Generous extensive interview with Ben and he handled it astonishingly well.Comment

Mcveigh was sensational. So cool under pressure - because he has played in GF's. So too Kieren Jack. Disagree with the earlier poster that he is past it. Jack too is cool under pressure. Jones was magnificent tonight BOG for mine. McCartin as an experiment for me was a waste . Was out of his depth. Would have preferred Fox by a mile. Oliver is good but he made a couple of bad decisions tonight - perhaps getting a bit above himself. Hayward great. What has Newman done not to get a game? Keep playing the young guys I say. Hannaberry will have to wait IMO until the young guys start to drop off. Heeney started the season looking super fit but he too tends to make some dumb decisions and hang on to the ball too long at times. But that is pressure and they all did well tonight. How good is the backline - Grundy, Rampe, Lloyd and Smithy. Thought Robinson was OK tonight and Harry Cunningham was fabulous.Comment

Disagree, McCartin was very good at bringing the ball to ground, giving a contest and his chasing was also excellent. Mature beyond his years.Comment

I stand by my comment.
He hasn't been absolutely terrible, but having watched every game this season, he hasn't been the elite-level he is capable of.
As for our best and fairest (i.e. MVP to us Yanks), I would argue it has been Sinclair. He has been solid in the ruck this season....kicked far beyond what I thought he was capable of...he has been just tremendous!Comment

For what it's worth, Ch 7 reckons McVeigh is fine. Parker iffy "but was going for the ball and Impey played out the game". On the replay it was more a glancing hip/buttock to the side of Impey's head. Imagine the uproar if Parks gets off after NicNat's suspension.

Weird game.......seven goal kickers in all, three for us.
GOALS
Hawthorn: Gunston 5, Breust 3, Roughead, Morrison
Sydney: Ronke 7, Hayward 3, Parker 2 .......very strange.Comment

I really liked what I saw tonight - did some really good stuff I thought for a young guy on a tough night for a key forward playing his first game. Looks to be a popular guy round the club and has some talent. A long way to go of course, but I can definitely see why we picked him up. Happy for him to be picked until Budster/Reid comes back. Certainly helped create some structure up forward which really helped."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Just a great win for the club tonight. Lots of young players coming of age, Ronke of course, Hayward solid as a rock, Florent running his legs off and stepping up at the death, McCartin debuting and creating a contest. I think we have lifted the Hawthorn curse.

What a game.
The first 5-10 mins were critical imo with the chipping through the backline in setting the tone. Made it clear to Clarkson that he couldn?t just pull numbers away from the ball as they?ve done with the last few games flooding our backline to open up our forward line.
Grundy was immense tonight. Flipped the bird to the peanut gallery.

The fact Impey played out the game is a good sign for Parker. But who knows with that muppet Michael Christian.. Ryan Burton got off after electing to bump and hospitalizing a playerComment

If Tom Mitchell can elbow Todd Goldstein in the back of the head and get away with it, I'm sure McVeigh will be fine. It's all about the impact and the result of the contact for the AFL MRP.
Also, I haven't seen him mentioned yet, but Cunningham quietly claims another scalp this year. Shut down the potentially damaging Isaac Smith who had just 16 disposals tonight and Harry had 27 himself.Comment

Our oldest goal kicker was 25 tonight.
The Parker clash was made a lot worse from the Small tap Impey got to the ball which pushed it past Parker. Hard to say what the outcome will be but definitely didn?t hurt that Impey played out the gameHe ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

- 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.

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.
