If you took Ablett and put him into GWS, they would be a top 8 side.Comment
-
GWS played in the NEAFL not the VFL but yes besides that the pathway was the same. TAC Cup 2 years before joining the AFL, NEAFL/VFL 1 year before joining the AFL.Comment
-
I reckon the only place GWS has the Suns covered for the youngsters (and taking into account the Suns' extra year) is in the forwards. The Suns mids, backs and rucks all seem to be an overall better batch of young talent than GWS.Comment
-
I would not rate Sam Day, Tom Lynch and Charlie Dixon as that far behind Cameron, Boyd and Patton. Dixon is a better ruckman than the GWS guys and Sam Day is adaptable enough to be put in defence.
I also think that Gold Coast will become a very popular destination for out of contract players from Melbourne and Adelaide. They are coming towards a definite Premiership window, the Gold Coast offers privacy (like the Swans players enjoy) and the Gold Coast also offers an amazing beach lifestyle.
If you?re a Melbourne AFL star you can swap that female stalker for a MEETERMAID, who will protect your car from overzealous parking inspectors.Comment

Ha! I should probably do the same (or at least not read the AFL articles). But it's a bit like having an itch that I can't stop myself from scratching!Comment

Now here's a site worth reading - guru Paige Cardona has published a mock draft - wonderfully written, and check out her glowing praise of Heeney:

We need to keep Derickx as Pike is very old and the others are only just beginning their AFL careers.
The back line needs a complete rework, but we need to keep Towers and some of the others rookies who haven't been given a game.
My guess is that their will be a clean out of the old player; very sad not to see ROK finish on a high.
My dream would be him, Goodes and Hyphen finish with a premiership medal in 2014; dreams sometime come true!doof-doof

Isaac is very good..........it is always so hard to tell how far they will go when you see a young fella is filling in and fitting into an established midfield etc such as a ressies team that has Jake, Robo, Perris, Marsh, Mitchell, ROK etc etc are dominating week in week out
BUT
Heeney does remind me a lot of young Jude Bolton..............I know others have said Parker has displayed similarities to the way Isaac plays.......but I must say he reminds me a lot more of Jude........that same rigid body and great intensity into the pack and out of the pack with ball in hand
Parker (very first time i saw him) I immediately said to myself he is a 10 year player...........same with Tom Mitchell...........and it would be hard to argue that Isaac is not in the same category......Isaac has such in an intense energy around the stoppages, has a keen sense for goal and his ability to limit the opposition via his tackling is first class
I cant compare others in the midfield around OZ but Isaac is tremendously worthy of the praise he is receiving
great opportunity to get along this saturday to watch the Rams"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I've only seen him play live two or three times, and each time at NEAFL level where he's a relative baby, but I do confess I haven't witnessed the extreme speed described in that article. He's not a Jetta type that stays on the outside and blitzes into space. He does most of his work in congestion, where speed won't always be obvious. The description makes him sound like a young Judd, who was explosive in traffic. He may well have that ability but I've just not really noticed it thus far.
I do wonder if the hype over him is growing a little out of proportion, maybe fuelled by other clubs (and particularly other clubs' supporters) suddenly understanding about the Academy system and getting worked up that we might get an absolute superstar for a pick in the late teens.Comment

The best thing about that draft is she has the Swans with pick 18...telling.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.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
