When we've traded in the past with Adelaide they have done well ie Peter Caven and Scott Stevens.
We also did Lewis Johnston for Tony Armstrong with them last year.Comment

Well no one knows the real circumstances except what we read in the news.
It wasn't bad enough for ROK to walk out and Swans were prepared to help him go. He wouldn't have re-signed if he wasn't happy and it probably got him a pay rise.
So very different to now. Adelaide has lost quite a few quality players. They wouldn't have left if everything was fine.
Did I sound like Liz????????

Adelaide have the @@@@s because we now have 2 of their good kids. Worse still, they are being raped by all and sundry, (bock, Davis).Well no one knows the real circumstances except what we read in the news.

They are scared, days are gone for draft allowing time. Unless they are home boys, who want to stick. They leave. In some ways it's sad, most SA junior footballers don't stay in their home stateComment

Very true - listening to Terry Wallace last week, he admitted that he (and other Melbourne people) had absolutely bugger all insight into how people were playing in the NEAFL. (I guess he just has Fox Footy, not Thundervision or any of the other streaming services we've been een lucky enough to have this year).Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

Tippett?
ROK is my favourite "old" player, not just cos of his duck bum but because of his elite running ability, kicking accuracy and ability to get in there and do some grunt work. Can't believe how much he flies under the AFL media radar!Comment
-
What type of bull@@@@ offer was Hawthorn trying to give us anyway? Was it a second rounder or something?
I agree, ROK is completely undersold. He was a really consistent high performing HF and his transition to the midfield has been incredible. Roosy should have relented earlier. He's got a great training attitude, is mentally very tough and you'd label him (alongside with Goodes) as the ultimate professional.
He's come a long way Ryan. I can still remember him being the young, handsome kid who wore a black armband every game to remember his brother. Now he is a vetran at the club, married with two young kids!
Anyway, back on topic I'm hoping by tomorrow we'll have some sort of indication of what were are willing to part with. The one-eyed Swans fan within me hopes its just a couple of draft picks, but the reasonable fair one thinks surely something else...Comment
-
Anyone reckon TDL, Everitt or the Big Jesse would warrant a club giving up a draft pick?
I think we just stick to our guns. Surely Adelaide aren't serious about letting him go for nothing when we can give them pick 23 and maybe a fringe first teamer or two. Just call their bluff Horse
I think KT would be a good pick up but I won't be shattered if we don't get him as there is a lot to be said for promoting from within and talent banking. If we don't get him I would try and tie up some of our talent to some front ended contracts to soak up the salary cap we obviously have. That should allow us to be a big player next year when free agency really starts to come into it's own.
It may actually be a blessing in disguise if we don't get him.Comment

Tippett?
I'm staggered at the amount of people who don't rate Tippett. The fact the Swans rate him should tell you something. I've said it before, but watch his PF against the Hawks and then imagine him at a club whose track record of getting the best out if players is second to none. Also then imagine Sammy not having to contend with the best defender each week. If that doesn't excite you then your not trying hard enough...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
