[QUOTE=swantastic;444571]it seems in melbourne media that the swans r on the way down and our list is @@@@,QUOTE]
And I think the Swans are starting to prove them right! I don't think theres much talent in the youngesters coming through and I can seriously see us spending many years in the bottom five.
On Mickey great to see him finish out the season, he deserves atleast that one of the true champions of our club!Comment

All good things ...
Thanks Micky for the grit, excitement and, yes, magic you showed us over the years. My personal favourite and a genuine thrill to watch. Best wishes for you, your family and future together.
P.S. Make sure of that 300!He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Pretty emotional press conference.
Micky started to tear up when he spoke of the early days and the homesickness and how his mother insisted he stay in Sydney and make her and the family proud. He got very emotional when he said he believed he had achieved that.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

A champion who deserves the 300 games. To all those who want him replaced for youth, you have got to be kidding.
Firstly a youth policy doesnt just involve putting a whole team of 20 year olds together and hoping for the best . Even the highly youth orientated hawks team from last year had a few older hands amongst them.
Secondly we just dont have any youth available to replace him. Everyones either injured or not developed sufficiently bar a few midfielder types like brabazon or odwyer who it would seem from many reserves reports are not anywhere near suitable to take his role.Comment

Absolutely devastated, this has brought tears to my eyes.
Michael O'Loughlin is one of the absolute greats of the game and will always remain as one of my favourite ever Swans.
Congratulations on a great career, Magic, and I look forward to game 300 and hopefully at least 303 and as many as 307!

Champion player. Sublime skills. You've served the club well Magic. Thanks for some great memories and all the best."My theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity because it's more plentiful than hydrogen" - Frank ZappaComment

Made me very emotional to hear that Mickyo is retiring. Has been a favourite of mine forever. It is such a shame as last season until he got injured he was playing like a young pup. Hopefully they will organise it so he plays his 300 game at home so that all the fans who love him can give him the accolade he deserves. Will be missed big time.Comment
-
agree with all the above.He HAS to get 300 even if he has a niggle here or there.It is a huge + and morale booster for the club and for the youngsters who can say"I played in the saME TEAM AS mAGIC".I favour a youth policy but somethings are more important and this isone of them..besides MOL would still make the current team on merit. His pay out to WCE morons is my favourite of all time!!!! Watching that fat $%^& @@@@ himself was FANTASTIC.Comment

Onya mickey! Ill be there at the G in round 19 for your 300th! Lets hope now the club can win every game for the rest of the year, get into the top 4, get to the grand final and send you out in style! (one can dream cant they

- 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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
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
