Bring in Nankervis and leave him in.
ALF Today; Kennedy ready, McGlynn ready and Rohan to play his first game.
I don't get how Rose hasn't been played. Lively, has a go and can kick goals.Comment

Is B. Jack injured? I notice he was withdrawn as an emergency and did not play reserves. He would have offered more than Hiscox, particularly defensively where his League heritage allows him to lay great tackles.
I think Brandon would also be quicker over 20 or 40m than Hiscox. A middle distance runner is not nesasarily that fast over short distances.
Maybe someone can pull up the 20m sprint results from the draft.Comment

May i remind people that BJ has failed to perform at seniors level on all previous attempts. He is not the savior.Comment

If you look at NEAFL form prior to this year and compare it to this year, he is getting more of the ball, getting more inside and influencing games more. Ugg may want to confirm my feel there.
So if he has risen a level at NEAFL it is probable that he will rise at senior level as well. If he was fit last week, I think he should have played before Hiscox who has never accumulated at NEAFL level the way BJ has this year. They wouldn't have given him a two year contract extension if they didn't think he would make the grade just a 12 month extension.Comment

Agree with the above sentiments on BJ, would have made more sense than Hiscox. While I'm here, and while I know we all hate the Hawks, I must send a shout out to Jarryd Roughead, what he faces is something no one would wish on anyone, and considering the seriousness of returning cancer, I certainly wish him all the best with what will hopefully be a full recovery. Good luck to him.....although I fear the Hawks will use it for motivation against us, "win it for Roughy".

On the AFL website under the Hawthorn injury update Cyril Rioli is listed a "personal" with the estimated return as "TBC". Has anyone heard about this? Maybe he wont play this Friday night which would be really handy for us.Comment

It's looking more likely that Rohan will play this week with positive stories leaking out and no reserves game. The Hawks will have a young side with plenty of good matchups for him. With Reg taking the resting ruckman, there really isn't a good matchup for Ted. Their 2 'tall' forwards, Gunston and O'Brien are better defended by quicker players. I think we struggle with Reg, Ted and Laidler all in the side when playing against quicker forwards, especially at the MCG. I doubt that we will drop Ted, although I think it would be the right option.
I would also be inclined to bring in another player in from Rose, Marsh or Newman and give Papley a rest this week. I don't think Hiscox or Towers warrant another game and we should start looking for players that have something more to offer than those two.Comment

Yes. I thought Harrison Marsh could get the upgrade as a quick medium defender, but Rohan can do that job.
Ted Richards has a lot of goodwill, however he has entered the ROK zone. The way that a ruckman (Griffith) ran away from him was concerning. Griffith actually pulled ahead despite having the ball in hand. The worst thing about that play was that Ted's first reaction was to turn around and look for someone else to blame. Sometimes a KPD has to win a one on one. Ted would have noticed up the other end that Rance was involved in many one on ones and won a lot of them.Comment

Teds BOG a few weeks back has been hos own worse enermy. Hes in the twilight getting a game due to injuries.Comment

The withdrawal of Brandon Jack and Leonardis from the squad last week is puzzling. They did not play reserves and were not mentioned in today's injury report. No mention by Patrick Keane of the Swans being fined for changing their published squad. Discipline issues?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.
