I haven't read the last 9 pages of this thread so I'm probably repeating what others have said. But how completely crap crap crap is the umpiring. It's not so much the ones the Bloos are getting - though the free in front of goal to Fev and the free to Judd that preceded the 50m penalty left a lot to be desired. But if the umpires are going to have to play each and every single minor thing to the Blues, why aren't they giving the Swans the same treatment?
Why do the Blues get twice as long as the Swans to dispose of the ball in a tackle? There were two in the last few minutes where the Blues had an age to get rid of it yet it was called play on. Why didn't MickyO get a 50m penalty when Waite collided with his head well after he'd taken the mark? I don't care if Waite was committed to the contest. He still clattered into his head which was a clear post-mark free. How many times is Jude going to get tackled around the neck at centre bounces before he gets some charity too?
Away from the umpiring, the Blues are using the ball better than the Swans, though our boys have improved a little in that department. Jude's having a pretty good game, Bevo too. And Everitt was just about our best in the first quarter. We desparately need Goodes to find a way to work himself into the game. Maybe put him head to head against Judd because Kirky's struggling with that tag.Comment

With regards to the umpiring, our reputation precedes us. Sure they'll try to be impartial, but it's human nature to have a premeditated view of us a scragging, holding team.
Having said that, hopefully they take a look at the stats at half time and pay us a few cheapies in the 2nd half.Comment

I like what Frawley said at the half-time break. About 13 or 14 of those frees were justifiable. Agree with him about that, unfortunately for us even though the umpiring has been crap, the Blues have been first to the ball so have gotten the frees because of that. Well the majority of them for that reason.
Just wanted to highlight that NOG is playing really well on Walker at the moment. Here's hoping he can continue it in the second half.Comment

We'll see how much the Swans really care in this quater. If we can't beat Carlton then we wont make the 4 and don't deserve to. I already know we wont do any damage against the top 3 in the finals, but it's just a pride thing.
C'mon Swannies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

I think we are clearly being too bevo-centric. He's not our only forward you know.
On the umpiring IMO most of them have been there. Maybe it looks different on tv but here we just look way too slow and indecisive.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

- 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.

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
