Out of idle curiosity, I just had a look at both the app and site via my phone. It seems that the AFL have taken down the replays. So, that link is to a replay that was there yesterday, but is not there today. God knows what the reasoning behind that is, as there's still links to match replays from ten years ago on the site. I suspect that it's some sort of rights issue with Kayo? I hope that removing replays after a couple of days, doesn't continue in the season proper.

Then again, it could just be a stuff up, rather than a conspiracy.Comment

It’s working ok on the app when viewed on my iPad but as others have stated the desktop site doesn’t seem to show itComment

Link to the full replay on the website (rather than app): AAMI Community Series Match Replay: Sydney v North Melbourne.
The old link I posted doesn't work because they have taken down the old incomplete video and replaced it with a complete one.Comment

Just finished watching. My first impressions without having seen any stats or anything:
* overall I thought a bit of rust showed - a lot of players were lacking in their execution
* clearly McInerney and Blakey were good but so too was Rowbottom, more so in the first half when he was really busy and bustling. Warner was good but not dominant.
* I haven't heard a lot of love for Hickey but I thought he had yet another great game. Apart from being a good tap ruckman he keeps finding ways of getting himself involved in the game offensively and defensively around the ground.
* plenty of people have gone hard at Reid for having an ordinary game but equally I thought Tom McCartin didn't have one of his better games either - dropped a few marks, kicked out on the full, fumbled etc. Conversely Paddy looked assured. Paddy's disposal was crisp but he also had physical presence and looked more composed than he must have been when he swung at the Geelong player last year. The McCartins should be a great pairing this season.
* McAndrew looked useful in the minutes he got at the end - threw himself around and looked a bit more agile than you might expect for someone 209 cm tall. Too early to say but he might have a future. I can at least see why we signed him.
* Stephens looked improved, covered a lot of ground but also looked stronger as many people have commented.
* Wicks was serviceable in the first half with a lot of pressure and energy but disappeared in the second.
* Logan McDonald was terrific. He is going to be a great player. I'll be happy when we've signed him up - hopefully for 4 years on handsome but not outrageous money.
* Hayden McLean was also effective and could have had 5 goals if he had kicked straighter. Importantly, McLean chopped out a little bit in the ruck which will be crucial to his chances of beating Ladhams for a spot, especially since I can't see Reid playing seniors much unless we have injuries. I'm still thinking Ladhams is the frontrunner for R1 but McLean is making it a tough decision.
Not the most exciting performance overall but plenty of individual players to be excited about!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)Comment

Watched the game and read fellow RWOers comments. These is what I thought about the game.
4 standout performances - McInerney, Blakey, Mills and Heeney - All clean in wet condition and superb disposals.
1 standout stat - Won Contested Possessions by nearly 30. Not going to happen regularly in the season but would like to see us in positive in this department this year.
Good features - Good ball movement, McInerney off HB/Wing and Blakey off Half back, Hickey continues to impress
Improvement needed - in all departments if we want to beat GWS - again this was only a practise match - Lack of Papley is going to be a big factor.
Stephens - Good Endurance and probably now is more involved than before and knows what he needs to do. I think he lacks composure - again hasn't played enough to feel secure. I am hoping that he gets his overlap game going Ala McInerney
Florent - Had a good game but needs consistency. He has all the elements to do it this year.
Warner - Good game but could be a lot better - hope he is quick out of the blocks next week.
Rowbottom - Good game. Need him in the midfield to provide the pressure but he needs to have similar or better performances each week
McDonald - I thought he had a very good game. He has secured himself a spot. He should play at least 10-12 games this year and sign the contractComment

Just to expand on this point a little: I think (hope) that Paddy really learned something from his off-the-ball punch and suspension last year. And I wonder whether (hope that) playing with his younger brother will also help him keep his cool and motivate him to set a good example. There was a moment in the second half where I saw him calming/restraining Tom who was looking frustrated and aggressive and I was heartened. The stakes are high for Paddy, and with his parlous return to footy hanging a little in the balance, I think that could really operate to help him keep focused. I saw signs of maturity and just playing his role rather than trying to be a star, and these days the pressure for him to be a star has happily evaporated and everyone will celebrate him just being a good role player.All opinions are not equal.

Remember this was against Norf, the 2021 Wooden Spooner!
Having watched a lot of our 2021 games in recent weeks, Dawson will be a big loss, he was very influential in most of our games and outstanding in quite a few, a rare type of footballer.
Those things said, on what wasn't a great day for footy, we were very impressive and it was done on the back of our younger brigade. The club is building not only a very good 22 but also depth which is crucial every season.Comment

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.
