If Moore and Schmidt can't get a game ahead of McVeigh then their careers must be in serious trouble.Comment

Worst recruit - Mc Veigh or Scott Russell ??
What a contest....Mc Veigh versus Russell (remember him) out on the wing together....no 'hardball gets' here !! Plenty of ..'shirking the contest'.
One was a disastrous trade, the other a wasted 1st round pick.....they both make the Bomford trade look good !! Not to mention Ryan O'Connor !!
And who could forget the great Dion Myles??

McVeigh is a frustrating player.His pace is possibly what's keeping him in the team.Yes,he stuffs up a lot of the time but he does do some handy things as well.He contributed yesterday with two goals.On the other hand I think Moore or Schmidt could take his place.McVeigh is more of an athlete than the other two who are genuine footballers. Moore is very quick off the mark and has a good footy brain and Schmidt can do the brilliant thing when needed.He is very handy around goals.Both Timmy and Moorey are definately physically stronger that McVeigh.Comment

Gary Lyon saidMcVeigh is on fire today,he's kept the AFL NAB rising star to just 3 touches halfway through the 3rd.
Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

I think this is the crux of the argument, if players were dropped after a few weeks of bad form, these discussions wouldn't have to take place. McVeigh, Jude Bolton, Ben Mathews, even MOL could all at some stage this year have benefitted from a spell in the twos, but when the coach/match committee won't do that you really have to wonder where they are coming from. I know it's good to have faith in your plan for the team, but you always have to look a step or two ahead of where you are, because if you don't, just like when you are hiking, you will stumble and fall, and none of us want to see that happen again.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

With Macca due to play his 300th and play on again next season as an all time club champion and premiership winning captain, it seems timely to revive this thread which makes hilarious and thought provoking reading with the benefit of hindsight. It seems that barry at least has been consistent. Even by 2007 he had written "1000 pages on why [Macca] shouldn't be in the team". Likewise liz was consistent as the voice of reason even in this thread.McVeigh
How long is this dud going to keep getting a game?
He is a dear in headlights when he has the ball and always seems to choose the wrong option.
You never see him winning the hardball and he doesn't have the skill to be an outside midfielder. Worst of all is the lack of penetration in his kicking.
An absolute joke who must go.
Perhaps we can balance out the calumny heaped on McVeigh in 2007 (justified or not) by paying homage now to his deeds since.
Ironically, only the following year Macca won the Bob Skilton Medal and had some highlight performances like 6 goals against the Bulldogs in R18 and 20 contested possessions (squibbing the contest? methinks not! playing his role with discipline more like it) against Brisbane in Round 22.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

My first reaction was "What the hell?" A real blast from the past, and hard evidence that some things (and people) never change!
Congratulations Macca on joining such elite figures as our 300 Club.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

- 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.
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.
