He's proving to be an all around player. Having watched him at u18 level (and in particular how easily and emphatically he stepped up from u16 to u18 level) I'm not surprised that he's come in and made an immediate impact. But I've been surprised by some aspects of his play - such as his ability to take an overhead, contested mark, and the leap he showed last week to spoil Bruce. I also didn't appreciate just how good his kicking really is.
One small - but critically important in the context of the game at the time - thing I enjoyed yesterday was McInerney's decisiveness in going for goal in the second quarter (his first goal). Last week he had a relatively straightforward kick for goal on the run but was caught in two minds and landed up neither kicking the goal nor hitting Buddy on the lead. This week - further out - he also had hit-up options (including Buddy in some space) but made a quick decision and executed. It would have been just as fine had he hit a player on the lead. I guess it was just good to see him not waver. It's great to see small steps in young players' development.Comment

Reckon our slow start worked in our favour , they came ready for a contested scrap like it always is with those flogs , then we turned the game into a faster and open game and killed them on the outside . They had no answers for our run and use of the corridor
If we played like that from the start , would of been easier to plan and adapt againstComment

One of the great wins in the history of the South Melbourne/Sydney Football Club
To have 3 players being withdrawn before the game and 3 new players come in (little wonder we were flat in the first quarter and a half of last night's game). 35 points down halfway through second quarter and to kick 11 goals in second half including nine straight between 15 minute mark of 2nd quarter and 3/4 time. It was an awesome win.Comment

Jon Ralph says that Mills and Cunningham will be unavailable this weekend, too. In iso for 14 days from last Tuesday.Comment

Do they have to sit by themselves in a hotel room for the duration, or are they allowed to get outside and train (even if on their own)?
Question directed generally towards the ether, rather than to you specifically.
If they can't do any training, they probably will miss more than just the two matches.Comment

Behind the scenes of the Sydney Derby's last-minute line-up changes
A bit of an insight into what happened before the game yesterday.
It was great to see our Heritage jumper in use again in such a magnificent win!
And I know we don't like to praise GWS too much here but did anyone else think the jumper they wore yesterday is a vast improvement on their usual strip?Comment

Someone needs to pay for a penthouse upgrade or an entire floor with a cordoned off personal exercise space!
No matter what, they will be able to do some exercise - I’m sure the fitness staff could dream up some routines. I also think there is enough room in the 22 to play them back into the squad. Two weeks off for an uninjured, and previously fully fit, player won’t cause too many concerns. They might even benefit from the rest!Comment

Great point out Liz - I thought exactly the same thing about McInerney when it happened, remembering what had happened the week before - those moments of growth are always fantastic. But one senses these footballing Cygnets are growing up a hell of a lot quicker then any of us imagined - either that or they are going to have enormously high ceilings in terms of their ability.
As for young Errol - it is simple. He has all the attributes to be a superstar.
And to think we have Campbell as well to look forward to as well - a different sort of player, but one rated just as highly at junior levels, and also with a mark of class as well."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Does anyone know which Swans staff members are involved in the Covid quarantine order?
Longmire said they were now working with a skeleton staff lineup (can’t remember his exact words) and they had no fitness staff at all. It wasn’t clear to me if he was saying this was a result of the quarantine order or perhaps as well as that plus only a limited number of staff went away with them in first place.
I didn’t see McVeigh in photos yesterday. Did others see him? Does anyone know if any coaching staff are now in quarantine?Comment

I saw Macca at halftime in the rooms. I believe our entire high performance team has been wiped out.
According to the Hun the rules for a tier 2 exposure site are way stricter in QLD than VIC. In VIC you just need a negative test, in QLD it’s up to 14 days.
Reckon some lobbying going on behind the scenes.Comment

Thanks Markw.
I was quite moved by Longmire’s tribute to the players AND to the staff for the way they have responded to the Covid challenges they’ve faced over the last four weeks.
We (or at least I) tend to focus on the players. Nobody more than John knows how important the staff are to our performances.
I hope Longmire himself stays well!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.
