Has anyone been keeping tabs on how many frees Joel Selwood has got for high contact? Would he have reached 1,000 yet? If not, perhaps that's something that could be celebrated at the cattery?
Actually, now that I think of it, celebrating it away from the cattery could be dangerous. Well done, Joel: whack! Onya, Joel: whack! Excuse me, Mr Selwood, can I just a photo of my kid whacking you in the head?Comment

Something that will be examined again this week vs another quality outfit in the Dogs is our current strategy of minimising key player dependency out of our backline attack.
Sometimes we can be looking for patterns that don't really exist but we think they do...
But what I noticed distinctly on the weekend against the Cats was such a diversified approach to our exits which is such a critical part of footy as we know.
Whether it was Campbell, Lloyd, lizard, Cunningham etc our ability to have give and go exits from our kick ins was remarkable.
Seriously lethal and the Cats had to set their defence deeper because of how clean our exits were via uncontested by higher risk short passing by foot predominantly"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Spot on Auntie. This was reflected in our accurate shots on goal- a beautiful score line! Such a contrast to our final quarter effort in last year’s final. Hope we can keep it up as accurate kicking for goal wins matches, and our field kicking has improved compared to last year. But we can get a lot better still!Comment

Leigh Montagna commented this week our current accurate goal kicking rate is not sustainable and highlighted our clearances & contested ball stats after 2 rounds are not great (6th & 11th in comp I think he mentioned). As such, is reserved that we're in premiership contention.
David King who's been bullish with our chances, seems to have cooled down a bit after hearing this, but added watch out if we get tougher around the ball. King highlighting why Longmire was focusing so much on our contested ball during the off season, as an area we needed to improve on to take that next step in becoming a top 4 team.Comment

The Western Bulldogs have a deep midfield as we do. I trust our men against theirs BUT for a matchup on Bontimpelli.
I doubt Kennedy will be tasked with it given his absence from centre clearances to date. Everyone else seems a bit undersized.
Thoughts?Comment

I thought Montagna was talking more about our efficiency from F50 entries which could be sustainable if we keep kicking to the best forward option.
34 goals from 96 F50's.
Although kicking ~2 goals to 1 behind (34.15) is not likely to be maintained across a season.
I guess they two things are pretty closely related and can be considered the same thing. If you kick a goal there isn't a chance for a repeat I50.
Don't mind me, I'm just thinking as I type"Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

Hi Vonsteinman,
Great figures there.
His uncle BT was saying in the commentary last Friday night that James had made his fitness his focus in the off-season.. his speed over 2km. He came back with PBs in all of the time trials.. the other night he had 90% time on ground and covered 15.4km, the most distance covered by anyone on the ground. His hard work is paying off!
As an aside - in the off-season for "fun", he and his cousin - BT's son Harry (who is a great lad - not sure how with his genetics!!!) They did a Great Ocean Walk along the coast of Victoria. 100km in total! He is anything but a slacker!!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.
