He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball) -
I think Mills will consistently be in our 22 unless he is injured, and so he should be. He is up and down, but he is going to learn a hell of a lot more in the first 22, where he is contributing reasonably, to playing in the NEAFL - a level even at this stage I'd argue he is a fair way above.
For once I agree with Luke - when it all clicks, he is going to be a sensational player for us. We have much larger issues to worry about than Mills in my book - although I'd stop choosing him to do kick outs as often, as we really need to smarten up on that part of our game."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Wasn't Saturday night just a reminder that we've got a young team that will make mistakes? I know it felt kinda sick at the time but it's not obvious to me that any other combination of players on our list today would have made a difference. We should certainly be striving to do our best this year, but I'm not convinced we'll see anything more than these types of hit and miss efforts.
Surprised on the hate for Hiscox - thought he was fine as debutants go. McVeigh on the other hand had several unforgivable turnovers for a player with his skill set. Hopefully, Parker and Mitchell have apologised profusely to Hanners and Josh - they are the only people they really owe an apology to.Comment

[ When our mids are under the pump and don't get back, our backline is very vulnerable. I would put Jones and Mills in the Macca basket at the moment, do their bit but when the chips are down unable to make an impact.
Wow, you are comparing a 270 gamer and captain, to 2 blokes how have played 20 games between them.
Hmmmm..Comment

Zac Jones had 9 possessions. Brisbane 13, Essendon 15. There is a lot of love on here for him, but the tough style a few dashes doesn't mean a lot. When is he going to play a game when we go, wow how good was that. Hasn't done it yet and don't care how many games he has played.
Is he worth his spot. Just saying.........Comment

There are stats and then there meaningful useful stats.
I50s -1st Sydney Avg 63.1 = meaninglessness stats
or
Conversion I50s - 10th Sydney 23.1 % = bomb it in..

I agree that his early form has not been sustained. His tap work seems alright and he does compete reasonably well in contests around the ground, although could probably lift his contested mark average a little.
The two areas of concern are goals and fitness. His goal kicking is not great and he does not seem confident with it. Also, he doesn't run out games well, and looks done by the fourth quarter.
Interesting statistic from Jake Niall in his Fox Footy piece on our alleged Buddy over-dependence:
The Swans recruited Callum Sinclair to share ruck and forward duties with Tippett, who has performed well as a ruckman. Sinclair, alas, hasn?t cut it in attack ? he?s won just four contests, lost 13 and had 12 ?draws?? (squared contests) when the ball has been kicked to him as a forward.Comment

Watched the game again. Feel more composed. Feel like we will gain more from the loss than we would have gained from a win.
I think it is time.to rest Papley.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

I can't believe Hanners only got 6 votes in the coaches votes. I thought he played almost the best game I've ever seen him play. Without him we would have lost by 5 goals...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Votes were
- 8 Martin (Rich)
- 7 Griffiths (Rich)
- 6 Hannebery (Syd)
- 6 Miles (Rich)
- 3 Franklin (Syd)
Since there were only 5 players in total, it means every player received at least one vote from each coach.
Hence Franklin can only be 2-1 and not 3-0. That means the player who received the other 1 vote had to receive 5 votes from the other coach. i.e. either Hanners or Miles received a 5-1, with the other receiving a 4-2
Which means Martin got 5-3 and Griffiths 4-3
Coach 1
- 5 Martin
- 4 Miles
- 3 Griffiths
- 2 Franklin
- 1 Hanners
Coach 2
- 5 Hanners
- 4 Griffiths
- 3 Martin
- 2 Miles
- 1 Franklin
OR
Coach 1
- 5 Martin
- 4 Hanners
- 3 Griffiths
- 2 Franklin
- 1 Miles
Coach 2
- 5 Miles
- 4 Griffiths
- 3 Martin
- 2 Hanners
- 1 Franklin
Now take a guess and which scenario is more likely and which coach was the one who gave 5 to Martin.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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
