Supposedly professional footballers who can't kick -even though they train 6 days a week - makes me sick.
We GAVE them that game through our own inept disposal.
363 v 315 disposals and we still don't even get close - that is a BIG worry. Bad kicking has cost us 3 games this year I reckon.
93 marks according to afl.com.au - wow highest I've seen for a while - how come we didnt win?
I reckon the only Swans players who convincingly beat their opponents were Goodes, O'Keefe, Moore and Barry. Anyone noticed a trend with Mick? He doesn't want to take a set shot if he can help it.
Canberra league standard has finally bitten us on the arse. Bird back to 2's. Roos rotates too much in my opinion - Goodes off the ground with 10 minutes to go! There is a bye next week for @@@@s sake!
I hate to say it.....but I think this year might be Kirk's last.Comment

so for all those who support getting rid of davis - was mathews the replacement ? what a farce we had two chances to win that game - the first and third quarters and both times our kicking was poor and cost any momentum
and once again when we play a team who has a game plan to quickly move the ball forwards our defence looks second rate
frustrating beyond beliefComment

toss up what is worse the poor kicking and disposal or the runing forward back side to side then a stupid handball to a stationary man surrounded by 2 opposition players
i wacthed richmond and stkilda last night and the tigers were more impressive than us, they just go for it. you can tolerate mistakes when a side backs itself and tries to create play eg barlow late
but today was pathetic. the dogs are a good side no doubt about it but the scoreline flattered us today.Theres not much left to sayComment

He's best friends with Brad Johnson, enough said.
Sydney had more shots at goal but failed to convert many of them. They outpossessed the Doggies in the midfield but failed to shut down their attacking style of footy and let Cooney and Johnson kick 5 and 4 goals respectively. We dominated in hitouts and tackles but didn't result in much positive for the Swans.
Fortunately the Victoria vs. Dream Team game is on next week but the clash against Essenscum at ANZ in a fortnight's time is a must-win clash otherwise our chance of making the finals this year is pretty much over.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

Matthews was the replacement for Ablett, with Playfair replacing Davis.
Overall, I thought a really disappointing performance after 1/4 time. Looked alright in the 1st term but then were simply second best for the majority of the rest of the game. And like time and time and time and time again in the 3rd term when we got on top we failed to make them pay at all on the scoreboard with some very pathetic shots at goal wasting some big chances to give ourselves a proper shot at the victory.
We do need to make some changes, and sadly after an excellent start to the season, we have again thrown it away and from here even with a reasonable draw for the next 6 weeks its going to be tough work. We desperately need a fit Malceski back as well- I hope he is recovering as well as it has been said as our delivery into the forward 50 is absolutely dreadful unless we kick only to the edge of the 50 which makes the kicks at goal so much more difficult then if we can find marks 25-30 metres out.
Some players really need a jab up the rear end, and some simply arent good enough at the top level anymore. Matthews showed why he hasnt been playing and shouldnt play again and Leo Barry is getting beaten most weeks now and is more of a liability then an asset for the team more often then not.
Overall, another game we quite probably should of won but simply were not good enough across the park."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
