Any word on the severity of P McCartins concussion given his history? I imagine he might have to be out for an extra week or two than the normal 12 daysComment

Sheldrick has to play, Cunningham gives nothing
Gulden more fwd, we want him Blakey and Cambpell delivering it deeper. They are wasting Gulden
Heeney and Paps more Middle
Fox will be better for the run, he is 22
Let Mills stay in the middle all game long, plays too defensiveComment

Way too early to write off our chances, but we need to hit an upswing of form very quickly, as we don't have an easy draw and can't afford to drop many games to bog average teams (Which I think port will prove to be).
Rowbottom has had a slow start to the season to say the least. But if you think we are struggling in the clutches, chucking in Campbell is not going to alleviate why we are struggling. RB needs an intensive month of work with Kirky if you ask me - he just seems hesitant at the moment and not getting stuck in hunting the ball. We desperately need someone in the clutches to do more of the dirty work - Mills and Parker can't do all of it."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I still can't believe that shot didn't go through. I was jumping around and screaming like a lunatic and wasn't watching the tv, so I had no idea what had happened.Comment

If we are talking about the Finlayson goal in the last quarter: Finlayson looked like he marked it, but regardless, Rampe was holding his left arm. What got me is how easy they got possession to get it forward. We should have locked in at the centre bounce but we all know and 17 clubs know this is a glaring weakness of ours, yet in continues to happen.Comment

Gee Buddy was horrible (again). Should have retired last year. He needs to call it quits and let us build the forward line without him.
Been a great of the game but time to go.Comment

2 things caused that momentum shift. 1. Campbell for whatever reason decided to short pass instead roosting like he did all game. It was cut off and it gave Port some run. They didn't goal from it but the ball went back to the other wing where Gulden got a free for high. 2. Then for whatever reason that only he knows he tried to spear a pass to someone amongst a pack of players. The ball turned over for a goal. They got their tails up and the rest is history. They both needed to take ground and in Campbell's case he should gone over the defenders heads or at least taken the boundary for a throw in.Comment

It was fantastic to make GF last year but we probably over achieved with our young list and we had a real good run with injuries. Very even competition now with a finer line between winning and losing. Still think our young midfielder are a couple of years away from peaking. Maybe it will be better for our development and more realistic if we miss the top 4 this year. Long term still looks rosy regardless.Comment

Keen to hear Horse post match but the afl site has posted Hinkley’s interview twice instead. Talk about complete shutdown.

We just had too many passengers.
McInerney was poor again. He looks like a very soft footballer. Doesn't get near the footy anywhere near enough.
Parker: people are saying he was getting into the game. Anything he did got was negated by his rubbish delivery and selfish play. He attempted to kick an airey goal like he did 10 years ago. There was one play going to the left of the screen where the ball feel to him and another Swan. Parker took possession while the other player went left and Parker should have handballed over the top or even low to the ground. But no, he tries to do it all and go inboard, gets tackled, scrubs the kick for a turnover. To me he has lost pace and doesn't get to as many contests. Maybe the game is passing him by.
Cunningham is cooked.
Hayward: again he had about his average stats.9. Any chance he will chase in the forward line. Doesn't offer enough. Again how is he in the leadership group.
Agree with the other comments on Buddy.
Is Amartey a one game wonder?
Sure it's difficult to win when you are 2 down at half time but there was few who rose to the occasion.
To me we lacked leadership on the field.
Papley was the only one that looked likely up forward.
Mills seemed to go missing at times. Someone tell me Heeney is injured.
It seems now we are being carried by Florent, LLoyd, Warner, Gulden, Blakey and Rampe. I thought Rampe was terrific under the circumstances. Campbell was ok
The plus was Robbie Fox fitted seemlessly back into the team.
I thought Ladhams was good. It's not his fault that our mids can't work out where the ball is going. We were no better with Hickey. Gee he got crucified for that one where the umpire called play on. He didn't even look to handpass off. He went to go behind his mark after marking.
This team can't take us to top 4 even with the McCartins back in. I seems to me that Longmire is making the classic mistake of thinking this is the team to take us to glory. He has always been one to keep refreshing the team, but he seems reluctant to change anything. He will be forced to this week, but how far will he go. He doesn't seem to have the guts to drop continually poor performing players. Surely Sheldrick comes in next week.Comment

Maybe it's time we put Heeney behind the ball to sharpen him up. We have to plug a couple of holes for a couple of weeks.Comment

Or trade him while he has currency his ankle is completely shot and is on huge money could get another mid and defender.Comment

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.

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.

If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder.
