I actually think Xavier is the better one on one defender at the moment, and I think the reserves coaches also see it this way with Richards often getting the more dangerous forward, but this may not be the case a year or two down the track with Aliir's rate of improvement. Richards is an honest battler who rarely gets beaten in the NEAFL, can play on talls and smalls, but the question will always remain whether he is capable of bridging that huge gap between NEAFL forwards and AFL level forwards.
The thing is if either Xavier or Aliir (or both!) make it as regular senior players it will be the first time since our move to AFL Canberra and subsequently the NEAFL that we have developed a key defender in our reserve grade side by playing him as a defender. Our tall(-ish) defenders of the past decade:- Leo Barry - failed forward turned into a key backman.
- Craig Bolton - recruited from Brisbane.
- Heath Grundy - regularly played as a forward at reserves level, and kicked bags of goals for fun.
- Alex Johnson - has never played an official NEAFL game. 3 practice games in 2011 before his memorable debut and consecutive run to the 2012 flag and then sadly it was another NEAFL practice game last year when he did his knee again.
- Jeremy Laidler - recruited from Carlton.
- Dane Rampe - 2 NEAFL games.
- Ted Richards - recruited from Essendon, and while he did have stints in reserve grade they were never for an extended period.
- Lewis Roberts-Thomson - reserve grade football in the VFL.
and then the failures:
- Alex Brown - no senior games
- Matthew Dick - no senior games and reinvented as a winger by Carlton
- Campbell Heath - injuries cruelly cut short his career.
- Jordan Lockyer - no senior games in 2 years.
- Jack Lynch - cut after one season.
- Brendan Murphy - a lot of hype, but no senior games.
- Max Otten - no senior games
- Matt Spangher - often injured or out of favour.
- Tommy Walsh - a couple of senior games.

Kennedy out - Hiscox to debut

Don't quite follow the story
So Hiscox wasn't one of the 3 emergencies yesterday, now he is in. Rose and XR replace BJ and Leonardis as emergencies - but does that mean BJ and Leonardis are also in? I'm guessing no otherwise a lot more would be made of Leonardis making a debut too.
All in all, very confusing.Comment

As far as I can tell leonardis and bj are no longer emergencies and hiscox is into the starting team instead of jpk.
So the emergencies now will be Rose XR and nankervis.
No explanation as to why the emergencies have changed. I hope bj and leonardis are ok. I agree it's all a bit suspicious. I wonder if there has been some trouble and its disciplinary. All speculation on my part I don't know anythingComment

Is there a fine in there somewhere for all these changes? Didn't think they could do this.Comment

So final changes are
In: Hiscox, T.Richards, Towers
Out: Kennedy, McGlynn, Robinson
Emg: X.Richards, Rose, Nankervis
Not like for like at all which means that there will have to be restructuring.
Teddy back into defence probably means McVeigh back in the midfield to place Kennedy. Hiscox and Towers to replace half-forward/wingers McGlynn and Robinson with either Heeney or Hewett getting some time of the inside midfield time McGlynn was getting.Comment

I never get to see the reserves so I'd welcome some information on Hiscox, particularly where he plays.
Joey is big out so I can see how it would shift the whole balance of the team and hence the new reserves.
I've suddenly got a lot more nervous.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.

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
