You would think so but I think that they will pick Wicks.Comment

Probably Wicks based on previous monthsComment

So Wicks comes straight back into the side for Heeney... (AFL app), what a @@@@ing joke... I wouldn't blame Parker for asking for a trade, he's not respected by the match committee, clearly.

Ridiculous Tribunal verdict. AFL's trying to cover up the fact that Heeney's getting held illegally by opponents every week.
Damo's going to give the AFL both barrels in Sliding Doors tomorrow. His dislike of the Tribunal is well known."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

I like to think the club wants to stagger
Mills & Parker's returns due to their long layoffs (Mills 1st preference as Captain).
Who goes out for Parker will be interesting considering side balance. I suspect Wicks, Roberts, Fox or even Adams considering Mills could also fill backline role rotating onto the ball at times.
They could initially pick Parker as the Sub, subbing off Mills to manage his minutes ( i suppose they could've considered that this week).Comment

There is no need to stagger their returns when the guy who shouldn't be playing is lay 1 tackles and getting it 6 times
Parker is suspended, fit as and played a month of VFL only Wicks could dream of.
Nothing but disgracefulComment

A farce of a decision.
The AFL actually argued intention doesn’t matter on high contact, despite acknowledging Heeney didn’t mean to hit him high. On that logic, careless doesn’t exist as a category any more.
There’s no distinction in character between Charlie Cameron and Heeney, but nope to that too.
That’s without getting to precedents like Hogan or Butters or Zerk-Thatcher.
Truly pretzel like stuff as always from the VFL.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Mills across half back.
Play Parker mostly in the forward line where he can lay a few tackles and kick a goal or two.
Make it happen."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

My suspicion with it being Mills coming back, Heeney out and Wicks back in is:
- selectors being risk averse (not wanting 2 players coming off a comparatively low fitness base coming in together).
- Risk of being a very slow forward line with very low pressure levels (if Wicks stayed out, and Heeney already being out)
- Wicks being clearly given a shot across the bow.
- This week is an effective straight shoot out this weekend between Campbell and Roberts for a spot (assuming one of them isn't the sub).
Will be interesting to see who the sub ends up being.
I don't subscribe to the same conspiracy theories of some (not on here - other forums etc) that Parker is being deliberately excluded, or some other grand conspiracy. I'm sure he is disappointed, and he may well put his name up to be traded. But equally, I hope it will see him put his head down, bum up and prove why he should be part of the best 23. The best answer to the critics (whoever they may be) within the club that means he hasn't been an automatic in is to show them why he should be in there.
Would not surprise me, if Parker plays well in reserves, and Wicks doesn't have a blinder, for changes to be Parker and Heeney in, Wicks and one of Campbell and Roberts out. Mills to play off the Half Back Line, Heeney to play more in the forward line, and Parker to play in the mid group and roll up forward."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I actually thought Campbell was better last week. There was one obvious defensive lapse on Higgins at a f50 stoppage but at least from the coverage, he was otherwise tighter, cleaner and great to see him spot the opportunity for a goal. The challenge for him gets higher when Harry returns.
Roberts is clearly struggling from not really being on the training track for a bit.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Just saw the Heeney appeal decision....what a disgusting load of BS. This league is a farce.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. 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.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
