Well, we did match GWS when the decision was made to match GWS, in that third quarter. The fourth quarter was clearly about managing players and reducing risk while still getting some match conditioning and combinations in play. I'm always cautious about reading very much at all into these preseason 'games': we simply don't know what the overall and individual riding instructions were.Comment

Brisbane will give us a hiding. Our bad luck to draw them first up. Much better team than us. Dont reckon we have a tall who can go with O Mcinerney. Not sure we have a mid who can go with Lachie Neale either. Zorko will be a handful. Nightmare stuff thinking about Melican matching up on one of Daniher or Hipwood. SOS
Our midfield is no better. Hickey terrible in the last game. Gave Parker and Kennedy no chance. Kennedy looked slow too. Mills needs to be better than he was, but im expecting him to take a while to settle into the role. Florent was good, hope he plays more inside. Put Blakey inside too. Can't just stand on the outside expecting easy balls to come out we are a bottom four team with a bottom four midfield he wont get any easy balls. if thats how we are going to play him better to just leave him out or he will just be a bystander again. Rowbottom needs to find the ball more. If his plan is to win 17 disposals every week like last week then forget about it, we need more than that from one of our main mids. Hope Warner plays. Nothing to lose giving kids like him a run. Get Heeney in there to give our mids a spark. Another one who will just be wasted if he sits on the 50m arc waiting for the ball to come to him. Our inside 50 numbers are terrible and he'll never get it coming in clean enough to get the best out of him. Put him where the action is.
Will be a good lesson for us and we can still take a lot out of it. Good luck to the debuts.Comment

Just thought I would post an interesting stat. We have 33 players on our list who were drafted by us between 2012 and 2020 (9 drafts). Of those, unless there's a big surprise, 18 of the selected 22 will have come from those last 9 drafts.
It shows how draft reliant we have been in our rebuild, and just how good our drafting has been. We've also traded out a fair number of players who were drafted by us during these years (Jones, Nankervis, Membrey, Cameron, Aliir, Newman).
It also seem extraordinary in these times that only 10 players on our list did not come from these last 9 drafts.

Just for the record -TheBloods - I think we will give it a real shake. I be disappointed if its a margin greater than 4 goals.Comment

200mm of rain predicted will probably help keep the scores close, if they don't drown.Comment

While Papley was facing the press this morning talking about his 100th game, it has been all quiet for Hewett who is also sitting on 99 games. It looks more likely that Hewett will not play this round. Hope that Hewett can celebrate his 100th game at SCG next round.Comment

Can we give Paps some serious love for reaching 100 games.
For a bloke plucked a year after his ‘normal’ draft year as a rookie pick we had to scramble to raise funds for, he’s been sensational.
Probably the best small forward in the comp after Cameron, as cheeky as they come, gets under the skin of opposing sides, relentless in his efforts, a lock in the side every week and looks as though now he’s decided to stay, a massive part of the culture.
I hope he kicks a bag.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Here's another that popped up. Again, great parents.....you can hear as much relief as joy in their voices. The parents of elite sportspeople put in so much effort for their kids.....it's great to hear their emotion (and pride) from the results of their investment of love. Great stuff!

- 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
