We need a replacement for Rhyce Shaw. But still no news !? Will they just leave it vacant and wait for McVeigh next year?Comment

Maybe waiting for Ross Lyon to get the sackComment

There is a piece about ROK today at Swans great provides success blueprint for homesick Cat - AFL.com.au . He and the Crows have parted ways and is having some media commitments afterwards. Will he be an option to fill our vacant assistant coach job ? Will he be interested to come back to Sydney? Have we tried to get him? Will he be a good fit? Our coaching panel is relatively smaller than many other teams. I don't like the assistant coach job remaining vacant.Comment

I don't think the situations are particularly comparable.
O'Keefe was out of contract and so was able to move to another club (albeit that this was before free agency and moving clubs - to a specific club - was a little harder back then). He chose to stay at the Swans. Kelly didn't have a choice as he is still in contract.
O'Keefe was well into his career and I've never believed homesickness had anything to do with him toying with the idea of a move. It was about money and the chance to play in the midfield, both of which were provided by the Swans once he recommitted. From what's been written about Kelly, it's not so much that he wants away from Geelong as that his wife wants to be back in WA where she will have more family support to help raise three young children. That's similar to the main reason why Jetta wanted to leave the Swans, and why Jolly asked for a trade (and he was still in contract). That situation isn't going to change.
I can't see there being any issues between Kelly and the Cats. They are a well run club that doesn't generally crack the sads when a player wants to leave (unlike a couple of other clubs). They will understand his reasons and I don't imagine there will be any tension between Kelly and the club. He'll just put his head down, work hard, try and emulate the season he's just had, and probably look to be traded at the end of 2019.Comment

Swans tie down coaching panel for 2019 - AFL.com.au
TADHG Kennelly will take control of the Sydney defence next season after replacing fellow premiership backman Rhyce Shaw in the club's coaching structure.
2005 flag winner Kennelly, who was the Swans' NEAFL coach in 2018, will take over the role vacated by 2012 premiership star Shaw, who joined North Melbourne's coaching panel over the off-season.
Jeremy Laidler will take the reins of the Swans' reserves side alongside Lloyd Perris, another former Sydney player, who has returned to the club as a development coach.
Perris, who had three knee reconstructions while he was on the Swans rookie list and failed to play a senior game, has been coaching with Sydney University’s NEAFL team.Comment

Good to hear Lloyd Perris is back at the club, a career cut down by injury. Think he was the last player we took under the old scholarship scheme.Comment

Like 707, I'm glad to see Lloyd Perris back at the club. He's carving out a career in football though his own playing was cruelled by injury. He's thus very aware of the whole person - something that we RWOers can too easily forget when we talk about list-cloggers and denigrate players who leave for other clubs. In August this year he tweeted, "Since I was 16 I've had to learn to look after my mental health as my physical body continually let me down. Now I'm combining both of these and doing the Noosa Tri for Team Beyond Blue." (https://twitter.com/LloydPerris/stat...26616071860224) For me, that understanding - and his personal experience - of the range of stresses that aspiring professional athletes experience is likely to be a positive in his coaching.
I note with interest that he is also quite a reader (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/...6-lloyd-perris). Mixes Hemingway, Steinbeck, Harper Lee, Kerouac, Tim Winton, etc, with titles like The Mentor, Win Forever, and The Captain Class: The Hidden Force that Creates the World's Greatest Teams.
I'm happy to take a punt on a bloke like that. Might not work, but we might just be developing a gem. His leadership qualities have long been evident. Back in 2013, this was written about him: he was "the inaugural winner of the Cameron Ling medal and won the Ben Mitchell medal this year for his performances in the AIS/AFL Academy. Almost more importantly, the medals were awarded based mainly on leadership qualities rather than skill." (https://www.afldraftcentral.com.au/2...perris/http://)
Let's wish him all the best.Comment

Yes, looking at that list, he does seem to have an enquiring mind. What with the Johann Hari, Yuval Noah Harari, Clementine Ford, Chloe Hooper, Malcolm Gladwell, etc. Though let's just hope that he read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, as a curious period piece, rather than something aspirational.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.
