The Menzel/Rohan "trade" looks like a nill all draw.Comment
-
Surely cats a fair way in front at this stage. Rohan has contributed a reasonable amount to their season, especially early on. Menzel for whatever reason can not even make a struggling Swans top 22 (though many would argue he hasn't been given much of a chance either). Will be interesting to see what call we make about him at the end of the season, as we only gave him a one year contract didn't we?"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Putting senior players in for surgery early, giving some games to developing players (e.g. Stoddart, McClean) is not tanking, its smart player management
I have no doubt that the 22 on the ground and the MC are trying to win on game day, but we are in a position now where wins on the board are a "nice to have" rather than a necessity

One is on track for a career best goals haul for one of the legitimate premiership contenders, the other has spent the bulk of the season injured/in the NEAFL

I posted a while back that a KPD could potentially unlock the full potential of our team. After seeing us struggle against Hawkins and now with the injury to Rampe making us extremely vunerable this week, I would say an established KPD is our number one priority. The names that spring to mind would be Tomlinson and Corr from GWS, Howe from the pies, Eagles from the Lions and either McDonald from the dees. I mention them as I feel that all of them could be gettable. An example would be Cameron for Corr given GWS surplus of talks but shortage in the ruck. We could sweeten the deal with picks given they might need them to match bids on Green.Comment

I thought about Corr as a good target if we wanted another KPD and trading Cameron out is a good move if Naismith is fit. I was thinking of Cameron involved in a trade for a midfielder, perhaps Bonar from GPS or Tom Cutler.
I think there is a bit of panic here about our KPD situation because Melican hasn't had a great year. He was improving throughout the season until the last game and I think we should remember that Melican is still young and inexperience.
If we take a KPP situation as a who, i.e. including forwards and ruckmen who can play forward, then we are pretty good shape, except that so many are young and we know it takes longer to succeed as a KPP than for other positions. We have 2 of the best young KPPs come through in the past 2 drafts in McCartin and Blakey, and McCartin may have play in defence anyway when Buddy is fit.
We also have Maibaum, who was developing well before his injury. We also have to provide opportunities for players already on our list. We have a few other KPPs that have a reasonable chance to develop into AFL players, like McLean, Amartey and Pink.
I would wait till next year and see how things pan out with our current players and if we do need another KPD, then look to recruit one from another list. Btw, Corr is a RFA next year, so could be a good target that we can get for without a trade. Eagles is 29 yo and almost certain to be delisted, so we could probably get him nothing.Comment

Just did the ladder predictor and we came third last. Knightmare has Rowell as third pick behind Anderson and Green. Make it happen!
We just need Carlton to keep going on their winning ways.
Hopefully Suns don't get a priority pick. Timing would suck even if warranted.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Green is a GWS academy player, so they'd have the right to match a bid for him. With the Bombers steadily climbing the ladder, their bidding currency is decreasing but the Bombers' first pick and their own first pick will still likely give them enough points to match a top 3 bid on him. And that's before they get more trade currency by trading out players who want to leave for more opportunity (like Bonar). And it remains to be seen what Coniglio will decide to do.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.
