Malceski, LRT, Bird, Morton seem to have become untouchable since the flag. To be honest, they are fighting for spots in the top 22 with fellow fringe reservists in 2013, sames as they were in 2012.
As we learnt post 2006, playing players on grand-final credits doesnt work.Comment

LRT and Bird are some way off fringe reservists.
Malceski stepped up further this year and will continue to be picked if he shows that level.
Morton has well and truly earned his spot, not only for his goal kicking but for his defensive work and the pressure he can put on for others' benefit, as in his classy work to create Kieren's goal in the GF.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

I know it's tough to fit them all in....but...
No - LRT, Bird, Mattner, Parker, Morton....no chance.
Rohan for one is highly unlikely to play seniors for at least the first half of next year, if at all next year, I'm sure they will be conservative with him.
Mitchell has shown little so far, he needs to stay injury free and play plenty of quality reserves games before even being considered.
Armstrong is at the back of the queue for HB flankers. Needs to improve defensively, and spend some time in the gym.
Grundy will need to hold out LRT to keep his spot.
My team:
FB : Mattner Richards Smith
HB : Shaw LRT Johnson
C : Jetta Okeefe Hannebery
HF : McVeigh Reid Goodes
F : McGlynn Tippett Bolton
FOL : Mumford Kennedy Jack
INT : Malceski Pyke Parker Bird
EMG : Grundy Morton ArmstrongWhenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Mitchell is a 10+ year player for us and it's imperative that we get games into him in 2013.Comment

Queries at the moment re 2013 team are around Jude and Tippett. If Jude retires and we fail to get KT over the line there would just be a straight swap of McGlynn for Bolton. However, if Jude plays on and we get KT, we have our premiership team plus 2, McG. and KT. Leaving injuries aside, there would be 24 players to juggle each week. Who to leave out would probably depend on the make up of the opposition. It should make for lively selection table deliberations.
Then spare a thought for the fringe players.
Cutting the 24 to 22 for round 1, if all 24 were fit, I would leave out Jude for McGlynn and a tall for Tippett, probably Pyke.

our best XXII is also going to be determined by who we give up for Tippett.Comment

I have the view that what's imperative is that he proves his body is capable of withstanding the rigours of AFL. So far not so good. Rather than games I want to see Matt Cameron and Doc Gibbs solve what is going on.

I'd have it the other way around. The arrival of Tippett, if he comes, is going to push LRT out of the position he occupied for most of 2012. That doesn't mean he's not still a very handy player, just that there may not be a spot for him.
Bird, on the other hand, has been a critically important role player for the team. He's the most defensive midfielder we have - arguably the only one now that Jack has moved on to other roles - and has also shut down some very dangerous opposition attacking backs and contributed on the scoreboard at the same time. Tippett or no Tippett, I can't think of anyone else in the squad who has demonstrated the ability to fulfill the same role. (Well, Smithy maybe, but that would be pointless because we have no-one else to step in and play the role Nick's been filling for the past 3 seasons.)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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

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
