The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point... -
Hi there all, sorry for not being online recently been on a hiatus but been following results closely.
I still stand by my comments of stand by we are coming and would like to point out a article attached here from our website Welcome to the Balmain Dockers of our recent matches and performances.
Our great coach and support staff have got things right, very positive which makes me proud to be associated which such a great club.
A few weeks back we had to forfeit, but I do not see this as a bad thing, it freshened up our sailors.
We have three weeks left and watch out all you first division clubs.... I say stand .....by because whilst we may sit on the bottom of the table we wont be for too much longer.
As you can see from this article last week was a good result, I have 110% faith in our coach and our direction and rest of the season watch out and next year.... stand by a flag is around the corner
Below you can read only reason we lost was because of officials, and our coach said with statistics things could of been a lot different.
Below is article from our website,
First Grade Coaches Report 1st August 2009
Tuesday, 04 August 2009 09:03
Despite a final score that resulted in a 133 point deficit, the score was no way indicative of our efforts in the first half.
We were extremely unlucky (again) to be severely reprimanded by officials who gave three goals to our opponents. The first quarter saw an 11-1 penalty count against us. To the officials credit, they admitted their emotional decisions and improved after quarter time. However, the damage was done and compounded by our inaccuracy in front of goals saw us trail by 30 points at half time.
The second half saw our opposition get the jump and proved they are a very good front running side. Players we had held to low possessions all of a sudden came to life.
As I am one for statistics, as basic as it may seem , if you put their full forward in our team, minus 11 goals from them and add 11 to us we lose by 1 point. It shows how vital a sharp shooting key full forward is to a team at this level of football.
Bush was our best and fought relentlessly in the back 50. Stevens had his best game for us this season. Turner and Todd once again showed their class when the game was in the balance.
With three weeks to go, it is a good chance for players who have recently returned from injury and the kids to prove they are capable at this level. For others, even though the results haven't gone our way, individuals such as Turner, Todd, Miller, Randall, O'Brien, Blums and Jones have had their best career seasons and should finish off their good work.

I applaud your spirit and endeavour, but you must be kidding, the only reason you lost was coz of the officials decisions?? Take it on the chin, you lost-by a lot-to the better team. Stats or no stats, you got beaten like a bad child. I hear there may be changes afoot at TigerLand, or DockerVille. I will say, good luck with the rest of the season, and give it your all.The focus should be on player retention, and steering away from forfeits next year.Comment

10/10 for trying to stay positive - it's not easy. On their day they can be competitive - they beat Penno and only lost to North Shore by a kick.
But how to make their day come more often. That's a challenge......

From this report am I to assume Turner and Todd were good in the warm up? I would not of thought that the game was in the balance for much more than the warm up and the first couple of minutes of the game. I along with all other Sydney AFL followers cannot wait for the Dockers to trumpet the resigning of the great man on a new 5 year deal!!

How can that even be allowed to be posted? Administration control??
Seriously, what culture does this pass onto players - ie umpires fault.
LOL - umpires didn't kick 26 goals!!!!Comment

Im suprised the nswafl admin hasnt had a quiet word to the dockers about it, to imply that at quarter time the umpires admitted making "emotional" decisions is a slight on the umpires integrity.
My mail is that a merge between UTS & the Dockers is the only thing to stop them from being axed from premier division altogether.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.
