I'll start off by saying that I absolutely do not want to lose Smith, but if we do - how would Biggs go in that role? Biggs debuted as a straight swap for Smith - the first debutant in a while to not get the vest.Comment

didnt Kirk trial with us 3 times before he made it
and made it he did Bro........made it he did !
no one wants to loose a champion like Smithy but if it is best for the squad and the squad comes first then that is the coaches call.......who knows....smithy might be here in 2014 anyway but I am just making a call that we could see with another preseason.........with another half a season of learning to be great at the little things in defence ie your man first and foremost then Rampe could......COULD starting making serious ground in the Smithy role by mid season
lets see as it will be an interesting ride either way"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I wouldn't be surprised if Jake Lloyd Perris (meaning either one or both) would become a good small defender one day. Good skills and footy smarts for a young player.Comment

Shane Biggs just doesn't have the body mass that Rampe has. And he never will. He is built like Captain Kirk. All sinue (sic) and bone, but strong enough - just probably not going to develop a rigg of awesomeness.
So yes a running off the backline defender, but last line of defence a la Teddy? and for that matter AJ too, no. He's a keeper though. Probably will make a very good tagger come to think of it.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Biggs knows how to find the footy and use it very well, but I'm not sure he's a lockdown type player. Going on Ressies watchers, the reason he wasn't rated a good chance at getting into regular senior footy was his weak defensive skills. And that he seemed to play well regularly without really imposing himself on the outcome. Am I twisting words here or is this what was a bit of a consensus during the season Ressies watchers ? ( until his debut of course )Comment

The talent in our club at the moment is frightening.
What chance Membrey getting a chance next year?
Also, talk by Emma Quayle on GWS being interested in Bernie Vince from the Crows. Would be another good signing by them along with Mummy and Shaw. Exactly the type of players they need though need at least another 3-4 to be competitive.Last edited by Mug Punter; 15 October 2013, 08:46 PM.Comment

1. If Tippo and Buddy kick 30 goals per match between them, the opposition will never get the ball, and therefore won't trouble our defenders.
2. Get Joel Tippett. Why TF wouldn't you?"Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

At reserves level his disposal was almost always effective, but I certainly didn't see a lot of his defensive skills. His debut form was a very pleasant surprise, I didnt expect such a great performance in the firsts - it reminded me of Reg Grundy's in that the performance was better than expected . . . And seemingly better than their performance in the 2's.Comment

Seems like both Mummy and Jesse will go cheap, third rounders by all the talk surely they are worth more than that.Comment

Nope, I'm certain I heard one of the Swans management on radio this week ... "Ugg is a required fan for 2014, he won't be going anywhere. Plus we have no interest in Demetriou's salary as we understand we would have to take Demetriou himself as part of the trade, which of course would break our no dickheads rule".CIA Agent to Policeman: "Have you ever had anti-terrorist training?"
Policeman: "Yes, I was married once."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.
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.
