Are you up for it
Ok I have a challenge for you Sydney supporters ...
I live in Sydney ... originally from WA. I go to many games at the SCG because I love footy and the Swans are OK.
After the game last Sat night I am taking action.
I am sick of over umpiring and Im asking all fans to boycott the game after the split the round. The only way the AFL is going to listen is money.
Im going to get out there and get this msg to all AFL fans possible. Not just to boycott the next game but protest outside all grounds that wkend until the AFL listen..... up for itComment

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I think a petition will be more suitable. I will be overseas until the Feo match but I am willing to collect signatures on the ground during that match and any home games thereafter if a few others here can came up with the proper wording for the petition.
Please PM me if there is anyone here who fancy the idea.I am as old as the sum of my disappointments and as young as those naughty thoughts in my mind.Comment

Petitions are binned the second the envelope is cut.
Boycott is a good idea.
Hell, we can all convene at the Alexy. And Annie, sure, you've paid your membership fees but so what?
I say boycott. In fact, I bet you that we could line up Tim Morrissey and get a mention, thereby widening the call.
We are only a few amongst many fans and any boycott that's confined to RWO would register as a blip.
So, what say ye and any ideas on how best to get the word out to the masses?
I say we start with the Tele and let the momentum spread from there. Scott, you are aware that RWO could issue a formal media release don't you? I'll happily write it for you - have written tons in my time.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

I'm thinking of giving it away too. Not as a result of last weekend's game (had we played better, not slipped over, taken marks we should have and played accountable footy then the umpiring wouldn't have been relevant) but because the new rules have changed the game and not for the better.
The 2 incidents that irked me the most were the free to Mal Michael, I commented, initially, that it was probably for an illegal push (ball not witin 5 metres) and was surprised it was given as a HITB, the other one was for the HTB decision against Malceski (I suggested the umpires might like to have another look at the rule book and learn about prior opportunity).
With regard to the booing, I didn't partake and wasn't aware of it until I read this site. I don't see a problem with booing a poor decision at the time (such as McPhee's OOB) as everyone knows what your are displeased about. As for booing at the end of the game I don't see the point, no-one knows who you are booing, it could be the umpires, the opposition or your own team.
I'm drafting a letter to send to the fat controller expressing my views on the new rules.Bring it on!Comment

Boycotting won't do much unless you boycott the whole year or not buying anything at all from the afl caterers at the ground. this won't happened - well not in Melbourne anyway. And if it does happened in Sydney then the swans will be labelled big sooks and trouble makers by the Melbourne print mafia.
You want to let the afl know we are not happy? How about we make a huge banner like 30 rows down and 100 seats across or even bigger with a huge message? We can place it behind above the boards where the redevelopment us happening or as added impact we can unveil it during the game...imagine the coverage? And the TV camera will def not be able to miss it and it should send a clear and strong msg home. In o/s competitions when the fans wanted to protest and let the leagues know how they felt this was the best action to take.
As i said if you really want to make the afl really hurt then boycott all AFL for one whole year. No TV no going to games not even buying official AFL newspapers. To them Crowd numbers and TV ratings mean a lot more than anything else and if the caterers are not making money then they will whine to the afl.
Petitions don't work at all. I have seen many binned or ignored.Comment

A boycott of just three or four games would cost the AFL hundreds of thousands of dollars. Want to hit them? Hit them at their hip pocket.
Sure, the Melbourne print would have a go but you would also see some media support.
However, either way, your banner idea is a great one and would certainly serve as a worthy back up.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

We could all just sing cheer cheer non stop at this years Grand Final when Vlad the dictator is speaking and about to present us with the cup?
Or is that considered a mark of disrespect towards someone we swans fan detest as a collective?
i mean we all boo john Howard at these events don't we?

This is a best idea I have heard all week. Here's an initial suggestion...
"Demetriou you @@@@ing dumb arse @@@@, stop @@@@ing with the game of footy and take your lame dip@@@@ ideas and shove up your mate Andrerson's well greased arsehole. Swans supporters sick and tired of having our team @@@@@@ up by biased dimwit @@@@stick umpires. @@@@ you very much."Last edited by Frog; 7 June 2007, 10:53 PM.

- 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.
