Much the way Heeney generally tackles too. I think our tackling is a significant level below in general our best (going back to the mid 2010s and of course the 05/06 teams). Still too many tackles at both reserves and seniors level easily broken - part of that is a young list with immature bodies, part of that I think is the technique isn't what it once was. Should be a key focus for mine in coming years."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Blakey looks a fabulous prospect as a rebounder. I'd like to think he can also learn to use his speed and height to be an excellent interceptor too. But I haven't yet seen evidence he is a defender He needs to keep working hard in the 2s and bang down the door for a recall. And it shouldn't be easy with the returning talent: Warner will come back into the senior team and Gulden and Campbell won't be far behind. Stephens and especially Blakey need to work for it. Blakey has 50 games of senior experience and needs to be way more consistent, especially within games.
If Heeney couldn't keep Jiath honest I'm not sure McLean would have either. McLean might come back in but that would be at Amartey's expense and not otherwise (barring injury).
Ronke to hopefully put pressure on Wicks for his spot. I wonder if there's any chance we would play Ronke, Wicks and Papley in the same team with Ronke coming in for Hayward? Would love to see Ronke return to his best. It's been a long time since we've seen it but he has been dealing with injuries. Ronke's best is best 22. I rewatched highlights of his third ever match against the Hawks and gee they were great - his 2nd, 6th and 7th goals in particular.
Lloyd and Cunningham both pulled up sore after our Hawks match. Most likely they will recover in time but if not could be a chance for another defender. Wonder whether they'll give Ling a go? More likely they'll return to COR. And, if they don't, that would be worrying and sad for him. Just as he looked on the cusp of breaking into the best 22 before he was injured last year.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)

We should bring back Rhyce Shaw to coach the VFL team, if he's out of contract with GC this year.
If not available, sign brother Heath for the job. I'm sure he'll be a great coach.Comment

Can't see Ronke replacing Hayward - would leave us very short of those sorts of targets like Hayward/Heeney that play as medium-talls rather than medium-small forwards if you get what I mean (in terms of height).
I hope Ronke can rediscover some of those early glimpses he gave. Still think its likely that game against the Hawks is likely to be the one major career highlight - but still a damn nice one to have. And I really hope he proves me wrong."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Nick Malceski would be good too. He was cut as GC Neafl coach in the great Covid purge of 2020. Currently coaching QAFL club Labrador who are coming second after finishing equal last in 2020 with one win. He has done amazing things there, essentially bringing the bloods culture to the club.Comment

I agree, Ludwig. Ryce is very good with teaching and building confidence in our youngsters and would be a very positive step. I am very disappointed having Laidlaw as our VFL coach as has been shown up by our VFL team fading badly in later quarters. Just need to look at the IG video of the last game and how the boys were left to themselves at 3/4 time break. I would be willing to donate a few dollars to get Ryce backComment

I had the impression that Shaw left because he didn't see eye to eye with Horse. He might see the world very differently after what he went through last year... But I think he's more likely to be a Stewie Dew man than a Longmire one.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.

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