Everything Roos said is true of course.
We should know in a few weeks (assuming they name a captain before the NS game) -

i cant wait till they name the captain who do you think will be a good onejude bolton and adam biggest fan everComment

Should be interesting.
I still think we should go with someone like Maxfield, then look at handing it to a Ben Fixter/Kennelly/Saddington type of player in a couple of years ...Comment

I think Charlie meant that if Cressa were playing (which he is) then he should get mentioned as a possible candidate.Originally posted by vagary

I thought it makes a lot of sense of choosing a Captain who was not part of the "past".
I know the Club will make the right decision.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

What I was referring to was the way they spoke about Maxi, Nicks and O'Loughlin being the last 3 players from an era that didn't reach it's potential.
Cressa isn't from that era???We hate Anthony Rocca
We hate Shannon Grant too
We hate scumbag Gaspar

I think Roos is on track with this one, and we as supporters need to have faith in his decision. Gotta look forward rather than back. Of the four possibles named in the article, I prefer Goodes, with Crouch as VC.

Of those 4, I would probably personally go with Saddo - has scarcely put a foot wrong since his early debut and has IMHO put in a bit more work than Goodsey - Having said that, I would not complain if any of the 7 players mentioned are given the captaincy. Each is deserving in their own way.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

I actually reckon its a bit unfair to label Nicks, O'Loughlin and Maxfield in that way - it sounds somehow as if they are personally responsible for the fact the Swans haven't won a flag in the past few years. Surely its to do with all 40 odd players that have been on the list at any one time plus coaching staff, off-field set-up etc.
In particular, O'Loughlin is only 25 and has played 7 seasons with the club. He could easily have another 7 seasons with the club and be an integral part of future success. I don't reckon any club can look to build towards a premiership more than 3 or so years to the future because there are too many imponderables that can fundamentally change the make-up of a squad over periods any longer than that. Surely he's not on the reject pile yet?Comment

I'm wondering if Roos' is actually seeing past the "emotional" issues that may or may not be attached to these players. Maxi may well only have one season left in him (I hope not). Nicks can be very inconsistent, although like Maxi, is popular with the fans. I also think (and I can already hear the groans) that Roos is viewing Magic as a "wait and see" prospect, regardless of his age and prior service to the club.Originally posted by lizz

I don't think Roos would be holding them accountable, I just think he's seeing the bigger picture. Maxi IS on short time, Nicks IS on borrowed time, and Magic IS worth 2 good picks (imho).
The least these players can do is prove Roos wrong, which I have no doubts that they all will.

- 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.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. 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.
10) Off-topic Posts
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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
