We know what happened with Reg last year. Prior to that, there were no signs of a drop off so I think he deserves a pre-season at the very least.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

AFL website did Swans best 22 and somehow couldn't find a spot for a fit Sam Reid.....Comment
-
My god, Reid in makes us look a much better side.
How many games have Reid and buddy actually played together. Not many. Not enough.Comment
-
Makes me think when Reid is injured we really should be playing Sinkers as a forward and one of Cameron/Naismith as the ruck. Forget copying the Tigers/Pies, our forward line is so much more functional when we have 2 mobile KPFs (sorry Tom). As good as Franklin is, he is not a crash and bash KPF and our forward line entry is either bombing it in or too slow for this to be an efficient option.Last edited by longmile; 24 October 2018, 02:42 PM.Comment

I see no reason why Reid won't be back in 2019 bigger than ever.
Yes he has a history of weird injuries but I think they will take an ultra conservative approach with him, he is fit now and a good program over the summer should reduce his chance of injury.
Fingers crossed.Comment

I know that when it comes to footy I am not as analytical as Auntie.G and most others on RWO, but I wouldn't want our starting 22 without Sinclair. 2017 - Best clubman, 2018 - Most improved. This is one guy who gives his absolute all for the club, loves the club, and IMHO does a pretty damn good job playing for the club. Just for those attributes and attitudes, I'd pick him.
I haven't worked out my own 22, but if I had to include Sinkers at the cost of a place of one of Auntie.G's nominations, it would - sadly - have to be McCartin for mine.Comment

Fair points
For me, minimum, I don’t want the opposite ruck to dominate on the tap downs
I like our ruck to be able to nullify the likes of Gawn or Brody etc and Sammy at 205cm can do this
If the opposition teams can’t get a jump on us because they can not dominate the tap then that is a massive win for our midfield who are generally considered an inside contested midfield
Unfortunately sinkers can’t stop the taller dominate tap ruckman to date
Secondly You would guess that Naismith has the greatest potential to actually start to win more then he looses in the ruck
Lastly Naismith does appear inferior around the ground compared to sinkers"be tough, only when it gets tough"

And, in turn, fair points.
But to my way of thinking, that's where McCartin's place in the team comes under pressure. Sinkers has played forward, and is more recently a ruckman; he has kicked a number of goals for us, so I'd be inclined to start him forward and have him relieve Naismith in the ruck.
One of the commentators - I can't remember which one - was obviously impressed with Sinkers; some time before mid-season I remember him expressing the view that Sinkers was quietly getting closer to the most effective ruckmen. I probably accepted that as wishful thinking rather than current reality, but, that said, he has been competitive, though we perhaps all (?) agree that Naismith is the better tap ruckman, so I'm in agreement with your assessment that a fit Naismith has the greater potential to win more than he loses in the ruck.Comment

Sinkers has a great tank so we could move Sinkers to McCartins role and put Naismith in as main ruck. Reid would be 2nd tall and Sinkers 3rd and relief ruck.
I know others favour Cameron based on NEAFL form.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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
