You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -
George is said to be unimpressed."(Premiership ruckman) Jason Ball is going to continue to work which is fantastic in helping out our young ruckmen and our young key forwards, so we'll leave no stone unturned to continue to improve the football club." -
A "robust" meeting sounds a bit scary!"What we did, put simply, we went back to those things that make us successful. We had a number of very aggressive and robust meetings with players.Comment

Sounds like the consultant brought in the big vocabulary to subvert the players' bull@@@@ detectors."Some might say the rule changes have been brought in to subside our game-plan, but we definitely know we have the game-plan to succeed in 2006," Barry said.Comment

subside = "To sink to a lower or normal level."
"Some might say the rule changes have been brought in to [SINK TO A LOWER LEVEL OR NORMAL LEVEL] our game-plan, but we definitely know we have the game-plan to succeed in 2006"
empowerment = "to invest with authority, authorize"
We have belief in our system. Roosy's [INVEST WITH AUTHORITY, AUTHORISE] program has developed a feeling of self belief, that we can definitely defeat any team in the AFL."
[hasn't that been proven already????]
robust = "Full of health and strength; vigorous."
We had a number of very aggressive and [FULL OF HEALTH AND STRENGTH; VIGOROUS] meetings with players
Key indicator = 'Scoreboard"
But all we did was go back to those [SCOREBOARDS] that clearly tell us when we win or lose games of football."
In the old days this meeting would have occured at the pub and the report would have read...
"Sydney coach Paul Roos has outlined a [A FEW IDEAS] for [WINNING], while [HIS CAPTAIN] declared the reigning AFL premier [CAN] [STILL WIN] under to the [VFL'S] rule changes.
Fullback Leo Barry, one of Sydney's [TWO VICE-CAPTIANS] with [ROVER] Brett Kirk and centre half forward Barry Hall, said the 2006 Swans would be a displined [TEAM] "We'll play @@@@ing hard footy mate" and would play "footy to make the club proud."
"Some might say the rule changes have been brought in to @@@@ us up, but we definitely know we can stick it up em and win a few in 2006," Barry said.
"Over the last three years, our [STYLE OF FOOTY] has certainly [WON US A FEW GAMES] and regardless of any rule change [WE DO WHAT] Roosy's (coach Paul Roos') [AND THE OTHER FELLAS TELL US TO DO].
"WE RECKON WE ARE OKAY. Roosy's NIGHT AT THE PUB has MADE US REALISE WE ARE ALL GOOD MATES, that we can DEFINITELY BEAT THE OTHER TEAMS."
Roos said the three THINGS THE PLAYERS NEED TO KNOW were HOW TO KICK LONG, how the STICK UP FOR YOUR MATES IN A FIGHT, and GIVE YOUR MATE A KICK IN THE ARSE WHEN HE DOESN'T DO THE FULL 50.
"If we get those three areas right, it won't be 72 years before we celebrate again," said Roos, who guided the club to its first flag since 1933.
He said his coaching staff had worked very hard to REMIND PLAYERS THAT IF THEY DO THE HARD STUFF THEY WIN GAMES.
"We only have to look back to the last three weeks of football, we had an ordinary loss to Essendon and an ordinary loss to Richmond," Roos said.
"What we did, put simply, we PLAYED LIKE @@@@. We had A HUGE PISS UP ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND A FEW PUNCHES WERE THROWN, BUT EVERYONE MADE UP AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
"But all we did was go back AND LOOKED AT THE SCOREBARD FROM LAST YEAR TO REMIND OURSELVES WE WON A FEW GAMES."
Roos said the players HAVING MATES AROUND THE CLUB MEANT HAVING 'bloods' SPIRIT which had developed at the club.
"I think there's also a clear understanding IN THE TEAM THAT IF YOU STUFF AROUND AND PLAY UP, YOUR'E OUT" Roos said.
He said the club had a terrific SPIRIT and great CLUB MEN on and off the field, but would WORK ITS GUTS OUT TO KEEP GETTING BETTER.
"I think the off-season showed that a number of other clubs @@@@ING COPIED US," Roos said.
"Last year we spent A @@@@ LOAD OF MONEY on our football staff. This year we've already added (former captain) Stuart Maxfield as the HEAD RECRUITER.
"(Premiership ruckman) Jason Ball is NOT GOING ON THE DOLE which is fantastic in helping out our young ruckmen and our young key forwards, so we'll BUST OUR GUTS to continue to improve the FOOTY club."He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.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
