6 months seems optimistic. Reading that Calum has not run for 4 months made me think of the disastrous covid quarantine a couple of years back. The brief interruption to training affected his tendonitis and he ended up missing a whole bunch of games. Hoping for a fast recovery but I'm not too confident.Comment

'Unbelievable' recruit makes instant impact, young Swan turns heads

Hearing so much how Roberts, Sheldrick, Heeney,, Cleary, Fox, Gulden, Papley, MacDonald, Amartey, Cleary, Blakey etc plus of course Grundy, Adams and Jordon are dominating at training yet there is one group that we hear virtually nothing about. I refer to our second year contingent namely; Konstanty, Vickery, Mitchell, Magor, Edwards and also Arnold and Buller. Is that group a total bust. It also includes Owen who is already history. Can someone give us a good news story about anyone in that group. All I have heard is that Vickery has a niggle and that Konstanty wiped out our co-captain for a significant amount of this year. Is Dalrymple leaving related to this or are the two stories totally unrelated?Comment

I have seen footage of Arnold, he looked good. There was some talk about Buller having a pretty strong showing in the match sim at Coffs. A little about Konstanty but not much. Magor is still playing in the backs according to a watcher. One watcher at Coffs said Roberts was electric but he said he might have also mistaken Roberts for Mitchell a few times. But they move very differently & Roberts is a super kick, whereas that is a skill Mitchell has to work on.
I think Dalrymple wanted to move back to Victoria.Comment

I think you need to put some perspective into this.
Very few players come out from the under 19 drafts and have an immediate impact. There are exceptions such as Gulden and Daicos,
But the majority build their strength and fitness via the VFL, and generally with limited minutes. Remember they have not undergone a full preseason conditioning program, and in some cases it takes two to three years to get fully conditioned. The example of Robert’s is exactly that as he commences his third season. Dawson was another good example.
For that reason all clubs give primary draft picks a minimum of two years before a a decision as the second year is their first year of a full preseason.
Owen was a different story, he was a rookie pick with a 12 month contract, and obviously the club considered he was not going to make it.Comment

I hope they give all the boys who are a chance a run. In the past they have had a record of not playing potential A Grader until after another start in the 'Twos'. Allir, Dawson, Hewett etc were not used much in trials & started the years of hard slog to make the A's. Funnily, Paps played a quarter & a half in a trial & was picked for the first game of the season. He did kick 4 in that trial against GWS. It is really weird how some players get trialed & some get little or no time. Melican got plenty of trial time & showed a lot in the intra club. Then in the club trial the week after. But we were playing him mainly as a running defender, same role as Blakey plays now. He took a couple of sensational marks, one backing into an oncoming pack, Jonno Brown style. Brave indeed.
I would like to see how Konstanty, Green, Snell, Cleary, Kirk, Roberts, Buller, Arnold, McAndrew etc in the first trial at least.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. 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.

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.

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
