Nice summary. Fox has been improving steadily from that hand injury which seemed to be worrying him earlier in the year. We have a number in that ‘underrated’ category. Hewett too.
Starting to look a bit tired after a very tough month - but 4 wins from the last 4 is way more than we were expecting (well, more than I was expecting).
A few to come back in following the Rugby debacle, so hopefully
we’re in decent shape to bring some fresh legs in.Comment

Blakey continues to look great off half back. Great kicking, run and marking.
Is there any update on Reid? Did he get through.
Nice inclusions in Mills and Cunningham next week,
Is Chad playing in the reserves yet?
Could be Buddy and Reid out next week. We’ll probably go in with Amartey and McDonald.Comment

Reid should be okay. Not injured.
Warner didn't play VFL, so still a couple of weeks away, at least.
Campbell and Melican both played, so should be available.
Ryan Clarke led all players with 35 disposals.
Pierce Roseby had 29 possession playing on loan to Essendon. Looks in line for an academy selection this year. McCartin kicked 3 goals for Essendon.Comment

Good solid win against a motivated opposition - once again, great ability to switch up our game to another level.
Freo dead unlucky to lose Fyfe and Walters (that said, Fyfe was clearly struggling in last week's game; it was obviously a gamble to go in with him).
Loved Jake Lloyd's game - thought he was fabulous defensively and offensively. Blakey a fire-starter for us in Q2 just as he was last week; goodness, he's turning his season around.Comment
-
At least four of Bell’s stats led were assistss for goals
Can’t we just enjoy his ability to play a game like today…you can see he’s getting confidence and feeling more at home Im this team
And he puts on so much pressure without the ball as well as the impact of his actual possessions and tackles ..that’s his tile in the teamComment

I hope you're right but I fear that much like a jury who are instructed "the jury will ignore that last testimony", the MRP will have the Vic-biased commentators 'thoughts' on the incident fresh in their minds and while they should rightly ignore it.....much like a jury, they may not.Comment

What a wonderful game! You'd think I'd be used to saying that after how many great performances we have had - but I'm not!! It is a constantly new and refreshing thrill to watch this exciting new Swans team showing what they are made of!!
Very interesting few weeks coming up with selection. No sign of "The Chad" at reserves level means he might still be a few weeks away. Curious. There are only four weeks left of the season and JL will not want to be tinkering with his line-up too much at this stage of the season! Hewett has come alive the second half of this year & Mills also to return - there is the very real possibility that young lads like The Chad, Rowy and Campbell don't get to crack this team which is en route to finals action!! AND Reid has returned from injury at the right time which means McD, Amartey and Mclean might also struggle! Who would've thought - these boys who were such a key part of our barn-storming start to the campaign might not feature at the business end of it!!
A shame for them individually I'm sure of it, but the last month has shown how key our experienced core is to this team's success! Buddy, Isaac and Paps are such great leaders in the fwd line, Joey and Parker have led this midfield beautifully and George has climbed on board for the ride, and Lloyd and Ramps down back are peaking at the right time! Our young cygnets might be waiting on the sidelines come September if any injuries occur - God forbid! - otherwise they will get a first-hand lesson from our experienced superstars on what is required to get to finals footy!! A great motivation for them all to come back another pre-season stronger and tougher and fitter!
CHEER CHEER!Comment

In the post match press conference, Horse mentioned that Reid was managed rather than injured when he did not play the last few minutes of the match and do far it was expected that all those played today and those in isolation would all be available for selection for the next game.(As expected, he would not give any specific views on Buddy possible suspension.)Comment

I’m a big fan of both Chad and Campbell but not seeing easy spots for them.
Harry and Mills returning next week likely push Ronke and possibly Rowbottom out. Young James did some nice things but his pure run still seems affected by his earlier injury. I wonder how much training he’s doing.
Then whose spot is up for grabs for the two above? They’re better/going to be better footballers than Bell or Wicks, but they’re not really right for the pressure forward roles, and Horse seems to like having two of those on the field.
Quite the dilemma, particularly if the Chad isn’t fit soon.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

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.

If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder.
