You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -

Hey Reggi, I know you were heartbroken as a youngster when Bernie Evans left, can you remember who got his number? Was he any good and did you have to change the number on your back.
The reason I ask is Casey is wondering who will get the #13 she has on her guernsey. She is hoping like hell it is Keiran Jack. She said to pass on she now knows how you felt all those years ago.

They either move and take on the Gold Coast name, or drop the games they are playing up there and fight to the death in the Melbourne.
They have to embrace the GC as their home to have any chance of surviving up there long term. What Gold Coast resident is going to go for them if they are North Melbourne or "Northern" - they are in South East Qld!!!!
I really do think we need a full time presence up there soon though, the AFL ignored Canberra when AFL was the gun sport there. With the amount of Southern state ex pats living there, it's really important they capture that market.Comment

Oh you betcha Reggi.
Never forget and never forgive. It might be 25 years ago, but so what. They were one of the 11 signatures that sent us to Sydney, they can end up in North Faisalibad for all I care.
The fact that I believe that us going to Sydney was a good thing is irrelevent.
SEN tonight was just laughable.
Norf supporters in total frenzy.
Heaps ringinig in saying "ive been a norf supporter for 30 squillion years etc etc etc" Problem is, most of em have been, yet thats all they have been. Not kicking in one cent yet happy to live off the handouts from the Doc, West Coast, Bears (Ruben Pellerman & Cronin), Weinhart & Willesee, and the SANFL via the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide and lately the $1.4 mill that the AFL kicks into them to keep them afloat. Total parasites. I say cut the support and let them rot!Comment

Whilst most of the above is a rant....
I'd agree with the last bit.......
Like it or not, AFL clubs are now a business. If they can't properly manage themselves, or don't have enough customers (i.e. members), well time for a restructure or a new product line my friends.Heaps ringinig in saying "ive been a norf supporter for 30 squillion years etc etc etc" Problem is, most of em have been, yet thats all they have been.

If the AFL was doing their job properly, they would hold a summit each five years and drag out the two (Maybe three or four) lowest performing teams (On and off the field) over the past five years and have them justify their position in the comp and their plan to rectify the situation. Then the AFL can review and make a decision on their future for the greater good of the game.
We all know that we can't support more tha 16 teams in the top level, how are we to ever expand to a truly national comp if we keep supporting lame duck organisations that undermine every other successful and well meanaged team's financial security.
This is the only way we'll end up with a truly national comp and teams in Tassie, Canberra, Woollongong, 2nd Sydney team, etc, etc.Comment

I hope the AFL won't have to resort to introducing a 17th team in the league. Kangas, just relocate or die already!
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

It sounds like it's the same scenario for them as it was for the swans.
They would be doing themselves a favour in the long term if they moved.
Melbourne unfortunately cannot support all the teams they have - at least one (if not two) have to move.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

The Fat Controller made an interesting point on ABC radio this morning. North is the only shareholder owned club in the AFL. Any other organisation that is share holder run and was making a loss would have to be propped up by the shareholders, not some other body. It is time for the share hol;ders to put up or shut up (He didn't say the last sentence, that is my thought).Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Well for myself they are a nothing club with not many supporters if they disapppeared I would neither notice nor care much. So send em to the Gold Coast or let them fold.
They aren't an imprtant club in the competetion and would soon be forgottenYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

- 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.
