I don't know the wording of the contract, but if there aren't some specific out clauses then I'd be pretty shocked.
Either way, I don't care. I had my opinion, and it appears that the club saw it differently (so did many here) so he stays and I accept that and embrace him as a lasted Swan.
My assumption is that the club also holds no ill will and he is being given a fair go.

Hard to say specifically why players were omitted.
Perhaps Newman refused to do as he was instructed on the day?
Maybe AA is being put in the 2's to allow some experimenting with his game. Trying some things that are best not played with in the seniors.
