There was nowhere near the number of stacks on the mill where a team mate jumps on top to hold the ball in and they didn't seem to have to "move the ball on" from on the ground packs, probably because there were less packs.Comment

After having spend months thinking the whole idea was a complete joke, I really started to find myself getting increasingly fascinated by it all, perhaps lured by the prospect of seeing the creme de la creme of the sport in action & not 15 men around the ball the whole time.
I went, I tried, but when it ain't the red & white I just don't care I'm afraid. I got a free ticket in the Dream Team cheer squad so in theory it was no skin off my nose. But people like Hatley wasted $300 + on flights & accom coming from Sydney for the game. I felt sorry for them to be honest.
I came, I went, I tried to get into it, but just couldn't. Had a lot of difficulty recognising any of the non-Swans players, especially in their all-white guernseys (that disturbing showed off Matthew Richardson's disturbing pair of bitch tits!
) The thing was, neither could many other people either as shown by the constant Mexican waves ringing around the ground in the last quarter, even when the result was in doubt.
Full credit to the Crows Supporters Group people who led the "Dream Team!!!" chants. Even if the very thought of that is extremely
I seriously couldn't get motivated about getting really passionate about cheering on a team that meant nothing & we will never see again. The Richmond North Eagles & Freo people around me kind of felt the same. The Victorians at least had something to cheer for. We didn't really.

It was weird having all these different cheer squad people sitting together. It was kinda cliquy actually. Swans people talking to Swans people, the Freo people amongst themselves, the Tigers people behind me swapping biscuits. And Adelaide trying to look important & run everything, with Port tagging behind them like little lapdogs.
I'll be happy to go to the game next week where I'll know what to wear, know how to act, will know what colours I should be brandishing.

Why the need to cheer? Why not just enjoy the football which was sensational.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I agree with you finally Bloods. lol I wasn't sure about this game last night, but throughout the game, I actually enjoyed it.
I thought Brent Harvey was stiff though, not to get the Allan Alyett medal. He was brilliant. So was Peter Burgoyne for the Dream-Team.
Interesting to see that the AFL said it was a success, but hasn't mentioned it would return in the future.Comment

Hmm, then why was I decidedly underwhelmed watching it live?
It was probably the type of match best enjoyed from the couch in your jarmies with a nice cup of coco.

PS:- I noticed the strange habit of having players from the Dream Team making sideways leads from kick-outs. They were all running from side to side in straight lines at the 30-50m mark. And I thought the set-up the Swans had for kick outs was weird?

- 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.

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.
