The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face. -

Considering we are picking our best 22 from a pool of 29 rather than 38 Bev is in the 22. He goes hard at it, that's good enuf for me

Can't be bothered quoting, because it's been brought up numerous times, but to those, particularly Connolly, who defend Bevo by saying that he never stopped trying, I couldn't agree more that he never stopped trying, but that doesn't make his game any less of a shocker. Credit to his character (which I've never doubted), but that doesn't change the fact that his performance was horrible.
I like Bevo as a player, I reckon he's definitely in our best 22 (wasn't so sure at the start of last year, in fact I admit I remember calling for his head), and the fact that he never gives up is a big reason for that, but he had an absolute shocker against Geelong, and there is absolutely no denying that. He isn't the reason we lost. It doesn't make him a dud player. Even superstars have shockers occasionally. He'll move on from it, and so should we, but there's no use making excuses for him.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Well why was Bolton moved off Johnston at the 20 minute mark of the first quarter? While the thinking music is playing perhaps you can also consider that Bevo was moved onto a bigger opponent who was in red hot form after pantsing the captain and our number one defender. Bevan did not have four goals kicked on him in a quarter. One goal by Stokes which he is being held responsible occured while he was playing on the forward line!Bevo bandwagon driverComment

I think the word shocker has been thrown around like it's the new hip thing in town, all the kids are sayin it.Comment

I am not making excuses he was beaten on a number of occasions. I do object to the perjorative of "shocker". The real shockers were played by those players that went missing or turned it up after the Cats got on top in the second quarter and were beaten pointless in contested possessions. I think we know who they were.Bevo bandwagon driverComment
-
One Johnston goal came directly from a Bolton mistake. Stokes beat Bolton for one of his goals and one came from a turnover from a Bevo pass where no one had dropped back to cover Stokes. If a defender goes forward you would expect your team mates to pick up a loose man.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

actually i don't think that is quite right - bevan sought to pass to jolly and stokes was chasing bevan but ran past him and when the ball spilled (because bevan sought to pass the ball to the centre circles to jolly with three geelong players within 5 metres - which we have already done and you and i have different views about) was still running towards goal while bevan was (perhaps justifiably) ball watching or running to where he kicked it (which is also perhaps justifiable) - by the time bevan turned stokes had 15 metres on him and he wasn't going to get that back.Comment

Can someone start "The Connolly is right and everyone else is wrong thread" please? We need somewhere where he can post all day about how great Bevan is and give the rest of us some peace.
Seriously, 13 @@@@ing pages of what???? Haven't you all learnt by now arguing with Connolly is like trying to reason with a screaming 4yo with ADD in the lollies section of Woollies as to why he/she can't have a can of Red Bull and a Mars bar??? Sure you need to teach the child but in the end, a slap on the ass is the only real solution. He's NEVER EVER going to admit that Bevo had a shocker even if everyone else agrees that Bevo is a gutsy player and deserves his spot in the team. It's beyond his capability of reasoning.
Get over it, move on.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.

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.
