Fluff like this makes the pre-season even harder to bare.

Not even Dennis Pagan, despite what he says to journalists/his players.

but Collingwood had just lost two grand finals in a row as well - that's enough to make any team lose the plot.Originally posted by barry

Yep, it's easy to be blase about the Wiz Fiz Cup when you have a cupboard full of premiership cups... oh hang on...Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Carlton won the Wiz Cup but I think they looked fairly impressive,
whereas the Coasters showed their slips in an away game once again.
Judd was outstanding whereas Fletcher and Cousins continually turned the ball over from poor selection and weak (physically) kicks. Lose Judd and it's good night nurse for the Coasters.Comment

from afl.com.au:
from afl.com.au:
Sydney - Worrying - The Swans, like Essendon and Hawthorn, did not win a game during the pre-season while the other 13 clubs all won at least two of their four outings. Yet the Swans looked promising during their Wizard Cup loss to the Bulldogs when the club played a virtual reserve side yet still almost won the game. Swans' coach Paul Roos remains unconcerned at his side's winless pre-season however saying their 2005 build-up had been "a lot smoother" than last year.
Im more optimistic.Comment

Would you rather risk senior players in the Wiz Fiz or have them nursed through the pre season and fully fit come round 1Originally posted by NMWBloods

We did actually win one - the NSO game. Obviously that doesn't count for afl.com.au as it was an exhibition game rather than a practice game. And it was only the Bombers...Originally posted by dendol

The Dogs and Lions games are irrelevant as far as predictors due to the make up of the team.
We may have lost the other two but by a combined total of 3 points. Add to that the fact that even opposition supporters watching those games suggest that the Swans maybe edged their opponents around the ground but didn't convert as well as they should have. We didn't win but were certainly competitive - very different to the Bombers.Comment

unfortunately, while judd was keeping the eagles in the game, it was him who lost it for them. ie, uncharacteristic fumble leads to super goal to prendergast. gives away free kick leading to fevola's 7th or 8th goal. it was there for him to win it off his own back but couldnt quite. BOG for WCE though. he is sizzling when he takes on his opponent!Originally posted by Nico

the two midfields ran so far wide of each other, nick stevens wouldve picked up a few possessions at his brother's wedding. good to watch, free-flowing - but very unaccountable.C'mon Chels!Comment

More fluff to keep the RWO's happy.
Yeah no one takes the wiz cup seriously not even a proud club like carlton who in their history never finished last up until a few seasons back. Look what a preseason cup win can do..the place is full of vibe and optimism. Noooo they didnt want to win a useless cup.
But no, not the swans or the rwo's who are in denial. I mean whats another year to add to our already pathetic history.
Anyway lets see after 5 rounds where we are at.Comment

I don't think our pre-season is as worrying as some people think. I just hope the guys take a better attitude into the proper season.
I don't think the Wizzy Cup is a big deal as I particularly don't want to see our players injured, however I think it's a bit laughable for us of all teams to virtually write it off as a nothing win.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

- 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
