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 time -
To win against the roos, they need to pull their fingers out and get serious.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Make sure the umpires call Brett Kirk kicks for goal actual goals when they go over the line.
And having no more than 18 players on the pitch kind of helps as well.

Win the contested ball. Get it on our terms and just go in hard. I don't believe Roos would really leave out Vez. Maybe if MOL was there, but yeah put Crouch or Jack on Boomer and glove him, get the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harvey must surely be the reason why Jack got a game. No disrespect to him, he's been more than decent, but in terms of sheer talent and attacking ability Vespa must shade him.
There are other options if he fails (e.g. Crouch) but it's this sort of game that can make a young player's career. Succeed tomorrow night and he'll really start believing he's a 200-gamer. And we'll start believing that we're not a side on the way down.Comment

Ticking all the boxes
Well it took a 1/2 of footy but I think the boys managed to deliver and tick the boxes:
1. Kept Harvey Quiet = tick
2. Baz won against Firrito = tick (and thanks to Laidley for not bringing that match up)
3. We were extremely quick and decisive, instinctive, stay cool, hit targets, handball only to someone in clear space and who is moving not motionless, go down the guts, do they Ablett swerve thing if you're going to carry the ball at all, apply as much scoreboard pressure as possible and tackle till you drop = tick, tick, tick, tick, no tick, tick, no tick, tick, tick. Thank's ROK
4. Start well = no tick
5. Didn't need Lockett, Kelly, Willo, Dunks and Ball - but I think the boys were channelling their spirits = so no tick for that
6. Move the ball quickly to Hall = tick
7. Quell Harvey = tick
8. have LRT stop Hale - kinda/sorta ended up not a key requirement = 1/2 tick
9. Play footy = tick. It's not rocket science - you were right anniswan
10. Play with confidence and kick to advantage = BIG TICK
11. Play better than them = tick (a lot)
12. Not drop Veszpremi = BIG tick
13. Outscore them - you got your wish BMR = tick
14. Not give away so many free kicks in the forward 50 - aside from one slip up - did good = tick
15. As above for defensive 50 - took a little while but got there = so 1/2 tick
16. Pull their fingers out and get serious - yes and yes = tick
17. Play Veszpremi god dammit - See #12 = tick
18. Make umps call Brett Kirk kicks for goal actual goals when they go over the line: tick - no tick = NO SCORE
19. Maximumum of 18 players on the pitch = tick
20. Not let them get the jump on us and silence the crowd = 1/2 tick on that one. Crowd were TOPS!
21. Be first to the ball, and win the clearances = tick tick
22. Remove Ablett and Play Vez FFS = 1/2 tick (worked out good)
23. Definitely play Veszpremi = bold definite tick
24. Win the contested ball, Get it on our terms and just go in hard. Not leave out Vez (but only if MOL available), and put Crouch/Jack on Boomer and glove him = Tick tick tick. Tick. Crouch proved that TWO GLOVES ARE BETTER THAN ONE!
25. Name Vezpa = yah yah yah tick already
26. Harvey was the reason Jack got the game = tick. Started with no tick but I think his performance convinced SimonH that he will be a 200-gamer so I'm giving that a big tick and thumbs up.
So I make it 19 full ticks + 4 1/2 ticks = 21 out of possible 26
I'm giving that a pass and estimate that's a 85th percentile performance in Season 2008 (adjusted for degree of difficulty because it's a final)
GOOD JOB SWANNIES!
Conclusion - a performance to build on. Room for improvement. Form looks good.Comment

- 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.

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
