I agree - Bloods have three key players out - Hall, Everett and Kennelly -
The break out in the last 10 was due to only having one ruckman - and a backline with some inexperience.
I like the kids, but Roosy has to give some thought to either Crouch or Matthews...we have one too many newbies who were looking for nanna in the last 10.
On Channel 10 - the sly digs will keep coming after the Swans complained about Lane - maybe a petiton to the AFL is in order - but it would have to come from the the membership base.
ONE LAST THING - ITs "shot AT goal" - dont be cretins all your lives and follow some mindless old WA slob who decided it was clever to say "on"...exercise your education/intellect - people will respect you more for it.
and thanks for the commentary.
Cheers.Comment

So many observations on today's game but I believe it was winable if we had kept our composure at "those" moments.
Some poor disposal from almost everyone and the speed at which Geelong closed in to tackle when we needed to get rid of it a step earlier, the Perps were:
Birdy
Craig
Goodes (running into goal)
and there were others
Leo was superb, played a captain's knock. Hope Barry Hall took notes on the kinda ticker that he used to have and let go. I wished he was there. He would have been able to contest with Scarlett under the hard earned 50 entries.
Nick Davis may indeed be relegated to the ressies again. He was shown for his lack of everything apart from a dead-eye set shot kick. It's not good enough, he can't jump, can't run and didn't have his footing at vital times. One small defensive effort and a single goal was all that was memorable.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

I think you could add Malceski to that list, DJ
EDIT: Beat me to it!Comment

My point about David ws, that today was his chance to shine....and he didn't.
Goodes had some good patches....plus we know how well he, and Mickey, can play.
It's hard to tell from watching a TV game, but Davis seemed lazy and just not good enough.Comment

Davis gave a couple of free kicks away for hands in the back at very very costly times.Adam Goodes: Rising Star 99, Brownlow 2003, 2006

I don't know that Davo was lazy. I think he just lacks a trick or two in his bag. Those he has are very very good and have got him to where he is. But he has almost no jumping ability, and he's also pretty ordinary at using his body to create an advantage in marking contest. He reads the ball pretty well so if he manages to get in front in a one-on-one and the ball is slightly to his advantage, he's a pretty good contested mark. But he doesn't seem to be able to turn a 40/60 contest into a 60/40 one in the way the best forwards can.
In a crowded forward line, with hapharzard delivery forward, he's always going to struggle in the air.Comment

Did Cheese play the second half? I hardly sighted him therefore I suspect he may have been off injured (could be wrong)."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

Might as well play without a forward line.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

I reckon Davis is often good at working out where it is going to end up. Often he goes there, and ends up with the ball. If it doesn't he can be miles off his man and looking the fool. I think he has lost the confidence to leave his man in the forward line and look for the uncontested possessions, or has been told not to. He is an opportunist at the best of times. He wont kick goals without opportunities, and they did not come his way today.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.

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.

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.
