I actually think lrt has been very important in getting our forward structure right. I think we need Armstrong in for his pace even as a sub. Who ever misses out will be very unlucky.Comment

Bird stays in because we need all the run with players we can muster against the WCE. LRT goes to the backline to help cover for all their talls. So who plays on Cox and Nicnat when they are resting up front. They are bound to try to stretch our lack of height down back. What I noticed against North was that they were caught quite a bit for pace and on the hop with North's quick rebound. They got back into it as North started to run out of legs. So we need to work the ball quickly into our forward line and through the midfield.Comment

I'm sorry but LRT was shocking last night. He seemed to fall over every time he ran towards the ball. LRT is a backman not a forward, he has no forward instincts. Spangher would take LRT's role perfectly. I'd love to see Everitt and LRT out for Spangher and TDL and then we actually have what could be a threatening forward line which could see us take the final step to being premiership contenders. How good would we be if Rohan wasn't injured! Our depth this year has been outstanding! Very excited for the next 2-3 yrs.
But overall good game last night and always great to knock the Pies off the top of the ladder!
However I doubt there will be any changes for next week, as Parker is probably still another week away and Longmire would never drop LRT, only Mattner coming in for Armstrong or maybe give Johnson a rest.Comment

Longmire will drop LRT just as soon as LRT's not delivering what he's asked to every week, or when there's a better option available for a given game. (I just have this saved so I can copy and paste now.)
Parker's a good chance to come back next week, even with the big ground. He's just such a good little player. He was clearly on another level in the Reserves and with a bye, I can't see them leaving him out just on lacking a bit of fitness. He'll probably be the sub. Everitt had a couple of wobbles but overall probably did enough to keep his spot. Armstrong is likely to be the unlucky one.
Assuming Marty's back, Mal is also be dropped again - though I liked most of his game too.
Going over to watch so this week is going to seem like a looong wait!Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

I'm happy for LRT to stay in the team because a) we're winning and b) he seems like a nice guy. I thought he was OK yesterday in those moments when he was on his feet.
In the last two games TV commentators have showered unprompted praise on LRT. Words like "swingman" and "important to the team structure" were used, though no-one has come right out and said he's playing well.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Barring injuries, no changes is my bet - although I wish we could squeeze TDL in who would go well at Subi.up the gutsComment

Considering we aren't playing the pies or hawks at the MCG this home and away season, then next week will surely be the hardest game we are likely to play outside of finalsup the gutsComment

While there are a lot of valid reasons behind not changing a winning team, and Horse has consistently demonstrated his selection policy, I think TDL has to come into consideration for next week. I think we're a little tall and not quite mobile enough for Subiaco (or whatever it's called this week). I'm not going to nominate a fall guy, because everyone's putting in right now and it's too easy to single individuals out and turn the thread into a witch hunt. Wish we had Gaz for next week though.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

The forecast for next Sunday in Perth will be a few showers and not sure when McVeigh need to play Dad's duty - So some factors in the the changesComment

Unfit Parker
Agree 100%. The big Subiaco ground will definetly find out a player who is not fully fit. Parker has missed too much football. I would include Mattner for Everitt. Cannot drop Malecski as he played his best game for about 3 years. Everitt will be stiif, because he did not play that bad. Bird had a poor game, but he has had some good ones in the past and in Subiaco you need endurance to last the 4 quarters, which Bird has. This is the first time this season that I find it diifcult to drop anyone!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.
