Free agency finishes Friday as I understand. I think the AFL did it this way so the 3rd week will be opened up to other trades after the free agency moves go through. But as someone else mentioned way back in the thread it may be the AFL trying to eat into the publicity time for the spring racing carnival. Notice they have as good as floated today that it will 3 on the bench plus a sub with a maximum 80 rotations for 2013. Bartlett gets his way again. Must have photos.
They also threw up a teaser by giving out some of the 1st round games in 2013 and saying the rest of the draw is on it's way. So it keeps the fans' interest going up until draft time on 22/11. Then it the PSD and the Rookie Draft. The only time there seems to be a footy lull in Melbourne is the week of the Australian Tennis Open.Comment

Hmmmm, an interesting development.
A big call by GWS if they want to take a belligerent approach to their trade dealings with the Swans at this early stage or work together somewhat. The Crows would probably take pick 12/13 for Tippet. We could probably trade pick 23 plus TDL and Everitt to GWS for pick 12/13. Both those players would add depth to their squad, they keep number 1 pick and can still trade three first round draft oicks for topliners plus 23.
Win-Win?
My call is that the Giants need to be very very careful antagonising the Swans. Perhaps this is how is may happen as it looks like GWS are the only team in need of what we can offer (i.e. good experience at a fair price that still allows them to build a quality squad).
It's a big test for the maturity of GWS how they approach this.Comment

If the Crows want one of our premiership players then give them one - A choice of Hall, Williams, Bevan, or any of our 2005 team excluding Goodes, O'Keefe, J Bolton or LRT.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Apparently Tippett refusing to even talk to GWS. So a trade won't be done there. They'd have to take him in the PSD if all fell thru. Only time I can think of a club being usurped in the PSD for a player who wants to go to that club is John MrCarthy to Port, and Carlton cutting Collingwood's lunch with Stevens from Port.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

I can't see why GWS would want Tippett. They already have 2 awesome young Key forwards. With 5 of the top 13 draft picks they will certainly pick up ruckman Brody Grundy as well as another top KPF and KPD. If Giles and Grundy both play, rotating between the ruck and KF, there is just no room for everyone. Their whole strategy to this point has been to bring a whole team of young players together so they can make a serious run in a few years time. I personally think they have done a brilliant job.
As much as I think Tippett will help our side, I don't think we should be willing to give too much to get him. If he falls through to the PSD, maybe we get him for nothing, maybe not. I feel even with pick 23 we can land a reasonably good KPF in the draft and may even be able to trade up and give ourselves a better shot in this regard. There's still plenty of improvement possible in our forward line with what is already on our list. We are not desperate.
I also cannot believe the level of scrutiny we have come under just because we could make a play for Tippett. Any other team can win the cup and everyone applauds. If the Swans win, something is wrong and we are rorting the system. It's just sickening. I would love to show them we can win the big one again, even without Tippett, for surely if we win and Tippett does become a Swan, there will be no end to the amount of acrimony directed toward us.Comment

The collective noun for a group of crows is a "murder" . . . . and no I don't think it's got anything to do with South Austalia's penchant for shallow bush graves.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.

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.
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

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.
