Yes, I have been impressed with Laidler's attitude lately. I'm looking forward to seeing how Brandon Jack will go. And I also like Bird's inclusion: especially since it will something of a heavy track slugfest. Just a little bit surprised that Heeney wasn't called up though.Comment

Glad to see the Big Tasmanian getting another go.
I also like both B.Jack and Bird, so I'm very happy"The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment

A good set of ins. Yes, it would have been nice to watch Heeney back at work but his time will come and I'm pleased we've gone with experience for this match. I'm not anticipating a win but if they fight the good fight I'll be satisfied. This won't be the last time we play Hawthorn this season.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Changes since our Round 8 clash--
Out: McGlynn, Pyke, Rohan, Laidler
In: Nankervis, Bird, B. Jack, Jones
That's a lot of experience we're missing while Hawks have Hodge back and are almost at full strength apart from Frawley.
Given that, I wouldn't expect us to win but I hope at least we put in a much better showing than Freo and hopefully we learn a lot in the process. Sustained effort is all I ask.Comment

I wonder if the Swans fans will boo Mitchell given his liking of kneeing players who are in his vicinity. Given the need for Hawthorn supporters to boo Goodesy for apparently nearly maiming Gibson, perhaps they will whinge as usual if our fans boo the serial kneer.
Just on AFL 360 Mark Robinson said he has been contacted by another 3 players in the last 36 hours, with the inference that he has done it another 3 times. That is 6 times in a season. Lets say I think it is a dog act. I hope he gets the crap booed out of him.Last edited by Nico; 16 July 2015, 08:17 PM.Comment

I'm quite excited by those changes. I think Craig bird could be the best change out of them all his his experience and the harder edge he will provide to the team. I am sure he will tag Sam Mitchell and hopefully control him like mcglynn did for a lot of the game earlier in the year.
Nankervis should be as least as good as an injured Pyke but I suspect will be an improvement on what we've seen from Pyke given he's obviously been struggling with his knee. Nank doesn't need to win the ruck battle but if he is at least competitive and shows something around the ground then that's a win.
Richards is an obvious in but he needs to play a bit harder than he has been. Needs to stand his ground against the big forwards more.
BJ I reckon will be the sub and is a good option with some pace later as the game hopefully opens up a bit.
Pretty happy overall. Sad to have laids out as he's been very good for us this year. Maybe this is all part of the shaw plan. Playing with one less defender by "necessity" last week Richards this week laidler so jones cements his spot. Then when they are all "fit" to play the one who "sadly" misses out may just be shaw. Hmm.

I agree that BJ will probably be sub but I'd prefer him to play a full game. He deserves the chance to play a full 4 quarter game in the 1s. In saying that though he's really the only option, Harry can't be sub 3 weeks in a row, Lloyd is too important and Bird isn't that type of player.Twitter @cmdil

Seriously Pannell made the worst decision I have EVER seen in last weeks game between richmond and the blues. Kreuzer marked the ball over some tigers player who did not even touch the ball - not even touch it. And he paid the mark to the player in front.
I can't believe he is still umpiring AFL - if I was his coach I would have sent him off to see Willy v Box Hill or some such.Comment

Me and some mates watching that game were in hysterics at the mistake he made. It represented comically gold incompetence.
But what does it say about the umpires department that he didn't get ditched for a couple of weeks. I mean, what's it take?'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
