I also wish him the best whatever he does, but I still have a feeling that he was badly informed and guided by his manager in his quest to seek another Melbourne club. One would think that his manager would have sounded out his prospects before requesting a trade. His latest comments about missing out and not being fazed sound like damage control. At the end of the days he and his manager took a gamble which failed miserably.Comment

With X something's not adding up. After he requested the trade and no club showed any interest it was reported that his manager was saying he'd try and stay at the Swans. Now he's been delisted (for whatever reason) he's saying he always wanted to leave Sydney. So X is contradicting his manager.Comment

I don't wish him anything. I don't know him.
I often wonder how football players see their fans at times, criticising them for their employment choices. Surely they see things differently than the fans who feel some kind of investment in their lives because they play for a team they support.
Reminds me of the Ted Danson questioning Kristen Bell to try and find out of she was a good person and he asks "if she has used social media to state how emotionally invested she is in a Bachelor relationship"
In the end XR was on our list for a while, found it hard to get a game, ended up getting a game in a different position that he wanted to play, and did ok.
Hardly a dominant run at the Swans.
It wouldn't bother me if re redrafted him, but also doesn't bother me if he moves on.
Don't really care about his reasons to change employers.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

This is a pretty shocking. Tom Derickx is described as a delisted free agent miss!

The draft is happening in Sydney on 25 November. Does anyone know where and how you can get tickets?All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

I think you're being sarcastic but actually I don't think he was a miss. We never expected more of him. That's why we re-signed him despite having plenty of rucks on the list. He was a depth player that stepped up and was serviceable when our frontline rucks got injured and we needed him and while our developing young rucks weren't ready. Apparently he was good company for the boys around the club the rest of the time. And we definitely gained by the association with his interviewing skills.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)Comment

+1, but I can't help but think Teddie's retirement has a lot to do with his desire to not stick around Sydney......but how important is a footy career to him
? I agree that his apparent 'lack of disappointment' is indeed damage control following some bad judgements from his manager and about his own value as an AFL player. He will have to live with those decisions now......hopefully without regret. Good luck with that X.........

I don't know about GWS academy player Sam Fisher, but I would think the other 8 will all be taken in the ND. It just goes to show how strong their academy zone is.Comment

Over half the kids either in Albury or Mildura, hardly development zones.
Surely their zone will take a haircut from this draft and rightly so. And then you look at our zone and for all the time and money we have spent (much more than GWS I suspect) all we'll probably get is a rookie or two.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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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.
