I will not be unhappy if, as it now seems. we miss out on obtaining Ottens. IMO Ricmond is asking a a lot for a player who really has not played very well since 2001 and has a history of a crook back and other injuries.
Unless a rabbit is pulled out of the hat very quickly it appears we will not obtain a gun mid fielder nor a star ruckman. That will be OK as long as we do not trade for some very average players from other clubs. Best to use the draft wisely and pick up more young talent I think.WMP -
Yep. I'm just hopeful that trade week ends before we do something stupid. A little over 38 hours to go.Originally posted by SWANSBEST

I wouldn't write us off yet, in regard to obtaining Ottens. If Geelong and Richmond can't reach a deal, Richmond will start to get very nervous as they won't want to lose him for nothing. As will be the case if he goes in the PSD.Bloods

Yeh, Sydney is just waiting in the wings waiting for the Cats to rollover on the deal. Wait and see some panic from the Tiges by Friday when they face the fact they may lose him for nothing in the PSD rather than trade successfully.Originally posted by Plugger46

I agree. I can't help thinking we will end up with jack or a dumb trade if Geelong don't sort out the Ottens deal until 1 p.m. tomorrow.Originally posted by ScottH

We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Relying on Collingwood to do a trade means the Geelong deal is doomed.
He's ours.Comment

I think there is a good chance we'll get Ottens, given that Richmond will now get Simmonds and they'll be keen to get something for Ottens.
Hopefully if we do we don't give too much away.
Would be nice, but not as exciting as if we managed to get a gun midfielder - this is where we desperately need help.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Why do you think that the people at the club, the professional experts, would do something stupid? Why do you have so little faith in them, to the point of being rude enough to suggest that they may do something stupid? Was trading for Hall, Williams, Schauble, Maxfield, Davis, Ball or C. Bolton stupid?Originally posted by Charlie

I can't really see how we'll land Ottens now . . . given that Geelong is his preference.
If Richmond get panicky, then they'll take Geelong's best offer.
If they hold firm, then Collingwood will take Ottens in the PSD.
We won't get a look in either way, will we?Comment

Oh, I have a lot of faith in them. I think Roosy and Ireland are two of the best football brains in the business.Originally posted by cruiser

But, faith or not, all the talk this year has been on 'aggressive trading', but the players worth aggressively trading for are rare this year. The players that ARE worth aggressively trading for, it seems we're trading for TOO aggressively.
There seems to be a risk this year of things getting a little carried away.
BTW - I'm relatively sure that Roosy wasn't offended when he checked this thread to see if I approve.

It's an unfortunate, but unsurprising, polarity of Swans supporters - blind optimism or realistic pessimism!!Originally posted by barry

pessismism seems to be a legacy of the old South Melbourne and early Sydney days, when we werent playing on a level playing field with the other teams, so little could be expected.Originally posted by NMWBloods

For the last 10 years we have been on a level playing field, and one of the powerhouse clubs, and no reason to think anything other than optimistic thoughts.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
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.
