We'd be better off signing him than Carlisle, given he's an unrestricted FA at the end of the season and will be very cheap.
He's strung a couple of months together in the VFL now, playing predominantly as a forward though. He's kicked a few goals but his stats haven't been anything to write home about.
Still could be worth picking him up, even if it's only as depth...we all know how Laidler worked out. We probably need someone a bit taller than 191cm though.Twitter @cmdil

I wonder if Joe Daniher is regretting his decision.Comment

Rumour has it we wouldn't have gone for Buddy is Joe had chosen us as his F/S destination. As much as I love Buddy and the way he has played I would take Joe (plus Mummy and others because we wouldn't have been slapped with the trade ban if we hadn't recruited Buddy) over Buddy. It's not a criticism of Buddy in any way and it's a totally hypothetial question of course....
Commercially though Budy has been immense
I'd say he if he had his time again he'd definitely be in red and whiteComment

I wasn't aware that Joe could have nominated us as a FS club. And you're right, without Buddy, our list would look really different.
He has made a significant impact on the club. His presence in the forward line is great; he can be an excitement machine; he has won games off his boot; memberships and media attention have risen; we got hit with trade bans shortly after signing him; that's a lot of dough / time on a contract for one player; he draws the best defender each week et al. I certainly love having Buds in the team. I suspect the boys love playing with him.
If we can nab Mills & Dunks at this draft & continue to produce quality players in the seconds who are challenging for spots in the firsts & let our recruiters do their thing after they are free to play again, then we should be alright.Comment

What do we think about picking up Harley if hes let go by Suns , needs a firm hand . Really think with Jetta /Goodes under his wing could knuckle down ?Comment
-
We can only trade for players that will earn $340,000 per year or less which makes him unavailable to us.Twitter @cmdil

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
Also, highly likely both Goodes and Jetta won't be here next year (and before the usual suspects starting railing at me for that comment it's just my gut feeling that if Jetta was going to stay he would have re-signed by now)
Someone will give him a second chance but he isn't a kid anymore and from all reports his partying is very very hard core. I wouldn't be surprised if he will command super coin to be honest - maybe a club like Hawthorn with a really strong culture and a real bad ass as a coach (Claaaaarko) could work.Comment

For starters he was banned for drinking infringements as well, not sure if it's just journos parrotting the same line but one like this:
from the Courtier mail "If the arrogant, rock star ways continue, he is history. If he embraces change, he has a chance to stay." No Cookies | The Courier-Mail
Or the fact he wanted to fight Robbo at the Brownlow last year and was described a loose by Campbell Brown (pot calling kettle black) No Cookies | Herald Sun
Or this one
No Cookies | Herald Sun
I can't find the article that I was looking for that I read but I'm sure you can google as well as I canComment

Enough incidents that even if only a small amount were true that would be enough to turn me off him too.
But then again, good performances seem to put a lot of indiscretions into the background and if he was targeted by our recruiters you would have to have faith that the Club would be able to get him focussing on footy again. Remember Buddy was going to come in a destroy the teams culture."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Part of me feels sorry for Bennell, as Swan said to the U10s yesterday, just don't get caught...
He may well be an A grade partier but chances are there are worse animals out there that just haven't been caught, though he does seem like a serial offender
Look at the Weagles in th mod 00s - Cus, Kerr, Chick, Gardiner, Fletcher et al. I was an open secret they were all coked up to the eyeballs but the AFL just did not want to know about itComment

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
