    May pose a bit of a threat, but anything they come up with young Desmond can do better.

        It should actually complement this site, rather than compete with it. It seems to be offering more inside information, something which we don't pretend to do here. Match reviews on senior games are already plentiful but those written by regulars here supplement them, and come from another angle. No reason why that shouldn't be the same if we manage to get more reserves match reports on here too.

        This site remains the place for us to share our opinions and our own takes on events, whether through the message board or via the team of staff writers.

          About bloody time the club got some of its own people working on the official site.

          As Liz mentioned, it won't be competition to RWO at all. They offer things that we can't, and vice versa. Get your official news there, get your 2nd opinions and chat about it here.

          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 This is obviously out of date.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....

            This site is by the fans for the fans and that is something the official site will never be able to offer.

                    It SOUNDS like an improvement, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It's not like it was 2 years ago where it was an independent site and they could do pretty much what they wanted. Now its part of the Telstra AFL network, they would have more red tape to work through.

                    If it does improve, great, but at the same time, if it's still ordinary like it was in 2002, I'm not fussed either. I don't really use it for too much info (can get pretty much everything there through newspaper sites), and of course here on RWO we can voice our opinions, and read what other swans fans think too....

                    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

                    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                      Following on from Mr. Juicy's suggestion, I want to say I think this site is great and so is the official site and so is this site!!

                        LOL. Yeah this site is great, the other site is yet to be great but I'm sure it will be great. Any other sites are great too. Des is the Best. Go Swans!

                          Swans new site will be ****e!

                          Guys Guys Guys...don't get too carried away!
                          The New Improved Swans site will only be coming up to speed with what the other AFL clubs now offer (not much). So Tadgh will do a column (wow) just like Josh Fraser, Brad Johnson, Andrew McLeod etc.

                          Their site will still have to toe the club line and the AFL line! This will still be the site for the fans, this will be the site that focuses on the Canberra comp overall and not just the Swans, this will be the site talking about the Sydney Football League and this will be the site where you can say the price of membership is too high and food at the SCG is a bloody rip off and you wouldn't give it to a dog anyway (love to see Tadgh write that!) and this will be the site where you can argue a case or question the Swans or the AFL or the NSWAFL! This is where the fans write the stories!

                          And it's about to get better!

                              Very true, the new site will be interesting to have a look at, but I dont think des has anything to worry about
