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. -
Good luck to Cuz and the Tigers and congratulations to Kevin Sheedy for going into bat for Cuz so heavily. Like he says, everyone deserves a second chance."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

1st in my fantasy team..
I was lsitening to Pert radio this week and a lot of weagles fans were saying they would be prepared to tear up their eagles memberships and follow the tiges....
its sad that we as a society praise those in normal circles for trying to turn their life around, yet if they are a celeb or sports star its unforgivable, like somehow they are immuned to lifes pressures...Comment

The Swans give you a lot of highs, for example:
*when we come back from nowhere in the last few seconds to win after playing crap all game;
*when Goodes runs absolutely brilliantly through the midfield and then kicks the goal;
*Kirk tackling himself into the ground;
*when Bazza has a half decent game, takes a mark (contested or not) kicks a couple of goals and doesn't break anyone's face.
But bloody hell what I would have done for the buzz of Cousins being in the team. Would have made what could be a relatively tough season very exciting.
Looks like the Richmond fans will get that feeling instead. Oh well, we'll probably pinch someone in the next few years with all that freed up salary cap. Have to have a look at who isn't signed up for the long haul in other clubs.Comment

We are almost there! Only a few days and this thread will finally die!
Picking up Cousins is going to win the Tiges a flag- give me a break!! They have far bigger problems in their team that can't be solved by one recruitment. No doubt it will help them, but they are still nothing but a mediocre mid table team!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

This bull-dust put out by Richmond that this is not about the Richmond club but about giving a bloke a second chance is vomitous! It has NOTHING to do with giving him a second chance and EVERYTHING to do with Richmond. If the player was someone like a Jeremy Humm or even a Rohan Jones then there'd be no interest at all in second chances. At least be honest Richmond, you are recruiting him because he can play. Come out and say that and you'd generate a little bit of credibility.
And let's stop this crap (even on this message board) about a second chance. He's had a heap of chances. The Eagles must have given him half a dozen that we even know about! And why? Because he can play! So what must the Eagles have known to have cut him and refuse to entertain taking him back? I suggest a lot that will never see the light of day (not unlike the report on the WCE). He's a drug attic who cavorts with the underworld and flaunts this image he thinks he has of being somehow an infamous rebel. He's smug and self focussed, shows no contrition and gives little respect to serious drug testing. I'd prefer someone like Luke Vogels to get a second chance. At least he earned it!Last edited by The Big Cat; 12 December 2008, 07:29 PM.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Who cares..
Nothing wrong with Vogels he didn't get enough in the firsts but I would still prefer to have a chance on a bloke with proven ability to put my team in contention for a flag. He might not be good enough to make the difference in the Tigers but maybe we are a better team and a star could mean the difference. WHO CARES.....YOU TOO would be screaming your lungs out with cousins kicking goals for us. I don't care about second chances here ....he gets the job done or he doesn't. Our loss...Comment

I'd be screaming my lungs out alright and I'd be on the phone to Sydney asking:
(a) How our club had fallen to such desperate depths.
(b) How our club could reward a player whose cheating probably cost our team a back to back flag.
(c) How our total team values had been pitched out the window in pursuit of a possible (and I say possible advisedly) short term gain.
(d) Why we were destroying the respect we have with all groups in the footy community.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

So Cousins has been failing drug tests now? Source?
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

- 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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
