Fair dinkum, if I hear one more time that they beat us at our own game i reckon I'll be sick. having said that, it's surely neve been clearer to Roos and co that they need another game plan. Now I sound like the broken record....Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.Comment

ALL OVER!!!
St. Kilda 15. 7 97
Sydney 11. 5 71
Biggest loss of the season and consecutive losses now. We were outclassed and the umpires didn't support our cause with several stupid decisions made against us. The midfield went with the chipping game and had virtually no flow. There's too much reliance on Barry Hall to kick the goals and the key backmen Barry and Bolton were easily beaten by Gehrig and Riewoldt respectively. It's obvious that Kennelly is sorely missed as we've had almost no run from the backline and Roosy should've known that the Saints would flood and multiple-man up on Hall.
We're 3-4 now and face Port Adelaide next week at the SCG who are 6-1. Port played very well against a determined Richmond side. Brendon Lade is in very good form and given Jolly's and Everitt's performances against second-rate ruckmen like Rix, Lade will slaughter them. I think we can bounce back but it's going to be a big challenge if we're going to be at the MCG on the final Saturday of September...
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

Absolutely woeful.
"Ah, we'll just keep doing the same old things because those same old things won us a flag 2 years ago".
Time to wake up, I think. Nowadays you need to improve just to maintain your spot.
MUCH improved effort from Davis. Great game from O'Keefe. Jude Bolton, McVeigh and Fosdike obviously not up to AFL skills level. Goodes showed glimpses, but we need MORE from him. Ditto Everitt. Mathews, Craig Bolton, Richards were pretty solid I thought. Schneider and Buchanan had quiet games. Barry Hall... well, what can he do?
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

Players that need to go...
1. McVeigh : how many chances does he get? He added NOTHING tonight. Poor kicking, handballing, decision making, and generalyl soft at the ball
2. Crouch: I think hes glory days are done. He was absolutely towelled up by Milne. Clearly under-done due to his injury. Was ineffective in attack and defence, has lost his speed to compete.
Agree with all the other things being said. Outcoached tonight. BBB had 2 players on him most of the night, sometimes 3, but still we went to him.
They rebounded out of defence to easily. I hate to agree with Robert Walls, but that last quarter Roos continued to have an extra man in defence... why I dont know, given we were 25 points behind.
Its a shame that Kennelly is injured as with him gone we have next no attacking capability as Mal has to cover his role, leaving a bunch of slow taggers in the middle doing little more than directing the scrum.I'm Flyin' High...Comment

i'm not blaming the umpires (i blame roos -outcoached yet again, ummmm maybe you should try something different- and our stupid stupid mistakes) but i have figured out what rules they are told to umpire by:
any team playing the swans - rugby ie. anything goes
swans - netball ... cannot come within 3 ft. of anyone and must not dare to touch them
how about a little consistency between teams and being FAIR!!!
is it possible to get an inquiry or something into the standard of umpiring in swans games because it is ALWAYS bad.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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
