Agree. Deserves legend status at our club.....has held our backline together for years now, first with Teddy, now with Ramps and always with his trusty lieutenant McVeigh at his side.....both evergreens at the top of their game atm. Reg has been an outstanding servant to the Swans, a lesson in perseverance of effort and consistency of performance.

Disciplinary reasons my heel. If it was that they would have been training which they weren't. The media and tools like Thomas just invent stuff to fill the vacuum. What ever happened to the Hanneberry being traded rumour of last Tuesday night as rep[orted by Tom Knownothing, didn't even make it to Wednesday morning's rumour mill, just evaporated into the ether!Comment

It?s great that we are winning the majority of our games but clearly we are a step behind the main contenders in form at present. Hopefully the return of Reid and Melican in the second half of the season will really make that difference and bridge that gap. The midfield this year has struggled to achieve the heights of previous seasons. Hannebery is not the player he was before probably because of injury and some of the others are also below previous high standards. On the brighter side, I love the way some of the younger guys are developing.

I?m liking our rotation and development of youth this season and last
It is such a weak ressies Comp therefore it is essential to give our young players roles that they can fulfill in Snrs yet still get the win
This is being achieved and we are positioning the trajectory of the young players we want to play Snrs in years to come. The downside is players like marsh, AA and Newman and COR etc get limited game time
Yet I?ll take the running players we need this year and in the future because that is AFL right now and it?s only being umpired to get faster and faster
Hayward
Ollie
Ling
Stoddart etc are imperative and priority

Our style of transitions has made it very challenging for Newman to get a role in our senior backline and or on the wing he is certainly behind in the two way running department
I think everyone acknowledges when newman plays the Luke hodge HBF stand and deliver kicking role Newman is at his best - but we simply don?t set up this way in Snrs
In an inferior ressies Comp u can chip it around and do the clever dinky kicks but in Snrs we are looking for fast direct transitions when the opportunity is there. Therefore our players must be in alignment with this style
we can?t carry to many slow players......macca still out weighs in slow foot speed with brilliant 360 degree awareness and is such an awesome player to run off via hand pass
We have our Jones, lloyd, macca, Ollie and Heeney as our main trainsition give and go running or posting up focal points to move forward off
That is plenty and they are all playing very well
Marsh gets the tagging role generally when he plays in Snrs and that is critical given how smithy dependant we are for this lock down role...... marsh getting this experience if smith is injured is just smart coaching for finals etc as a plan B
Smith on fri night played more of a loose role and marsh the tight tag - just smart again to develop our options and future while managing the immediate win

Arrogant @@@@@ who IIRC, said the Swans win in 2005 was an aberration. I was at that game and one of my fondest memories was the final quarter of that prelim v Saints. We absolutely blitzed them, although I had a bad feeling in my stomach about Big Bad who was cleared on a technicality in the week leading up to the GF.Comment

I am trying to think of an appropriate swear term with five letters - and failing.
It's not fair to say BBBH was cleared on a technicality. He was cleared in accordance with the rules as set by the AFL for that season. I agree that the interpretation set out didn't sit well with most people's intuitive thoughts on what the outcome should have been (and they shortly changed the interpretation).Comment

I always find TOG an interesting stat for some reason. I guess it shows who is undercooked fitness wise or it might give a small insight into the coach?s mind. Stoddart and Rohan were the lowest with 58 and 66 respectively. That?s a lot of time on the bench. Apart from his low possession numbers, Hanners also was down at 71 TOG which indicates that he is definitely not 100%.
At the other end, Sinkers continues doing a mountain of work at 88%. Can he keep that up for a full season?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
