Ducks one week, Swans the next... just don't be a Goose till October! -
I reckon young Schneids has had his fair share of KFC this year during his layoff. I hope it means more energy come finals time......Roosy = LEGEND -
I f he porks out, lets hope he can play like Plugger or Kickett!!Comment

I like the skills Davis brings to the Swans but I don't think his attitude as shown by that article is up to scratch.He admitted he trains at 80% yet plays at 100%.Perhaps he should ask himself if he trained at 100% would his "100%" effort in games be a lot more valuable than his current 100%.I hope that makes sense.Comment

I said a few weeks ago I thought he had love handles and was proven right. And Schneider the comment about training is spot on, perfect practice makes perfect. I do sense though that Roos is alert to what's going on.LIFE GOES ONComment

Who cares how much he eats or how hard he trains as long as he kicked his 3 goals per match.Once was, now elsewhereComment

It does matter if he really wants to play in the midfield. But hey, Im not complaining about his 3 goals per game at the moment, so let him have his KFC!Originally posted by robbieando

He had bloody "love handles" because he missed half the season. Maybe he should have had liposuction before he returned. I guess he's not posing for a porn magazine, he's trying to work himself back to fitness, and hold everything together at the same time, and heaven forbid, just have a joke along the way. Maybe we should hang him for having a personality?
From memory you've also said he's a bad kick, a liar, a mental case, and a host of other crap. You once said something along the lines that he was weak and let people intimidate him, yet i've noticed him sticking up for himself rather well and getting more physical in contests as recent as last Saturday night.
Either you mustn't have seen the same things, or you have and just haven't commented because they didn't fall into the " And i was proven right" basket.
Either that or you were a very ordinary footballer yourself, and hate anyone who has the ability to make highly skilled things look easy.
One day he might do something that you, Jenny Craig & Dr Phil approve of. I guess the rest of us will just have to make do with knowing that when he gets the ball, something very good usually happens.Sit down or i swear to God i'll have you shot.Comment

Ruda that was a bit harsh. On performance he can't be condemned and I agree he has a bit of personality. But these days clubs are professional environments and younger players look for role models ; eating junk food hardly sets the best example. If he had the application of some of players like Hird, Buckley and Kirk he could be a superstar. I have always made the comment that I think he wastes his talent a bit. The love handles was an observation ; frankly I was surprised when I saw them on the footage of training. Never had anything against him personally though, I think he is a mega talent. But Laidley made an interesting comment recently along the lines of he never congratulates players for inheriting their parents' talent, more the ones with the great work ethic. We all know Davis has good bloodlines with the Crosswell and Craig Davis genes.LIFE GOES ONComment

Reason i ask is b/c u followed him over from the pies, know a lot about him and when someone attacks him you defend him like he was your own son.
Just wondering that's all!

If he did I wouldn't complain but he is averaging 1.3 goals for his career and 1.4 for the Swans.With better fitness combined with his already excellent skills he would be a lot more valuable to the Swans.Surely it is not too much to ask for a professional footballer to get as fit as he can.Originally posted by robbieando

Trust me Snowy, those love handles are goingOriginally posted by Snowy
I said a few weeks ago I thought he had love handles and was proven right.
Also, Nick is known as a joker. And he will tell anybody that. Some of the things he says are taken out of context and made more serious then they are meant ...He who laughs last thinks slowestComment

Latest news from Sydney airport!
Neil a mate of mine who follows Northern Spirit with me sent this message through from his work.
"
Just been at the airport having lunch, and saw the Swans players there.
(BOOOOOOO!! Go the Eagles!!)
Anyway there was a group of them (including Barry Hall) that were all
sitting in a small restaurant (proper food) type place while Paul Roos was
walking around talking to players, etc.
As soon as Paul Roos left (to go wherever coaches go at times like these-
maybe to talk to media?), they all got up and went straight to Hungry
Jack's!!
Put your money on Richmond!!!! haha"
Hmmmmm......

- 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.

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
