Fair enough but all players are one decent head hit away from a career ending injury.....while some go their entire career without one head hit or concussion. It's a calculated risk that all players take.....and he loves footy enough to take that risk. So should we.....Comment

Just a thought. If we had 750k + a year to offer Daniher, do we not have that money free this year? Are we going to make a play for Cameron? Paddy, Cameron, Buddy and Paps up forward. Now that would be a potent forward line if we can get it in there........Comment

Starting to think a little wider
I wonder if we are after Jeremy Cameron and PaddyMc and letting Reidy move back to Melb........Sam Reid is turning 29yrs of age.......no doubt baby in sight soon and to secure a 3yr contract down in melb with family support could make a lot of sense.......this strategy by players in this life cycle has been embraced quite often over the years"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Caroline Wilson expressed the view that Paddy should not play AFL again. I can see her point if he gets picked up and does himself permanent damage.
I’m two minds about it. If he is not at any more risk than anyone else then sure. Otherwise no.Comment

-?? The list was published in April and definitely not updated enough.
This one was published in September : AFL 2020, AFL trades, AFL free agency, list of AFL free agents, whispers, AFL trade news, Jeremy Cameron, Brad Crouch | Fox Sports
and with clubs now delisting players, there will be many addition of "delisted" free agents.Comment

Reid already has a 1 year old son andin an interview in 2017 (https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/...07-gxquxi.html) , he said, "There's no real reason why I would like to leave here. My soon-to-be wife is from up here, she's got a really close-knit family that have been very accepting of me from day one.
"My parents get up here pretty much every second week to watch me as well. I'm not missing out on too much being up here, I've got a few mates down in Melbourne but in terms of the lifestyle, and the weather ... it's really good and I've just grown to love it over the past eight years." Don't think he has changed his mind now.Comment

There isn't because it doesn't work that way. Concussion is caused by the brain being shaken in the skull. It is the motion that does the damage. Gridiron players wear huge helmets and it doesn't help at all. If i was Paddy is have well and truly hung up the boots. The risks are too great. Danny Frawley's experiences say it all. I'd suggest we have a duty of care to not draft let alone select a player with that concussion history. I feel for Paddy but his health is more important.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

Good post. There is often chat on here about moving players like Reid without considering these other facts. Reid is going nowhere. The same type of chat has been strangely said about Hewitt and him moving back to Adelaide with no substance and without consideration that his wife is actually from the UK.
In terms of Paddy McCartin, I would definitely be happy to have him at the club. Seems like a ripping bloke from a great family. I can see him setting standards working his arse off on the training track to be given another shot. It must be so hard being promised the world as a consensus pick 1 and then having it taken away from you. I'm happy to trust the medicos and Paddy to make the right call. Of course, there is risk but we've shown before (with AJ in particular), that if you've got the talent and the right attitude we will give you our full support.
It does seem that Daniher is less likely to be coming this way or I think we would've heard more by now. This stage last year, every journo and their parrot was confident of JD coming our way. Not so this year.Comment

If there's greater long term risks for concussion or CTE I would hope he wouldn't be medically cleared. After that it's his decision and if he plays I hope he joins the swans

- If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below.
- 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.
