I hear you
Though just turning 30 a couple weeks ago and being 30 all of next season is a lot different to 34yrs of age
Issac smith moved at 32yrs of age from the hawks to the cats successfully
He would also play more than Mills in 2023
No mills for 6 to 12 games minimum is a serious weakening of our team in experience and role
We need to replace that minimum in our window like for like…….:but as suggested wicks for Patch and a difference in $150k pa or so is light years apart
Adams played half his game in Wicks role and half inside mid last season or two"be tough, only when it gets tough"

In the past four to five years, he's had repeat groin, mild and major hamstring, adductor, and knee injuries. That's a lot of wear and tear, and my point of concern. A fit 30 year old Taylor Adams with no real signs of degeneration, I'm all in. But that's not on offer here.I hear you

Just watched short video put together for Taylor's 200th game. He is a bit of a character, reminding me a bit of Paps. Seems like he would fill the role that we have planned for Sheldrick. This might be good for easing Sheldrick into AFL footy intensity but it would no doubt limit his opportunities for game time. Having Taylor might however allow for Paps to go back to the forward line and cause mayhem there complementing the talls with Parks perhaps, and also releasing Heeney to rip it up elsewhere. So many possibilities!!
Or in light of information from Auntie G, Taylor and Paps could form a more formidable mid/forward rotation than we have now.

Rojo. I don't think Sheldrick needs to be eased into AFL. He showed in 2023 that he has arrived. Pity he got injured at the time he did.Comment

Luddy……my take on us needing to move into a defensive plus 1 more than we would have preferred was not just because our backline was vulnerable……but equally we have lacked the ability to control the contested ball in the CBs and or ball ups.
None of us know for sure……..and u could equally argue that we appear to flood forward from a stacked backline as good as any team in the comp…….so stacking and slingshotting shapes up well for us.
I am taking a guess that Liz’s comments were also observations from the SCG where we tend to peel off and stack our backline on this small ground quite obviously.
It must be very tricky for teams exiting at pace from the middle and not many options due to the congestion in the arc.
No doubt we need an adjustment in our backline ie an additional KPD would be helpful but I would also suggest we are needing to sure up the ruck and inside players at a higher weighting of $ and justifiably."be tough, only when it gets tough"

Swans set to land premiership defender as unrestricted free agent
Seems like we've landed Hamling. We needed a replacement for the "fourth club" spot on the list.Comment

The Geelong analogy is a good one and is plausibly what we're trying to emulate here. We clearly are aiming for a premiership next year. We have cap space and are trying to build depth in areas of need with seasoned players. I'm happy to trust them on this.I hear you

Probably only paying him peanuts. Should have the locker next to Sam Reid. Might get half a season from each.Comment

Or Melican - who we know has a spot on the list next year. Just have to hope they can stagger their injury outages.
I saw a picture of Jordon (on the SEN site) wearing guernsey number 23. I wonder if he'll get to keep his number, or if protocol requires the club to "retire" the number for a year or two.Comment

We have Jordan & apparently Hamling. now if we can push the Grundy & Adams deals over the line we would be having a spectacular trade & Free Agent periodComment

- 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.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
