Are people done with R. Clarke? Looks like he had a good game in the 2s but seems to never perform well when he gets the call upComment

No. He did a cracker of a job last season as a defensive forward. He was the only one who lowered Nick Daicos's colours last year.Comment

A rare good article about the VFL from the Swans website: VFL Coaches Corner: Round Four (sydneyswans.com.au). Great to hear the positive feedback about Lachie McAndrew. Looks like he's going to break through for some AFL games sooner or later. Also wonderful to get some rare as commentary on the VFL listed players!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)

He was lightly used in the first half and then was key in the reserves match 15/4. Agree he was a key run with, and shut down player late last year. When fit, he is like Cunningham and if we need 2, both play. Just need to decide if we need to close the game down and limit attacking play..Comment

I didn't see the whole North game - I just couldn't watch it all - but I'm still a bystander when it comes to the McAndrew bandwagon.
"he has been really good in the ruck. He has been winning his hitouts" - Taps are nice, but if you're 210cm tall it should be damn near impossible not to win the taps.
"he has really taken a step forward this year and he is heading in the right direction" - nice to see such a nice pair of cliches
"If he keeps going the way he is going an opportunity will arise for him at AFL level at some point so he has been really good" Yep, if Ladhams falls over, we'll need to play BigMac or reativate BigCox
"his follow up has been good" - that is very good news, I regard vigour as the most important asset a ruckman can have.Comment

I respectfully disagree. He was an important ingredient in our success in the second half of last season. His ability to negate key rebounding defenders from the opposition was really significant. Not everyone has to be (or can be) Chad Warner or Erol Gulden. But there are many ways of making a valuable contribution.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

I'm very much interested in seeing how Kirk goes in the VFL. He played a couple of games last year but struggled to have any impact (and was consigned to the "guarding space" role that many of the younger top-ups suffer in the VFL team). He's been so strong in an on-ball role this year with the academy team, and this will help to benchmark whether he is a prospect to be drafted at the end of this season. I suspect he might lack a stand-out attribute but sometimes, if a player can hunt the ball persistently and use it cleanly, they can still graduate to AFL level even without pace, size or extreme skill.Comment

Cleary is currently listed at 182cm and 81kg
Played for the AFL Academy against the Port Adelaide SANFL side last week at Mount Barker in curtain raiser to Brisbane/Norf. Scouting notes I read indicated he's a hard working inside mid under packs with good defensive mindset, held up well against more senior hardened bodies. May need to sharpen skills.
Plenty of other interesting names in this weeks VFL side, expect Hickey and Konstanty will be on shortened game time.Comment

Does anyone know what has happened to Caleb Mitchell? He seems to be the Swans invisible player this year like Ronke and others is past years.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
