The AFL shouldn't allow teams to play their home games at opposition venues, It's completely unfair. The draw is allready uneven enough.

If you were a Bulldogs supporter I would agree with your sentiments, however being a Swannies fan, I'll take any extra advantage we can, including an extra game on our home turg the SCG.Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot

In any case, it's the Bulldogs decision, they are not forced to play up here.Swannies for life!Comment

I don't want to get into the Sydney vs Melbourne stuff that mention of this games brings up, but in plain, unbiased, logical terms, Sydney and Brisbane have the most travel of any teams in the comp (numbers of games, not kilometers) without having an extra "away" game at home, so doesn't it actually even the draw up just a teensy bit for those teams to play an "away" match on their home turf?Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot

What about WC and Freo? Besides the fact that it robs me of an extra oppourtunity to watch the swans play I don't believe in the idea full stop. It gives the away teams an unfair advantage over teams fighting them for ladder positions. I don't have a problem with teams moving their games to mutual venues such as manuka or hobart. The uneven way in which the AFL fixture is drawn is allready laughable. No other sport in the world would employ such ridiculous ideas in a profesional league.Originally posted by swansrock4eva

By playing each other twice - they get an away game at Subiaco, so they each play 12 at Subi.Originally posted by BayseysLeftBoot

Brisbane and Sydney also get that advantage now by the games bought from Melbourne and the Bulldogs.
I love it, a home game is a home game. I get the Melbourne fans totally, but if the AFL look after us with 6 or 7 still down there still, the Swans win full stop.Comment

We get 11-12 true home games, whereas many Vic teams get virtually neutral home games when they play other Vic teams at the MCG, etc, so it's a pretty complex discussion. You have to consider all of the issues if you are going to properly analyse it.Originally posted by swansrock4eva

Normally on most topics discussion consists of branding people as negative or moaners, unless they're positive. Considering all the issues and analysing would be anathema to some in the context of football.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

(I'm quite proud of the puns in that sentence.) You forget to add that: positive = Pollyanna for many, too. But we do go into some depth there - for superficial try BigFooty.Comment

I was thinking asthma! You, no doubt, had your mind somewhere in the Ponds institute with the Ponds Cold Cream and other essential oils.
But as much as I laughed - I bet we better go back to footy discussion or this thread will go to that great unravelling place known only to moderators.
Over at BigFooty you just have to post that the Swans are great and the other teams can't/won't/don't want to win finals and that keeps the gang happy for hours of diatribes.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.
