I think we were lucky. We played far better this week. But there were signs of the bad old game plan, like hitting up Bud when there were better options. Carlton are an improved side. But we are not.

No Fox? Was he emergency for seniors?Comment

Thanks Ugg, I have never trusted when the club announces their best. Its like sometimes we are watching a different game. I watched the Giants link for the game which didn't have callers so hard to follow who was who. But Jack and Clark didn't dominate and Mellican wasnt in their best so it will be interesting who comes in for Hayward (goal kicking / marking forward) and for McVeigh (half back) particularly against Melbourne who are quick and talented. O'Riordan deserves another game as he has the speed and disposal. I dont think selectors have enough faith in Rose so dont see him promoted. If they choose Jack, where does he play - mid or off bench run with? Love to see Rowbottom / McInerney promoted soonComment

NEAFL: Win sets stage for sweet first song - sydneyswans.com.au
As mentioned in this report Rowbottom played forward for the first half, with Rose, Jack, and Clarke the main midfielders. Even when rotations took effect it was Bell and Foot who shifted into the middle and it was only midway through the second quarter that Rowbottom finally was run through the guts.
I believe he started the second half as a midfielder but as I mentioned before I was only keeping an occasional eye on the game with my main attention on the seniors. The report is playing this move as a learning tool to add to his list of skills but I’m more inclined to believe the short term goal is to see how suitable he would be as a forward as it would be in that role he would play the majority of the time in the senior team
A player who caught my eye early on but faded away as the game went on was McLean who is a good size but moved well and and showed some good foot skills. Robbed of a goal assist when his pinpoint pass to Veerhuis through a crowd of players was dropped under no pressure although this led to Jack cleaning up the spillage and kicking his only goal.
Amartey didn’t play the first quarter but made some impressive athletic plays in the second half in the unfamiliar #59 jumper (as an aside what was the reason for the random jumper changes. Did the property steward forget some jumpers on the drive over?).
Melican took some strong grabs in the first quarter but these were further up the field. I’m not convinced he’s back to his best just yet and would give him another run next week against the Suns
Reynolds was outpointed a few times by Sproule but to his credit it didn’t seem to affect his confidence. Foot was lively as a half-forward and his speed was also eye catching. Wicks worked hard and presented well as a forward target and probably should have had a couple more goals as he missed a few gettable shots and had a speculative shot at goal bounce at right angles when it seemed more likely to bounce through.
Kilpatrick the pick of the toppies kicking three goals and assisting in at least a couple more playing as a forward.Comment

Sydney development coach Jeremy Laidler loved what he saw in Rowbottom as a forward, and he’s rapt with how the entire band of first-year Swans are faring.
“‘Rowy’ is an absolute bull around the contest. His inside stuff is really special and so is his follow-up stuff; his second and third efforts have been the most pleasing things about his game. But he’s adding a few strings to his bow now,” Laidler told Swans Media.
“We know how good he is on the inside of the midfield contest, but throwing him forward today showed he’s very clearly a natural footballer. He’s been playing really good football ever since he arrived at the club.
Seem to remember we traded up in the draft and then grabbed Rowbottom a bit earlier than he was touted to go.Comment

Round 4; enter James Rowbottom. Looks a natural footballer and I would rotate him through the midfield and forward line. Straight in for Hayward.Comment

Rowbottom picked up 8 coaches votes; Rose 10, Clarke 3. Check out @neaflofficial’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/neaflofficial/st...889276929?s=09Comment

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.

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.
