Just finished watching the game. Lost by 1 point to the reigning premiers (and 9-times-in-a-row grand finalists) Centrals, but just a week after losing by 3 points to the perennial wooden spooners, it's pretty frustrating.
Doyle was fine. Particularly worked noticeably hard dropping back in defence. Opponent still got more possessions than him around the ground.
Terlich was completely unsighted for large stretches of the game, but has a fantastic sense of presence and good finishing skill when he does show up.
Flipper was, well, Flipper. As always, missed a couple he should have got. The one he snagged was a ripper though, ball fed out the pack to him, two steps and then bang from a 45 degree angle.
Rowe worked hard, and did some important stuff at times.
Matt Davis is Mr Dependable. Aka Matt Davis.
Centrals have/had 2 Swans, neither of them playing. Andrew Hayes is injured, and Earl Shaw appears to have been struck from their team list, so must have gone somewhere else for 2009. No idea where. Honorary ex-Swan Trent Goodrem also injured.Last edited by SimonH; 8 May 2009, 11:01 PM.Comment

You do realise, cruiser, that I could use my magic powers to just pluck this thread from the stream of history, so it never existed?!
But the stupidity involved in starting a thread with the word 'gloating' in the title after round 1, deserves the punishment it's getting.
Worth noting that very reliable ex-Swan defender Matt Davis badly broke his leg at training last week and the estimate is 10-12 weeks. Get better soon, Matt. We need you. We need anything we can get. Game not on TV so can't report direct observations, but those at the ground said that Terlich committed some of the worst skill errors ever seen on a football field and Phillips is a front-runner. If they hadn't lost the will to live, I'm sure they would have found some mean things to say about Doyle and Rowe as well. It was that sort of night.
Aaron Bruce, unbelievably, missed out on being listed in Eastlake's best players again. Although he did kick 4 goals, and in a 110 point win the competition for the best 6 is always going to be pretty hot.
In addition to those listed in ugg's regular updates, little Willo ran around for Glenelg reserves on Friday. Has played some league this year... but both this and last year, has played a lot of seconds, too. And he's now 23yoa.Comment

The greatest ex-Swan in the whole list (at a stretch, Luffy might be equal) is playing in perhaps the most obscure place.
Daryn Cresswell in Sydney AFL 'Division 1' (in reality, second division) for Manly-Warringah. Most recent match. Sad story in the Tele a few months ago about the personal problems that have befallen him recently. Great that he still hasn't lost his love of the game.
Adam Heuskes playing for the amusingly-named Hornridge in the Woomera & Districts Football League in remote rural SA. And he got a special day out away from the rock-hard ovals, cold nights and hot days when he predictably starred in a rep game against Broken Hill at Footy Park in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago.
Should leave it there for the moment. Could waste a whole day looking up all of the obscure places that ex-Swans now get a kick.
Oh, what the hell, one more (rather more obscure one): Ed Clarke now running around for Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley FL. And is playing well enough to make their rep squad.Comment
-
Wow, now that is obscure.
Found a few more:- Ben Fixter playing for Albury in the Ovens and Murray.
- Adam Prior playing for Wodonga in the Ovens and Murray (and won their B&F last year).
- Luke Vogels playing for East Ringwood in the Easter Football League.
- Earl Shaw playing beside Luffy at UNSW/ES in the SFL.
- Paul Currie (Dan's brother) playing for Eltham in the Northern Football League.
- Guy Campbell playing for Rochester in the Goulburn Valley Football League.
- Brent Piltz playing for Kirk's old club North Albury in the Ovens and Murray
- Ricky Mott playing for Kukerin/Dumbleyong in the Upper Great Southern Football League (WA)
- Daniel Hunt playing for West Perth in the WAFL.

Thanks for the article on Doyle, I enjoyed reading it and I always think back to his second half of the '06 GF against Cox, helped get us back into the game when Jolly was struggling.
Sad way to finish his AFL career but at least he went out on the big stage!Comment

Norwood smacked the EAgles by 75 points on Sat. Only their third win for the year. The Eagles had beaten top dogs Centrals the previous week.
Impressive win, though the ex-Swans didn't seem to do a great deal.
That's Taylor Walker, the young Crow, who kicked 9.
Official Site of the Norwood Football Club - The Redlegs
Best: Cockshell, Walker, Lower, Weatherald, Bown
Goals: Walker 9, Phillips, Thomas 2, Gallagher, Aish, Lower, Rowe, Bartemucci, JackmanThe man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Um, are you sure that's not from last year? Unless Taylor Walker has a clone, it would be a big ask for him to play two games of footy on the weekend?Comment

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.

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.

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.
