All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Gotta say I re-watched the Hollands’ video and actually concentrated this time...having been frothing for Thilthorpe I now think that we should punt in Hollands as he could be a generational player a la Dangerfield and Martin...not saying he WILL be but he could be. Generational players like Goodes and Buddy aren’t just very, very good....they are unique and unpredictable. That’s what Hollands is. Phillips looks sublime but upon reflection he is, perhaps, the most exquisite form of Vanilla ice cream you could wish for. I think we should risk a Strawberry Sorbet"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

That noun works with or without the s in it :-)
Testosterone has always caused trouble in the world, most wars are because of it, most relationship breakdowns are because of it, current US President saying stupid things because of it, China trade problems because of it ........
Anyway, back to list management, reckon most pick swaps will be done much closer to the draft or reactively on draft night, almost certainly we've got a few plans in place if/when neededComment

Back on topic, Campbell tested well over 20m as did Phillips. Nicholas Cox ran a 6min 2km, great endurance for a big guy. I'm actually starting to think that if we don't get McDonald or Thilthorpe, Cox might be our guy. We've got plenty of midfielders but could definitely do with a bigger player. But I recognise it would be a tough decision to over look Hollands or Phillips. DGB is not what we need atm, pass on him.Comment

I really liked your idea about Nicholas Cox and have been trying to think of a way we could pull it off without using pick 3 directly, as it seems to be overs for where he's rated, which is more mid to late teens and even into the early 20s. We're talking 1000 points over. Not a piddling amount. It's very complicated, because the pick would have to come between Campbell and Gulden, and Campbell will draw down most of our points on hand.
The only trade I can see that could get us into the right slot is to trade pick 3 to Geelong for picks 13 and 15. Geelong might be interested if the Giants would prefer pick 3 for Cameron in lieu of 13 and 15, which is all conjecture. The Geelong picks could drop as many as 4 places, depending on where the NGA and Academy players get bids. Campbell would have to hold out getting a bid until at least pick 10 to make this viable, and even then, it's a 50-50 chance at best that everything will fall into place.
It's great that we're getting 2 top academy players this year, but it does limit what we can do in the draft after the Campbell bid comes.
You can't be a Dodo to pull off that kind of deal.Comment

Could we have Cox and Blakey in the same team? Very similar looking shapes and styles about them. He looks like the kind of player you're perpetually waiting to arrive, with build being the biggest blocker.
I feel with so much uncertainty about our current young crop, we almost need to take the surest thing in this draft. Campbell and Gulden are a good start. But at #3, I'd be keeping simple and taking best available.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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
