O'Loughlin
Great that some think he is playing well. But given Hall being double and triple teamed constantly, surely it is O'L's time to stand up?
As an aside Sydney paid the penalty of chipping the ball around with 3 minutes to go last week. Why not push forward for a score - which would of made it a lot tougher for Brisbane to score twice, Cost them 2 points in the end, but thats footy.
Good luck for the finals - looking forward to some free flowing play and plenty of goals.

The way I saw the endgame v Brisbane is that we lost it when we attempted to push forward. Five deliberate behinds and kickouts would have been better and probably used up the clock.Comment

Am I the only person whose eyes glass over when someone pulls out useless stats?
I like to rely on my eyes when I'm summing up a players contribution to a game ... not the stats sheet. There are lots of things that happen behind the stats.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

As I've said many many times, you need to watch the game and look at the stats.
It's amazing how many times people have mistaken perceptions on a player's game based on a couple of incidents, yet the stats show something completely different.
Similarly, stats miss a lot of what occurs in the game.
Still, it's interesting that people think possessions and goals and marks and tackles and clearances are "useless stats".Last edited by NMWBloods; 22 August 2007, 11:12 AM.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

The one thing that stats do is remove bias. We know your views of certain players (I think earlier in this thread you referred to Davis as "lazy" and a "showpony") so therefore if we relied on your eyes we would be getting a very warped view of players and their performances.
Stats should be used to back up arguments. In this case, I think it's pretty cut and dry that Davis and MOL are having very similar seasons, which is why the stats were produced in the first place."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

Did you see our F50? It was completely flooded (what? I can only use that word when describing the Swans defence?) so that any forward push could have been quickly stopped. Maybe we could have trapped it in the F50, maybe Black would have dished off to a sprinting Power and the result be the same. We did what we should have done. Not kick to a contest when in front with a couple of minutes left. If the Lions manned up, sure, go forward and try and score, but really I think the boys did the right thing, just lost the last crucial stoppage.

They stupidly tried to kick to Hall over his head and as usual he was nowhere near marking it. Instead of doing that they should have kicked it long into our forward and forced a stoppage there. At least that would have provided an opportunity for a rushedbehind. A stoppage on the wing was stupid.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Kanga ... Micky could very well be minus two on that list and we'd still love him to death.

- 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. 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.
