You know, he's such a good club man that he's probably already offered to do it and paid his own way to get to Canberra!Yeah, but think of the ressies team. I reckon he ought to fly up to Canberra tomorrow afternoon and back up.
Only 12 listed players last week, no-one to come in (except maybe Vez, depending on why he missed last week) and two extra players on the club injury (bad boy) list. Someone's going to have to play a blinder for them to be competitive tomorrow. Why not Davo?
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

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 This is obviously out of date.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....

can someone that was at the game actually tell me what that Bartel free kick was for? Ch 10 never showed it or mentioned it. It was an awful long way behind the play!
And Liz, what I was trying to say about that Moore miss in the last quarter was more in terms of momentum- its all hypothetical but we kicked that well the momentum just might have swung enough for us to go on and steal it. We got smashed in the centre clearences mainly due to the fact we lost Jolly (Or partially anyway) at about the 20 minute mark and also that we clocked off.
But I totally agree that some of those earlier misses really hurt us- especially in the 1st quarter. We could of easily been within a goal or 2 at quarter time had we have taken our chances. And when you play Geelong you have to take your chances simple as."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

A key target is important, but you can kick goals without one (or at least more than we do). However, you can't if you persist with a slow sideways build-up. Half of our players look to go sideways before they go forward.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Maybe a chicken and egg situation.
It's been observed that when we played good footy in rounds 2-4, there were times during the game that we were playing on far more and trusting our forwards to beat their man one-out in a contest.
When you know you don't have the obvious target up there maybe you don't do it. Or maybe it's even more imperative that you get it up there quickly, because while ROK, Davis and O'Loughlin are all more than capable of beating an opponent one-out, none is particularly good in a pack situation.
Particularly in the first half, ROK was a very effective target around the forward 50 arc and won more contests than he lost. But he's not in kicking range there. Maybe they need to bite the bullet and play him more like 30m out. On the other hand, I think we missed a lot of his run around the ground yesterday.
Barlow's done some excellent stuff when he has the ball but at the moment he's only playing cameos. That's not unexpected but we not its not a lack of endurance that's stopping him being more involved. Maybe he and O'Keefe need to spend the next week watching tapes of some of O'Keefe's best games to try and help Barlow learn where he needs to run to emulate that role. And then use O'Keefe as a target closer to goal.Comment

Yes, but without Kennelly who else will kick in?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

mattner kicking in isnt too bad, made a few errors but a high percentage were pretty good. He is probably third choice for kick ins when we are at full strength.
theres a lot of players higher on the list to get stuck into than mattner.Theres not much left to sayComment

- 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.
