I felt a little sorry for Laidley when I saw the snippet of his press conference. Not because his team lost a game it should have won - there is no room for sentimentality when your team is seeking only its second premiership in 73 years.
But his despondancy when he talked about the domination of red and white in the crowd was sad.
I don't feel that sorry for the club as a whole. Their efforts to penetrate the Sydney market were half-hearted and not well thought out. Similarly, it is hard to see why the Canberra public should get behind them when they've made it clear they will relocate to the Gold Coast if they get a better offer. But I do feel a little sympathy for the coaches and players having to contend with a situation where their future is so uncertain and their support getting thinner by the year.
As far as the game goes, everyone's been saying how good Kirk was, especially in the final term, but who was playing on Daniel Harris? By a process of elimination I've concluded it must have been Kirk. IMHO Harris is vying with Hall for BOG honours. His clearances were the major reason why the Kangas dominated for so much of the game.
On the other hand, Bolton (C)'s game impressed me even more when I watched the replay, not only because he got so much ball himself and used it so well (two bad errors notwithstanding). I believe he was also responsible for Corey Jones for much of the game, and Jones barely got a look in. He's exactly the kind of forward who flourishes in difficult conditions and could have caused major problems for the Sydney defence had he got a look in.Comment

No sympathy at all. The North Melbourne club administration and board couldnt give a stuff about its supporters in Canberra. If they wont commit themselves to playing there long term, why should people in Canberra make the same long term commitment to support them. Especially when the reigning premiers are just a 3 hour drive away and wont be going anywhere else again EVER.Occupational hazards:

Kirk was on Harris for most of the game.
I thought Jones spent a lot of time on the bench as they went with a super tall forward line of Thompson, Rawlings and Hale?Comment

No sympathy here either!

There are posters on bigfooty seriously proposing that the Roos' future is as follows:
1. Hock their sorry arses in Qld... ACT... anywhere. Their only interest will be the cash.
2. Get lots of nice cash for playing no-atmosphere games in front of few spectators, and put nothing into junior and game development.
3. Then cut and run as soon as they've squeezed as much cash as they can take out of the other states, and return to Melbourne where an adoring membership base of 30,000 will be there to nurse them to long term financial success.
They've really learnt from their Sydney debacle, hey? I know that you shouldn't judge every team by its stupidest supporters, but honestly: these people actually wonder why Canberra was a red and white crowd on Sunday and why they have few-to-no fans in the rest of the country.
I agree with Liz that the Roos' plight is no cause for hubris, but at least circa 1993/4 Sydney developed a long-term vision for its future and has stuck with it.Comment

Most North games I've been to over the last decade or so have seen more red and white than blue and white...and that includes Melbourne games.We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.Comment

How is that relevant? Sure it was an incredibly sad night, but the Roos didn't cause that? They just beat us with a killer 4th quarter.Originally posted by Eala ?ireann

- 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
