I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itself -
What ever shall we do?
Seriously, career over. Put a footballer in his place for 3 months and there is no way back for LRT. Well done Lewie on playing 50 more league games than you ever should have. -
I actually rate LRT. Not the most coordinated looking footballer going round, but he can play. 2005 Grand Final.....Comment

God you scared the hell out of me.. i thought you ment he was out for the first 10 rounds.Comment

Is there ANYONE in the swan's organisation you actually respect or admire ROK?Comment

And he's been carrying the injury for months. It puts the relative fadeout at the end of last season into perspective.
But what happened to the club's (justifiably) vaunted injury management? That's a long time for such an injury to go on.
And why play him through the finals? I know players with injuries in finals series are not uncommon, but with his effectiveness reduced to that extent, why not use Vogels?Last edited by dimelb; 3 February 2007, 09:20 AM.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Colless has my respect and admiration. Roos has my respect as a coach. There is no one who does not respect and admire Goodes. Hall and Barry have my respect as players and leaders. Kirk has my respect for what his has achieved on the football field and his courage. I think he is overrated though and is a stopper rather than a creator. Similalrly I admire J Bolton's courage and endeavour. His ability leaves something to be desired. MOL is a favourite for his 'silky' skills and his antics each time he gets bumped. His is a one of a kind and has both my respect and admiration. RO'K is another favourite - except when he pings away and lobs them in the crowd.Originally posted by royboy42

I like most of the others, respect the work they do to achieve what they have and admire their abilities. Of course Davis is a favourite because he can do the almost impossible, can win a game or two of his own boot and will entertain. Benny Mathews is a player I do not have much time for - but again respect and admire what he has achieved.
LRT has my respect and some admiration but is terribly overrated - his first half of the '05 GF was not that good, the ball seemed to find him moreso than him finding the ball. He has improved and is now a big tagger - a stopper of opposition forwards. While this is a major part of being a back he is not a true CHB imo, and I would much rather see a more creative player in the position. He still lapses into the realm of the hopeless occasionaly. If he is the best we have got then so be it, I will cheer him on whenever he wears the red and white.
Crouch is another that I have been critical of. He was becoming a liability last year and probably played throgh to much pain for too long - and dare I say it put himself before the team. I do not think he will ever be the player he was and I honestly think that his career is as good as over. That does not mean that I have no respect or admiration for him.
Probably the only player that I do not really like is Jolly. He is not a great tap ruckman and gives us bugger all around the ground. In his defence he was pretty much the only ruckman for most of the year and probably struggled under that burden but I just feel that there is something lazy about him and that if the Donk stays fit, he will be rucking in Canberra by the split round.
I have little respect or admiration for most of RWO.Comment

I cant understand why you would persist with a player who was knowingly injured and wasnt playing to any standard when there were more able bodied players in the reserves fit to take up the challenge. A player like Vogels would have been an asset on the day not a liability - But I guess it is a completely different set of rules for LRT (God I hope that his biggest fan - being the cranky cow who sat in front of us at the 2005 GF isnt reading this - she may seek me out in the MA Noble and belt and berate with her red beret!)Last edited by Wardy; 3 February 2007, 08:09 PM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Why?Originally posted by swantastic
IMO nope Vogels by a country mile.
He's played about one quarter of senior AFL footy in defence - and not as a CHB. Whenever he's lined up in defence in the ACTAFL his form has been pretty ordinary. Unless he has worked miracles over summer, his endurance is nothing like able to stand up to running with the top CHFs in the league.
I would have thought that Ted and B2 are going to have to cover the CHB position between them unless some miracle emerges over pre-season.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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

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.
