Amazing news ugg.
We would be seemingly screwed if Jolly decided to miss, but not necessarily.
Would Worsfold underestimate Doyle again like he did in the QF and leave out one of his ruckmen? Surely not.
Who was it on here that had "Paul Chambers - B.O.G. - 2006 Grand Final" in their sig a while back? Again, surely not.
One thought could be using Richards and Goodes to support Doyle in the ruck, and bringing in Vogels (yes!!) to play the role Ted's been playing.
It's an unenviable position for Jolly to be in. I would hate to have to make a decision like that. He would feel horrible if the baby didn't arrive, and we lost without him (an option I'd rather not even discuss). But how awesome would it be to win with Doyle as first ruck? It's a huge chance for him to repay the faith put in him!Last edited by Xie Shan; 24 September 2006, 02:00 AM. -

He's kidding everyone right?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 ZieglerComment

The above link doesn't work for me, but this one is about the same thing.
I have to say, if Jolly decides to miss, it will make the decision on Everitt easy. I'm sure the Hawks will swap Everitt for Jolly.
And I'm with Reggi. Off season relaxation or no off season relaxation, I don't care. NO UNPROTECTED SEX IN DECEMBER OR EARLY JANUARY!!!

We're screwed. If Jolly doesn't play the Swans can kiss b2b premiership good bye.
I still remember a similar situation last year when Saverio Rocca was late for the finals game against Port Adelaide at TD and the Roos were thumped at that game. He was returning from the hospital, where his wife was giving a child birth. It was a distraction they didn't need it.
I know players are just human and they have their own private life, but playing in GF doesn't come around every year. It's going to be an interesting dilemma for him. If the Swans lose because he wasn't playing how is that going to be percieved by the public? Favourably?Last edited by Zlatorog; 24 September 2006, 07:57 AM.Comment

Didn't you say we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves?

If had a strong second ruckman that can counteract Cox, I wouldn't be so worried. We don't have Ball and Doyle wouldn't be able to survive the whole game playing on Cox alone. So, any other suggestions from your magic ball?Originally posted by goswannie14

I am sorry, but this is the one game you have to play.
I don't have children so I probably have no right to comment, but surely when you are paid a few hundred thousand a year, a salary that will give that child a headstart many other children don't have, the obligation is to the team, club and fans that enable that salary and lifestyle? We simply aren't talking about a run of the mill match here...
I can't even express how angry I would be if he misses this game.
Any doctors around? maybe we can induce the baby on Thursday morning? hahaComment

I totally agree with Damien. This isnt just another home and away game. he would be letting down the team, the entire club and almost every Swans supporter in the country if he didnt play. Surely he can get another family member to fill in for him for a few hours on Saturday afternoon if need be. He doesnt need to get to the MCG til early Sat arvo and he can leave as soon as the game is over.Originally posted by Damien

I think it's a bit of sensationalist journalism, playing up the 2 weeks early thing to create a story.
Anyway, it's funny how with Tadhg and his decision, people were supportive of family coming first, but in this case not.
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

We didnt know whether that would affect the team performance in a GF. We know that without Jolly this Saturday, we're stuffed.Originally posted by Mike_B

Good grief woman! Haven't you heard of syntocin and a decent epidural! Get that baby induced on Thursday morning, have a nice quick/small baby labour ( I speak from experience here) , get all the 'ooh' 'aahs' over and done with on Thursday night and get Jolly down to Melbourne on Friday morning, in time for the parade.
Oh well, guess he could miss the parade then, but not the GF!!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.
