I'm intrigued by the potential damage this fox could do on the field to the opposition.
I don't think he'd have a negative effect on our culture (even if he were to stuff up). Our club will show players the door if they carry on. They've done this in the past. I do think that the culture of our club could have a positive impact though.
If HB is to get another opportunity at any club, it depends on whether has the fortitude to be a responsible player.
I would be open to a medical and a conversation.Comment

I'd love it to happen but it won't :-(. GWS will match any bid on Green and Melbourne will then select Rowell or Anderson. It grinds my gears that Melbourne are going to add another gun to their list when their ladder position is the result of poor management and not their poor playing list.

Not sure about Francis. He's a high draft pick but still struggling to become a regular in the Essendon side in his 4th year. He's only played 23 games. He's also more of an interceptor than a one on one defender.
Brad Crouch on the other handComment

There's been talk all season about The Crows offloading one of the Crouch's. As usual, they'll probably want to head home to Victoria and someone like Hawthorn will reap the benefits as usual.
It seems that the only very good players that we can attract are;
* Players we offer overs to (Buddy and Tippett - isn't going to happen),
* Players getting away from the limelight (Buddy and Plugger), or
* Players wanting to come home (Davis - extremely rare).
There are very few players that fit this bill.
We are going to have to pick the eyes out of who is available and pick a player that isn't getting the opportunities at his current club.Comment

I agree with the last sentence. To my mind, that's been the Swans way. Outside of key forwards. We have a pretty long track record of trading for "stars" even if it doesn't always go according to plan (Tippo). We will have to think soon enough about a replacement for Buddy. I don't think any one on our books has the makings of the number 1 forward.
I had another thought re: Gold Coast. There's been all this talk of Burgoyne being Gold Coast's "Hodge". But Hodge went to the Lions because of his connection to Chris Fagan. So logically it should be a Swans player who becomes the equivalent at GCS. Then I started thinking, which current Swan would be the Hodge of Gold Coast, and only one name came to mind. MACCA!
Well I also wondered about Joey Kennedy!Comment

Invitees to the draft combine;

Slim pickings in NSW, especially compared to Vic, WA and SA which is evidence that we need assistance.
Some scouts are suggesting that Rowell is better than Sam Walsh. Shame we didn't lose a few more games.Last edited by S.S. Bleeder; 31 July 2019, 09:54 PM.Comment

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, we picked up Mattner, Shaw, Kennedy, Mcglynn and Mumford. We need to replicate this to a degree I reckon. Not sure if it can be done anymore.

Eventually midfield mostly and forward.a la Bontempelli and Martin. Great decision maker.

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
