Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light. -
I think if Rohan is OK, he could be brought in. Someone needs to be able to try and chase down Lachie Whitfield as he has been
pretty much unstoppable lately.Comment

Rohan barely lasted a quarter in the NEAFL game. That follows him breaking his hand before half-time in his previous outing. We've not been furnished with any news yet about what his problem was, but it's hard to see him being selected to play senior footy next week.
I seem to recall that when we played GWS early in the season, Whitfield was kept well under control. Can anyone remember who played on him?
Even if it wasn't Cunningham last time, he might be a good option this week. He played more forward against the Dees than he has for most of the season, and he also showed against the Hawks' Smith that he is capable of shutting down an opponent, if called upon to do so. The main thing working against that is Kelly. Along with Whitfield, he's probably the key Giant to try and keep under control. Assuming he recovers from his concussion, Cunningham seems the best equipped Swan to run with him. Hewett has been our most used tagger this year but I'm not sure how equipped he is to play on Kelly or Whitfield. (Waiting for someone to point out that it was Hewett who did a decent job on Whitfield in the last game - which I confess I have a sneaking feeling might be the case.)Comment

I think it was Hewitt who did some roles as a defensive forward. Hasn’t Whitfield moved into the midfield now?Comment
-
GWS don't have a particularly tall forward line now that Lobb has to ruck. Allir and Rampe should be okComment
-
It was Hewett. If Kelly doesn’t get up to play that would be a huge help.Comment
-
Rohan is the least likely swan to be able to do that.
Some of mccartin's second efforts last week were the work of a tired man. That Rohan s only hope of a call up

Kelly would be unlikely to play. Although GWS are in great form, the constant 3-4 forced changes every week must be taking their toll with cohesion.Comment
-
If the coaches feel we need a defensive HFF we may see Robinson back in this week.
Probably his best role at this stage imo.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment
-
Newman was good yesterday because he got loose and hurt Melbourne because he is an excellent kick when given time and space. A couple of times he was exposed on his right side and when his lack of foot speed was obvious. He is very effective when he gets it in space, but I still have worries about him with his lack of pace but he definitely deserves to stay in the side.Comment
-
any word or progress on Mills ?
Normally they give you a month to month on longtermComment
-
He certainly can be exposed at times on his right side in particular, but many a one sided player has thrived in the AFL over the years. He needs to learn from some of our seniors, who have never had blinding pace to get them out of a hole, but have learnt to minimise the ability of opposition to exploit their weakness. I liked a lot of what he did yesterday - we need to get him in such situations more often."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment
-
Your sneaky feeling was right Liz. from AFL.com
"Star defender Lachie Whitfield was kept to just 15 possessions by Swan George Hewett in round three, and with Heath Shaw missing, he'll need to have a big influence with his rebound on Saturday."
But i think you may also be right in that Cunningham should go to him. I would send Hewett to Coniglio or Ward. Even with Kelly out they have a lot of midfielders who can damage you. Shiel is in good form and their young guns in Taranto and Hopper also having some meaningful impact.Comment

Whats the go with Marsh?
He doesn't always give us a lot going forward but fairly dependable at stopping his oppponent.
I wouldn't rest McCartin
It's invaluable experience and he is coming up big in the pivotal moments
If we make finals he will get bye week to restComment
-
Marsh is currently injured - hamstring I think. Did it in the warm-up of a NEAFL game a couple of weeks ago.Comment

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.

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.

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.

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
