Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
$50,000 with $25,000 suspended is getting away with it lightly in my opinion. It should not be happening in the AFL. Hell, it shouldn't be happening in the under 10's down the road. We are lucky....in saying this though, don't think we deserved to lose the points, but it could have happened.
Maybe it is time the AFL did something so this CANNOT happen again. They have enough 'officials' at the game, surely this wouldn't increase the workload too much...Go you mighty BLOODBOYS!Comment

how can the coaches know that they cannot send a 19th man on because there are massive consqeunces, if the swans are not given a heavy penalty now?
wallace is right i would of thought. The club deserves a strong punishment because as you say then the clubs know not to do it.Theres not much left to sayComment
-
i thought it was a fitting punishment, how the hell do you just run on the ground when someone is yet to come off.
Did we not notice three guys on the bench, where did they think the other guy went?Theres not much left to sayComment
-
You are kidding right???
The massive consequences are if the opposing captain calls a headcount, they lose all their score.
That's more massive then a 50/25K fine.
If you think any club would do it intentionally to gain an advantage and risk the consequences above, you are delusional.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

OK, we should be fined, but 50K is way over the top.
And look what 20K (correct weight?) got Hird and Essendon!He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

if you could get away with it you would, but you dont try because it was massive consequences such as a huge fine or at worst a loss of points.
thats why when it does happen there needs to be a big punishment and i think the 50k is good.
Wether we did it intentionally or not is irrelevantTheres not much left to sayComment

Watch for WC to do it next!
If the interchange system was more sensible, with stewards actually monitoring who goes on and comes off, then this wouldn't be an issue.
I suppose it seems a bit strange for us to think how White went on without Jolly coming off, but in a close game, first game, and a lot of stuff happening, it would be easy for a player not to be thinking about things clearly.
The fine of that size seems rather pointless and ludicrous, but does anyone really care?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

According to Ch10 sports news tonight, its $25K now - $25K "suspended" fine, i.e. if we do it again, we automatically cough up $25K. If we haven't done it again over 24mths, we don't have to pay it.
A "first gamer" was the person blamed for walking on the field.
Who was the first gamer??
Guess they'll be asking for gold coin donations at the turnstiles this weekend.
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

Should come out of the first gamers wage. Should teach him a thing or two.
What a great way to take attention away from another @@@@house weekend of umpiring. So does that mean we are still protected if a melbourne club gets only 7,500 and we cop a 50 thooooouuusand dolla fine? Gee some protection!Comment
-
On the contrary, whether it was intentional or not is highly relevant. If it was deliberate, the team deserves the book thrown at it, the match points deducted, and possibly other fines too. It would be cheating.
Does anyone seriously think any AFL coach would seek to use such a tawdry tactic to win a game?Comment

Anyone read the thread on BF about the 50K fine? All the UFO conspiracy theorists are out in force. @@@@ing fantastic!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.
