With Spangher and Rohan in the side late last year we made it into the finals and won a game. Everitt just doesn't have the goods to make it as a forward player. His efforts tonight were
cavalier for someone who really needs to lift to get a game. I would have played Pyke in that position tonight. He would have made a better selection."Play like you can’t lose."Comment

He shouldn't. Him and Walsh crushed every hope I had of making the top 4 over the pre-season. At this stage they don't make our side any better.
While you're here though Ugg is Jed Lamb pushing for selection? From lat year I've been watching Darling and thinking this kid could have been the answer to our prayers. Reid and Darling in the forward line...what could have been!

I think TDL missed a fair chunk of the pre-season. The couple of times I popped into training post Christmas he was doing a little running on his own but not part of the main session. So he probably wasn't ready for the early NAB cup games, and the reserves played for the first time today.
Based on his outing this afternoon (and the ongoing issues with the senior forward line) I think we'll see him in the seniors before very long. He kicked seven goals but wasn't playing as a stay-at-home forward. He even started in the centre square for a number of bounces, and to be found all over the ground. While he is likely to stay closer to goal at senior level, there were very good signs that his fitness has improved. And while he didn't look much bulkier than in previous seasons, his tackling was very good today.Comment

Everitt is a hack id rather veszpremi back. LRT is a great backman who is playing fwd for some reason.
Still reids goal kicking and hanneberry going missing concern me moreTheres not much left to sayComment

I didn't mind LRT in the forward line tonight. A friend said that 'he's playing in the forward line as a defender'. I think there could be worse things. He created chances for our smaller runners. Like it or not, that seems to be our style and it's okay in my book, at least until a better alternative comes along (Pyke, resurgent White etc).Comment

We need proper forwards. Or people who will at least make an attempt. TDL + Nipper should be there. Abandon height for skill and accuracy.Comment

LRT actually wasn't as bad as has been made out. It would have been nigh on impossible to have an effective forward line set up given the defensive mindset of GWS. He had a presence, kicked a goal... No, he is not the long-term answer as a permanent key forward but he could prove pretty useful as someone who can play both ends of the ground and be thrown into the ruck.
Yes, he's ungainly, which doesn't sit well with many on here, but he generally holds his own.
No such dispute with the comments on Everitt....Comment

No problems with LRT tonight - definitely think he played his role.
Not so impressed with Everitt however thought Goodes had a shocker - more concerned about that than anything else!Comment

I thought LRT as always competed well. He is limited up forward in terms of what he will offer, but he will offer a genuine contest 10 times out of 10 and despite his awkwardness is actually half skilled with the ball.
But as for Everitt- I thought he was generally just awful tonight. He just doesn't offer anything for me - I expect he won't be in the team when Spangher is fit, but I'd most certainly play TDL instead of him with Spangher not fit - TDL can't be any less useful then Everitt was tonight. At least he is a genuine forward option that can kick goals - I watched the second half of the ressies and thought TDL played well, and as commented by more astute viewers on here, he was all around the ground today."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."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.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
