As Luffy said (and I did PM him to confirm this for me - thanks Luffy!), someone else originally said it, Barwick has used it a few times, and that was the first time I'd heard it. I thought it was hilarious - and so did the people around me when I repeated it.
Like I said in the thread about "getting rid of leo" ... why would you drop one of the best defenders in the business? He works 10x harder than Dunks ever did and does an incredible job on blokes twice his size. Plus he's probably kicked more career goals than Dunks, but don't quote me
Personally, when he gets the ball and starts ducking and weaving, another grey hair pops out of my temple. It's edge-of-the-seat stuff.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Annie, I enjoy reading your posts and share your unhealthy admiration for Goodes and Magic, but comparing Leo to Dunks is just something I can't tolerate.
Dunks may have kicked like a 3-legged mule, but he knew his limitations and was a rock in defence. Would love to have him in our team right now! (If we could rewind his age)Comment

I was just using Dunks as an example. My favourite games of times past are when Dunks came forward to kick a goal. I used to take bets from the people around me as to whether or not he's kick it - I got a lot of free drinks. (Funny ... I was doing that again last night every time Blind Barry lined up!!)
Leo knows his limitations and is a rock in defence - his ducking and weaving gives me grey hairs. 9 times out of 10 he makes the right decision. There's nothing wrong with our defence now - just like there was nothing wrong with our defence when Dunks and Roosey were playing.
Deadly, it's a totally different game now. If Dunks were playing today, every time the ball got within 30m of him, the whistle would be blown and he'd be pinged for something - plus, I think that in todays game the guys work (read: run) a lot harder and it's an all-round faster game - despite our attempts at creating stoppages at every opportunity.
But yes, I'd love Dunks back. Unfortunately I don't have a time machine and we have to adore who we have now.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Luffy - tell Micky Maclean he is a loser. He is entitled to say whatever he wants about Leo's decision making but referring to him as a junkie is not very nice and i am sure Leo would not appreciate that!!Comment

the bloke on the telly must have said 'its all about hitting the target" at least 1000 times, almost to the point where you could tell when he was gunna say it...Comment

Anyone who complains about the Swans being a 'dour', 'boring', 'drab', 'predictable' side isn't watching Leo Barry enough.
If the name of the game is entertainment, watching him is more white-knuckle than going on the Top Thrill Dragster. If the name of the game is winning, I would rather have him in our back 6 than 90% of defenders in the comp.
Most players get safer and play more within their limitations as they get older. Leo seems to get more adventurous. Watching the Swans will be less fun the day he retires.Comment

I probably took that too far but I work with "so-called junkies" so I am a bit sensitive about that and don't find it humourous at all.Comment
-
Alison I can totally understand your sentiment but the call was "decision making skills of a junkie" which was not actually calling him a junkie at all. I dont think there would be any commentator or supporter of any team that would ever call any player a junkie. It was said as a bit of a laugh. As I said before its not something I would say seeing Leo is a mate but it was said by Mick all in good fun.Comment

Well i love it when he (Leo) just props in one spot with the ball and an opponent half a metre away trying to decide WTF direction to go next, it's hilarious and nerve-wracking and the comment is pretty funny.

- 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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
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.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
