessarily will - he is a very experienced defender) but if we didn't have him to start with, we would have no-one to really go with Kossie's height. Had Grundy been right to come back in, we might still have needed LRT in the side, which would have meant someone else unfairly missing out.
There's probably not much to choose between Kennelly and Malceski at the moment, given the Eski's groin issues. Sentiment probably prevails in the selection of Kennelly.Comment

I'm not sure who AJ will play on, St Kilda have 2 talls in Riewoldt and Kosi and 2 smalls in Milne and Schneider. There really is no 3rd tall (and they'll go down to 1 tall forward when Kosi rucks) or medium forward for AJ to play on. He might find himself drifting to the forward line because of a lack of appropriate opponents. The midfield matchups worked well for us last time that I think the Swans will hoping to replicate those same contests. McGlynn to tag Montagna and ROK to face off against Goddard in the midfield.
Dawson is the other big change for them since Round 22, but I'd still expect Blake to stick with White. Reid was quiet on the day, well held by Gilbert but I think Dawson might start on young Sammy this time, leaving Gilbert on the Spang. Dempster on Rohan seems a logical pairing and should be an intriguing battle given Seany's good blanketing form and Gaz's electrifying cameos.
Sub will be interesting, usually comes from the 4 man bench (unless late changes like last week) - White, Hannebery, Parker, Bird. We can rule Hanners out from sub duties given his form while White will be needed to relieve the Mummy leaving Parker or Bird. With McGlynn on tagging duties, Bird has been shunted to a defensive forward role and his place in the starting side isn't so secure any more. What kind of impact he can have as a sub is highly debatable.Comment

Ha, how dumb was that? Assuming that LRT was going to play as ruckman forward because that's where he was named.
Straight from the Horse's mouth:
We're still pretty tall upfront with White, Spang, Reid and occasionally Goodes.The coach said he was confident Roberts-Thomson could fill the role left by Grundy?s absence.
?Lewie Roberts-Thomson has played in defence for us for a long time. He is used to playing in that part of the ground so we?re confident he?ll be ok,?? Longmire said.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

so sad for reg,even if we win i doubt if he can recover.it takes weeks to get over glandular feverforgotten 1996
2005 a much sweeter memory,2012 even betterComment
-
great read, and my thoughts. I think depending on Birds foot it will be parker subbing.
I'm quite happy with selections, and don't worry about LRT he was a key backmen for 5 years, and no doubt has been training down that end this year (and mostly this week) against our big forwards.Comment

As Gardiner is named as an emergency does anyone think he might actually play?Comment
-
It is different for everyone and some people have glandular fever without even noticing symptoms. On the other hand, as an example, my daughter contracted the illness in September last year and is still off work with post-glandular fever fatigue. Terrible disease if it gets a hold.
I hope Reg has a full recovery for next season but, as a fan of LRT (and Reg too I might add), I'm sure he'll do a terrific job at CHB or deeper.Comment

Reg will be missed for sure, but we could scarcely wish for a better replacement to come straight in as cover...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ted's got a big game now and our midfielders need to have some degree of superiority to win. A little worried and nervous, but confident in the boys.
