He pretty much plays up forward, he didn't stand out at Drummoyne today. For mine Jones has really not done much wrong and I don't like the idea of giving away games especially when Jones has really earned his spot.
If Jones was not available I think you'd have to give Towers another spot because he was probably the best of a reasonably quiet bunch at Drummoyne. They didn't play badly as such but nobody apart from maybe Toby out his hand up and said they deserved to be picked.Comment

TLM is going to be tough this week.. Some were saying we shouldn't have Benny and Papley in the same team. I loved having a 2 little angry men out there today.. I don't know if it was just that the conditions were right to play both though.. If Jones comes in next week, then we will have 3 little angry men :-)Comment

McGlynn has been massively sold short by many on here, myself included. He just adds so much and he is deadly with clutch goals when we need them, that one today from outside the 50 was crucial. His mongrel and experience really complements the young brigade.
Speaking of our young players, what a remarkable list rebuild we have seen over on summer, from one of the oldest senior sides to one of the youngest.
I felt at the start of the season we needed to uncover at least one unheralded diamond in the rough and have a good half a dozen mid tier players improve.
Papley has been the roughie and what a find. And on the improvers, how much have Lloyd and Robbo improved? Lloyd is very underrated and Robbo has a bit of class while still working hard. Other improvers are Hewett (massive plus), Harry and Heeney and I'd also throw in Rampe who has taken his game to a new level.
Jones could still come good and Towers and BJ seem disappointing but it is a long season
I'd like to see one more debutant this year if they've earnt it but overall it's been a remarkable start to the season by a team that many were predicting would miss the 8, how foolish that looks now....Comment

I'd really like to see Rose get a game, sort of as part of this new wave of newbies, however there is just not a spot for him. Heeney, Mills and Papley seem to have nailed down a place for themselves while Robbo, Hewett and Towers, along with Jones have done the hard yards ahead of him. Maybe Rosie will just have to be patient but I would still like to see get an opportunity to show what he has to offer.

I would like to see McVeigh and Cunningham swap roles.
Cunningham looked good as a small defender. He can lock down, provide run and is a good kick.
McVeigh with his classy finishing (seen twice in the 3rd quarter) would be very dangerous as a half forward.Comment

Great to see Jetta seal the game for us
McVeigh was great today.
McGlynn was OK - he's always going to show pace and drive in each game, the question is if he can make it consistent.
Richards was never in doubt for me. He has shown over and over that he can come back from a poor game..
Papley seemed a man on a mission.
One rotation down for most of the game, so we showed some real stamina, especially after last weeks draining game.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Love that the players who were poor last week stood up today. McGun, Paps and Teddy were all awesome. Glad they persevered with Papley. He played a blinder today.Comment

That small ground is wider than any other ground in the comp and it is is only 8 m shorter at either end than the MCG. So "vis-a-vis" may we continue our 22-3 dominance.
A fortress like this is what provides mystique and in an even competition such an advantage is significant.Comment

Great crowd for a wet long weekend.
Even though he didn't get much of it, I thought Heeney was important to the win and got involved in the contest at critical times.
We haven't been good in the wet for a while but the rain played against their tall marking forward line.
Credit to McGlynn too. His attack in the ball for his intercept mark in the corridor was completely manic, but he was cool with his disposal too. The kick to Hewitt in the goal square was perfect.
That 4th qtr miss was vintage Jetta. Enjoyed his play so much in 2012, but after that he just went missing too often.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Quality win after being tested early. This midfield group just keeps giving and giving - can they keep it up all season?
What a treat to see Teddy have a day out! Reg and the entire back 6 had a great day against good quality competition. Got to be happy with this start, should be 6 & 1 by round 7.Comment

the ground was actually lengthened 5 metres in the latest revamp Graeme. It is now only 4.5 metres shorter than the 'G'. It isn't the widest in the AFL, even the 'G' is wider at 141 compares to 138 for SCG. In cricket mode it is wider than the 'G' by 1 metre but in AFL mode no. The 50 metre arcs are 50 metres. This is the page to look at from the Trust site.

Guys, its still a small ground where speed is less of a factor. To petrend otherwise it's folly.Comment

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.

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.

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.
