Surely you would be kidding???!!!
In other words they play all games as upsets, so really they actually think we will win

In The Age today 17 tipsters including the computer and 15 picked the Swans to win and guess who is one of the 2 who did not ?. Our great mate the lovely Caro . I would say that she has really got it in for the Swans at the moment with the Wallace story. Could this reaction be linked to our surprise win over the Tigers?. Does she have any journalistic ethics or am I misjudging her?Last edited by SWANSBEST; 13 June 2003, 03:52 PM.WMPComment

The REAL K.o.D. is if Dipper tips us in The Record !
Great fun to look back on some of his anti-Swan predictions.
If he has gone for the Dogs , we've got the points in the bag.Comment

What you need to understand is that this coffee scroll comes from good AFL stock, therefore her heritage puts here into the AFL clique, and becomes genuine sucking up to material for all and sundry who wants to listen to her. Enter little Mikey Sheahan the master of sucking up.Originally posted by SWANSBEST

They tend to feed off each other, the difference is that at times Sheahan knows what he is talking about, and makes the effort to make considered opinion about the game. Whereas his counterpart relies on her "contacts" from the inner circle and can only talk topics political. Some of the people who give her the dribble she writes must roll around laughing at the crap she writes. You wonder if some people are merely taking the PI55 out of her. Wouldn't surprise me if her latest info on us came from the club deliberately, because everybody knows her articles smack of little substance.
There is no doubt if the AFL wants something leaked, then Mikey is the man. I seem to recall he was on the VFL payroll before he became an "iminent" journalist.Comment

I think her father used to be president of Richmond.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Whenever I see Caro I can't help myself but think of Homer's classic line "The legend of the dog-faced woman". As I said in a previous post (or words to this effect) don't give her the satisfaction of even reading her drivel. As well as being fairly stupid and ill-informed, she's way too ugly (even for the 10.30 pm timeslot on Ch7), thus discounting any credibility she may consider herself as having.Comment

Hmm...As a member of the "fairer sex" I feel I should be demanding a bit of PC'ness on this matter. After all, Mike Sheahan and mates would hardly win any beauty contests.
Then again, this is Caro we're talking about!Comment

Let's not get it all out of context. My "tongue in cheek" statement about her appearance has nothing to do with any woman other than Caro herself. Had I said "What does a woman, let alone one as ugly as Caro, know about footy or any sport other than domestic duties?", you would have a legitimate comment to make and I would skulk away with my misogynistic tale between my legs.Originally posted by lizz

I'm trying to assume that maybe my non-usage of an emoticon has perhaps left readers of my comment (such as your good self) thinking that I wish to be taken with more than the token grain of salt on the matter of Caro's visual aesthetic.
Spot on about Mike though. He's got a good face for radio, and unlike Caro, is often afforded the luxury of being taken seriously.
Having said that, I'm going back to the cave to suck some bone marrow out of a carcass that I found out on the plains of the Savannah, followed by some grooming with my fellow tribe members. I may even discover fire at some point.

I too am ignorant in the use of emoticons - my comment was actually meant tongue in cheek as well, hence my final sentence!Comment

I reckon she needs to choose another vocation other than footy tipping or 5th rate, toilet journalism. Go The Bloods for proving the dog-faced one to be right off the mark (yet again).

- 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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.
15) Guidelines regarding Visitors to RWO for RWO members.
Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
