Ronke and Naismith also out with injury.
Stephens (no. 5 pick) missed 2 weeks of training due to concussion, but named as emergency. McInereney had delayed start due to December surgery. Brand had delayed contact training due to shoulder reco, but is back in full training now.Comment

Lol somehow I don't think Kennedy is going to take insult from where he is named on a team sheet.... But I guess whatever floats your boat, as at least it gave you another chance to have a shot at RB, so clearly that will leave you pleased.
Just don't bother watching tonight. You've already decided the result anyway and all we will hear is everything is stuffed and we will never win anything ever again."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Its here!! The time is here! Round 1. Best time of the year i reckon. Everyone is filled with hope and faith in our prospects this year. So exciting. This group will be the ones that deliver on that hope. Not this year i dont think. But in the near future they will. It begins tonight. This is the team that will do it. Missing are Hayward, Stephens, McInerney and Melican. Apart from that this is our first preview into our next great Swans side!
Looking forward to seeing Errol the little goal sneak, Wicks the tackling machine, Rowbottom crashing through, Isaac flying for marks, Ollie skipping tackles, the LIZARD jetting down the wing, McLean bashing some sorry Lions up!!Comment

I think he'll be a good player, I'm just saying I dont think atm he's best 22. But this is something to balance with getting games into young playersComment

I'm with you. Who would people leave out of the current side to put Stephens in. Allowing for the fact Buddy and McInerney are also not in the selected side. (Or Naismith, but he's not really competing for a spot with Naismith. Nor I guess with Buddy, though there are lots of ways to structure a team and include Buddy.)Comment

It's possible that they're at least even with him, in the coaches' minds at least (which is where it counts). But he's not really competing with McDonald or Gulden. Campbell, possibly, in the sense that Stephens could probably play that role, even if it's not what he has his heart set on. Warner, who knows. We'll have to see if he keeps up his impressive preseason form.
Either way, it's not obvious that Stephens would come in for one of those, if he were fully fit. And I think McInerney ended last season with maybe half a nose in front of Stephens. We'll have to see how they go on with things.
The reality is that we will get injuries, and these players will all get their chances to show what they've got.Comment

Stephens, McInerney and Ling are 3 young players who could easily be in the side. But who to drop? That could be the question all year long. It's hard to rank them. It's so close, and all look to be on track for long AFL careers.Comment

Stephens already going to be of more value in 2021 due to his elite endurance.
If Blakey is one winger, who is the other one?Comment

I've spent a long time off the forums but am happy to be back with an exciting year ahead. We've been smashed with injuries for a few years so it is pleasing to start 2021 with only a few concerns.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the quicker, more direct play continue especially with the new man on the mark rule. I actually think Stephens and McInerney will thrive in this style of play when they are match fit. I do agree, though, that there are limited spot available but I suspect that there may be some rotation of the young blokes (and may be even some of the older ones).
The biggest concern is with the second tall back. McCartin will be pushing for AA in the next year or two but he will need some help and so it is a worry that Melican just can't hold form. It's also a shame that Will Gould hasn't quite developed but I still hold out hope.
For tonight, Brisbane are a really good side and so I'm not expecting a win. However, It wouldn't surprise if we gave them a scare at some point. Cheer cheer.Comment

As expected:
"Final teams #AFLLionsSwans: No changes.
Rhys Mathieson (Brisbane) and Will Hayward (Sydney) are the medical subs."

- 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.
