Going alright the old bloke.
Seviceable without starring. What I like is he is finishing his games off well, so his indurance is ok.Comment

In the interview I heard on BigPond he has moved into second position for highest number of games by a Tasmanian. Alastair Lynch will be 7 ahead at 307. All going well he will surpass that total well before the end of the home and away. He joked that Roosy might sack him so as to preserve the record of his good mate Lynchy (from Fitzroy days). He also said that he would sit down mid year with Roosy and Andrew (Ireland) to determine his future. It's hard to read between the lines about whether there's another year left but post football he indicated that he would go back to Melbourne so the kids could see more of their grandparents.
Cressa was instrumental in getting him up to Sydney and he confirms that it was easily the best move he ever made.Run2Live,Live2RunComment

There are some very flattering things being said over at Big Footy by supporters of all teams but especially Collingwood.
A few weeks ago he said his body still seemed good enough that he could consider another year. He's not as dynamic as he was but he's not that far off it.
How many of us here first had thoughts to Willo when the siren went last year - the most games played by any player without a Premiership until Sept 24 2005 - and Ball, playing his last game? Characteristically, Jason was exuberant that night and Willo was just quietly happy.Comment

An unpretentious master of the game.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

An unpretentious master of the game.
i posted this at bigfooty...
additionally, i heard he got into some financial trouble with a chain of sport stores he was a partner in. apparently he lost a lot of money. i hope he'll be set after footy regardless, but i imagine each decent year of afl pay he can get under contract he'll take. best of luck willo.i can call willo's goals with > 90% accuracy as he launches and you can too.
i) if he curls his tongue in his mouth as he kicks - goal
ii) if he doesn't - miss
possibly the best example of a player that has to be totally absorbed in the moment or his brain gets in the road.
funnily enough, while his brain brings him undone when he's got the sticks in range, it's that same noggin that gets him in precisely the right position so many times to receive the free ball.
i just love watching him play.then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i knowComment

A True classy sportsman. Congrats to Willo on 300.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

Which perhaps is why he's so mediocre at set shots . . . . . and why Ben Matthews is so good.Originally posted by timthefish

His game vs Geelong was outstanding - he's still gotta lotta love to give.
Interesting to compare how the Pies supporters view Williams & Davis - there is still genuine fondness for Willo & lot of people very happy to see him with a premiership medal. Their view on Davis is less generous.Comment

An out and out Champion, what a pick up and how instrumental is he running through the lines and with his penetrating purposeful delivery
He will go down in our club history as one of our best
Well done WilloComment

- 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

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
