Out -T.Mitchell (to rest no ressies),B.Jack,B.Mcglynn
In -Rohan (sub),Lamb,Towers.
Young Tom has looked weary the last 2 weeks and while still having an impact may benefit from a freshen up,BJ id be tempted to rest completely as well and Mcglynn shouldnt have walked straight back into the side imo.Lamb is fit and playing well,Towers deserves an oppurtunity and Rohan needs to be sub this week or put him in cotton wool for next year.Comment

A good choice of INs. But I think we have to play Benny so he can get back up to speed quickly. He only missed 3 weeks. I would give him a tagging role on Montagna this week, which should force him to be involved in the game. He is actually quite a good tagger. Lamb and Bolton can hold down the small forward spots.Comment

Something tells me that Horse will put Rohan in for the Geelong game. Gaz has many family and friends out Geelong/Colac way and it would be an extremely popular inclusion for all supporters (Swans & Cats) at the game. Also, an appropriate reward for the kid to make his comeback in his 'home backyard' after having a real hard time coming back from a terrible injury. I'm sure his family and friends would be over the moon if he returns for this game.Comment

Some good comments on giving Mitchell a week off. The coaching staff could easily list him as injured with "soreness". I love what Tom has done to date but a week's rest now strikes me as a good strategic move with finals to come.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

I think Harry deserves another run in the 1s. He was very good in the Ressies on the weekend and he could become more important next year, so getting another game into him now would be a good move. Also a good chance to give someone a rest this weekend.Comment

I don't know where you are getting your info but mine says Rohan has more chance of coming back than Goodes. Sammy & Jetts are better placed than Goodes. At least Rohan is playing, Goodes has only just started running and is not yet on full paced running.
Shaw & Benny were liabilities last game as they are not match fit. They should not have played against a very tuned up Pies unit. Don't know about changes but Lamb has not played so maybe Twos for him. Maybe Towers in for Shaw. Give Biggs the green vest just to give him a taste. Our side is not going to be settled anyway with so many to come back in the coming weeks. Rohan kicked three last week but was blowing by the last quarter. Would love to see him do the Sub duties but needs match fitness. He WILL be ready by finals.Comment

I tend to agree with this. Nothing wrong with what Hanners did. It's just a haircut. Probably felt like he was going into battle. Actually a good thing.
Re resting players....I get the feeling that no senior players will be rested. We don't have a lot to choose from. Playing Towers or Biggs against the Saints is utterly pointless. Better off getting match fitness into Shaw, McGlynn and Rohan. I think the resting can be done by having very light week on the track for those that need it.
I don't know about anyone else, but right now I couldn't care less about the future - we have a 2013 flag to win. It's not every year you hook up a top 4 spot. It's not a run-through for future years."Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

I agree with you...Until we are out of contention...It's about the present..We can worry about the future in the off season.
And yes, McGlynn and Shaw need to play, as much as possible, to find form and fitness.
I'd love to see Rohan in for BJ but think that's probably at least another week away. In which case Lamb in for BJ.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Very unlikely to change the White/Tippett/Ruckman forward structure this week as the Saint's are woefully undersized down back.
I just hope I don't see 3 giant Swans forwards all competing for the same pack mark this week, last week was horrible. Our forwards must get better separation, if they clump together it makes it too easy for our opponents defence.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.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
