I really want to see us add polish/silk to the midfield....if I could pick any player in the AFL right now for the Swans it would be Mitchell, followed by Burgoyne and Dal Santo (a year or two back). That's the type we don't have and haven't had in my time watching the Swans...beautiful users in traffic who get the ball out not by little handballs or quick kicks. We lost the centre clearances 21 to 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the GF. i know that a lot of that was Sewell as well, so the player I want is Broomhead....check out his video.
Jonathan O'Rourke and Nathan Hrovat are the others but they will be gone....high possession, elite skills by foot - now that's what I'm talking about!
But really like the look of Membrey too.....or possibly Ben Kennedy.....or Jackson Macrae

I like Broomhead, but I think there will be better choices at pick 23 and he'll probably be gone by pick 40, but if he's still around at our second pick, I would take him. Looks very versatile.
Membrey a slight chance of being available, but the rest likely to be gone by pick 23.Comment

Foxtel/Telegraph top 30 Phantom draft has given us tall forward Aiden Corr. Jaksch, O'Brien, Clurey, Membury, Lonergan, Colquhoun already taken. Hmmmmm .......

Sharp9....any player in the AFL who is good in traffic and silky........I would have thought Pendlebury. Head and shoulders above Mitchell, Burgoyne and Dal Santo.Comment

It's nice that we are in a position to take the best available player as we don't have any glaring weaknesses, especially if we think that Tippett will be coming our way. Some pundits are seeing Ben Kennedy slipping down the order, which would be a good pickup as well. Aiden Corr wouldn't be bad either. The thing is that there will be a few very good players to choose from even at our lowly 1st pick.Comment

Tougher than `09?
We have 7 picks after we elevated Harry, http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsartic...7/default.aspx
I don't think we've ever had that many picks, we customarily take only 3 or 4. The only parallel was the '09 renovation where we had picks 6, 14, 38, 54 & 55, this time we have picks 23, 45, 47, 66, 67 & 96.
Deep draft or no, finding the next Rohan, Jetta and Reid in that lot will be a huge challenge for Kinnear. Especially after the DirtyKurt debacle meant there was going to be no next McGlynn, Kennedy, Seaby and Mummy.Comment

But I guess you left it out 'cos we will being using that in the Pre-Season Draft, no? :-)"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

I'd like us to get some young tall key defenders as next year Teddy is 30, Reg 27, LRT 30 and we also need a young rookie ruckman or two in the Rookie Draft, maybe one in the main draft, as Pykie is 30 too and no Seabs next year.Comment

We had to trade/delist players (ie Spangher, Dennis-Lane, Heath, Seaby) to give us salary cap space to hopefully get Tippett. Our recruiting people, who I respect in spades, gave the media spin about us trading to improve our national draft order....minimal and a few extra picks which I personally don't mind.Comment

It will be on interesting ND on Thursday because of so many unknowns at the top end and the distorting by GWS having 5 picks inside 14, picks that may not take the most logical player as it would if 14 teams were taking those picks.
Other than Whitfield at No.1, who else will GWS take? How far will Grundy slide if GWS don't take him? Who will take a chance on potential bad results in Simpson and Garlett? Who will punt on injury prone Menzel and Stringer? Will the Swans grab a spud with pick 23 but snag a gun with later picks?
Must watch TV on Thursday night.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.

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.

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
