[QUOTE=Ralph Dawg;845822]
We need to be hard at the contest for 4 quarters. Defend better when the ball hits the ground in our defensive end. Too many times, Blues smalls just snapped easy goals. COR Lloyd and our mids were non existent in 2Q once the ball hit the deck.
Agree with all that. Bring back Nick Smith McVeigh and Crouch.Comment

Give COR another game as he improved in the second half and as Ludwig says, Fox may only be marginally better.
So Ins: Campbell, Rowy, Stephens, Amartey/ Reid.
Out: JPK, Bell, Wicks, Ladhams
Prefer Amartey as he has heaps of upside but Sammy has the experience so happy either way.
Wouldn’t mind seeing one of the youngsters but we can’t make too many changes.
May not be like for like but I don’t want to see either Bell or Wicks anywhere near the team for a while.Comment

I didn't see the game on the weekend, as I was away camping, but despite the loss it was reassuring to hear that McDonald had a break out game and Campbell played well. Sad to hear Ladhams/Hickey isn't working.
I think that Amartey deserves a go, he is a much more versatile player than McLean and I like what I've seen of him as a ruck. I'd like him to get a 3-4 game streak to prove his worth.
Not suprised Bell was crap again. Not sure what the match selection committee is expecting to happen.
Also I think in 2020 Fox was one of our best in defence, I'd like to see him back in as well. Underrated player for us down there - can play on talls, smalls and mediums (obviously struggles against the monsters), is good aerially and can rebound well. He is like a (pre-2022) poor man's Rampe
Changes I'd like to see (noting all I've watched is the third quarter and some media clippings):
OUT: Ladhams, Bell, JPK, COR, Wicks
IN: Amartery, Campbell, Fox, Rowbottom, RonkeLast edited by longmile; 23 May 2022, 09:44 AM.Comment

Wicks was unlucky that his shot on goal was touched on the line but he could have run an extra metre. However, this was the sort of play he showed us early last year but sadly hasn’t reproduced it with any consistency. I would drop him to the ressies for a few games until he recaptures some form. He shouldn’t hold his spot based on his display against Carlton- we can’t accept an effort like that.Comment

I agree with your selections. I think it is time for Stephens to be given the same chance as Bell has, and left in the side for 3-4 games to really show us what he can do. Bell and Wicks have had their chances and have delivered below average performances.
Armartey would be my preferred replacement for Ladhams as I think he offers more around the ground, but Reid did have a good game last weekend in the reserves taking a lot of marks - but his kicking let him down as usual.Comment

Joey out for 8 weeks at least !
Roberts and Stephens in thanks !Last edited by TheBloods; 23 May 2022, 03:44 PM.Comment

This will be JPK's final year, so sadly - no 300 club.
I know football isn't a sentimental game and it's going to be close to finals by the time he gets back, so if we're in the mix for the 8 as I expect, it's going to be tough. I also know a lot of blokes don't get the final game they deserve (though I still smile at the way Nick Smith and Heath Grundy got to be part of the big farewell with McVeigh and Jack).
But given what this bloke has been to the club, I hope like hell he gets to go out on the paddock, and not the sidelines. If anyone 'deserves' it, he does.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Didn't work this game but as others have mentioned it was only their first time playing together, we need more evidence before saying it isn't working.
If they decide to go with only one ruck I'd like to see Reid come in, he's a much better target for the kick-down-the-line."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

- 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.
