Who was on Cooney today?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

Leo had him for awhile in the 2nd quarter when he started to cut loose. Cooney was just too versatile for Leo.
At the time I thought Teddy should have gotten a chance on him, but Conney was taken out of the game around 3 Quarter time.Grandson of South Melbourne legend Keith Schaefer.Comment

Just regarding Leo playing on Welsh, it was so damn confusing at times, because he and Mattner were also alternating on Johnson. So some of the times we couldn't figure out who was on who. So even though Leo did smash Welsh, he wasn't doing a good job on Johnson when he was on him.
Goodes was a head above the rest, so I'm kind of confused as to how the heck he didn't end up on the best list for the Swans.
Also ROK got his career best 32 possessions, at times it didn't seem like he got that many.
Two things I didn't like in the match (excluding the loss itself) which I don't think has been mentioned previously (if it has apologies), but when Bird got smashed and was down, the Bulldogs player that pushed him down afterwards as if he was faking. Personally I wanted to smash him.
Oh and a word to the AFL, yes we know you want to watch the Swans interchange carefully, but did you really have to have 2 people right next to the Swans and only 1 to the Bulldogs for 3 quarters of the match.Comment

Understatement of the year!!
Believe it or not, today was my first time seeing the Dogs play live due to me missing our last few SCG games against them, and I was most impressed. They appear to have worked on their contested game a lot, and, coupled with their excellent disposal and goal-kicking, are going to be a tough proposition for most teams if they play like they did today.
As for the Swans players, well, 'nuff said. Jack is going to be a star, Moore and Teddy were alright I thought, but most of our players just don't seem to be able to think quickly enough. Simply put, we fumbled when they didn't. And boy do they know how to make you pay.Comment

Well, there you go. That's where he did most of the damage though, I guess.
As much as I love ROK, his effort/impact ratio is severely lacking.Grandson of South Melbourne legend Keith Schaefer.Comment

A great start with Seagull on fire up forward, and from there it all goes pear shaped with a fightback to little to late.
Sydney really are lacking a focal point up front, having Monty has a focal point in the forward line is far from ideal.
The Bulldogs were too sharp for Sydney with the ball movement while Sydney looked decidely hesitant.
A decent fight back again from Sydney, but really lost it in the 3rd quarter with some very gettable shots missed and then the Bulldogs move it effortlessly up the other end and kicked truly.Premiers 09,18,33,05

Thing that pissed me off most about that game was they seemed to give up halfway through the final term. Maybe they just realised that it wasn't going to happen for them but the margin was not out of their reach. Even though Goodsey and Mick scored late goals, there didn't seem to be the intensity that I'd have hoped for when the game was still - just - within reach.
Credit to the Dogs though. Apart from their sublime skills, they were tactically very switched on too. They captured the middle of the ground very well when the Swans were in possession, leaving almost no-one on the wings but spreading out to create a very effective zone defence through the middle. I was getting really frustrated with Kennelly not being prepared to go for a dash but I think it was just he realised the middle was too crowded even for him.Comment

Cheer up guys....
We could be as bad as the Fremantle Dockers.
As long as Eddie Barlow and Jarred Moore are in the team, we'll be alright.
So chin up guys, and keep the faith.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.

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 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.
