How to beat SwansSIX KEYS
BARRY HALL
HIS leadership and presence out on the ground is a key for the Swans. Everyone looks up to him and if he fires the rest of the team lifts.
PAUL WILLIAMS
HE HASN'T been playing to his best but Paul Roos should put him in the centre and just let him play.
He can break a game open with his pace and Geelong doesn't really have a good match-up for him.
LEO BARRY
I WOULD move him out to centre half-back and let him play the way he used to, with a licence to run off and create. The Swans' defensive rebound is the key to their game plan.
STEVEN KING
Sydney have been worried in the past about the Cats' skipper's ability to win the ball in ruck contests.
On his day he is as good as any ruckman going around and will be vital tomorrow night in giving his midfielders first use of the ball. Needs to mix-up hit areas and get the ball to the outside, to quicker players, so the Cats can try to run the Swans off their legs.
GARY ABLETT
JARED Crouch has got him a few times so would be determined to bounce back. I would play him more in the midfield ? while he's not the fittest player going around, he is one of the best in tight. SCG should suit him.
MATTHEW SCARLETT
SYDNEY will try to drag him up the ground and pull the Cats' defence apart.
Scarlett has to stay at full-back because he is the one that holds the defence together. If Geelong allows Hall to get up the ground with him it exposes Sanderson, Harley or Milburn on O'Loughlin. -
Geez Cressa,
Thank goodness your record with us is better than against us.

Yeah I think he may be on a counter-sabotage mission for Roos. He is actually on our staffing panel.Originally posted by BRISWAN

FFS these are EXACTLY the tactics Brisbane tried at TS in Round 20! They flooded, they moved Mal Michael off Hall, they tried to keep hall 30m+ out, they tried to frustrate him...
The result was an 84 point hiding. Oops.Our Greatest Moment:

To be honest, I'd prefer it if he served his assistant coaching apprenticeship with as many different clubs/coaches as possible - that way he will be of immense value when he finally "comes home" to the SwansOriginally posted by timbo

You need external opinions and ideas.
Of course, if he cares to do a little light sabotage work on our behalf when the team he is working for comes up against us... I would not think it amiss AT ALL
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

Wow, the two Swans who made the AA team are important and so is the ruck contest. I feel like someone just pulled our pants down.

It's not Sabotage.
It can't be sabotage for he has let the whole world - Including the Swans - know what his tactics would be against us. It would be sabotage though if he went behind our backs to contact Geelong with his real game plan that wasn't broadcast in a major Newspaper.
Hope to see you back in acouple of years Cressa!!!
Come back and join Kells!!!Comment

Re: It's not Sabotage.
It IS sabotage if he knows that his tactic would be an abysmal failureOriginally posted by originalswan

They played almost exactly as Cressa suggested -- and nearly ended our season as a result.
I'd expect St Kilda to be looking pretty closely at his gameplan now, seeing as it worked so well.
I am (or was) a huge Cressa fan. But after this I gotta wonder what the @#$% his problem is?To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!Comment

$ It is not about mateship, loyalty, or a love for the club. It is about dollars. It is professional sport. We, the fans, display those qualities, but players, and former players, are trying to earn a buck. There would be very few players that have the same love, passion or commitment to a club that even the most fair weather of fans have. Good luck to him, he has kids to feed.Originally posted by Red

If you want proof of how important this club is/was to Cressa just dig out the picture of him after the 2003 QF. Players that move into the media/coaching are always going to have to comment on/coach against their former teams.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

- 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.

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.

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
