You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -
It doesn't quite wrap him up for life... but it does wrap him up until he can go on the vet's list... so it's effectively the same thing. Great to hear.We hate Anthony Rocca
We hate Shannon Grant too
We hate scumbag Gaspar
But Leo WE LOVE YOU! -
A four-year contract keeps him at the Swans until he is 30, so you can assume that Micky will stay at the Swans. I'm so happy for him and it will be great to see what Micky can do in the next four years.Sydney Swans Premiers 2005 - The Mighty BloodsComment

4 years is a pretty long time, If his goal is to stick with one team, then thats his goal. Lets worry about these 4 years, not after it.Using hypothesis testing via confidence intervals:

Wooo Hooo!!!
Thats excellent news.
Why would he want to go elsewhere anyway? If he wants a premiership, Sydney is the place to be. A bright future ahead.
Onya Magic!!Go the BLOODS!Comment

Dont get me wrong it is great news he resigned but is anyone else worried about the length of the contract.
I was listening to Essendons president last night of talking footy saying it was crazy for any signing of long terms contracts at the moment because of the upcoming footy TV rights coming up for grabs, and currently I believe the rights went for 100 million but if they go for 70 million next time for example than there is less money alround for clubs and their salary caps, thus if I'm not sure if micky is signed past the next footy rights bid, but if he is then this may be a another case of mis-management / administration by the swans, which may cost us a good player or three - ala essendon.No.1 ticket holder of Nick Davis Fan Club...Comment

The tv contract thing is an issue....but signing a player like Magic for 4 yrs shouldn't be. There's been a lot of talk about clubs getting burned by offering long contracts to marginal players, or players at the end of careers, and that IS a big risk, as you might end up with a non-contributing player sucking the cap dry.Originally posted by Cheer Cheer

Mick isn't one of those players. He's a genuine star and you only have to look at our performances with him out of the side to see his impact. The other thing to consider is that in Sydney, the conditions are a little differnet. We really need to maintain longevity out of our quality listed players. Things can go pear-shaped pretty quickly in this town.
Plus he's still young. I think longterm contracts are more problematical when you're offering them to 29 yr olds, than 26 yr olds.Time to march for the Red and WhiteComment

I can't see it being a problem at all.
If the report is accurate it merely seems to be a bit of a compromise deal. Instead of paying (for example) $1.2m for 3 years, Micky has accepted $1.4m for 4.
So in effect we are getting an extra year for $200K. And with our current room under the TPP cap, they'll probably be doing the opposite of all other clubs and 'front-load' the deal so that they're only paying a max of perhaps $300K in 2006/07.Comment

Hope he doesn't get tagged "enigmatic" and injury luck improves.
I am surely not alone in feeling we still have not seen the best of this terrific player and a "great bloke" as well.Comment

Its not like we are signing him to a 5 year - $500,000 per year contract, like Essendon did, for Mercuri.Once was, now elsewhereComment

Good on him, loyalty is an awesome thing to see. Obviously knows a premiership beckons at the SFC
Hopefully it is as good as the Lynch deal for the lons- Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!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.

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
