2 of 23. He missed the maggot. Why should he retire? The competition rules deal with the infringement. The club should back its players. Our useless president should have been screaming the joint down over the lack of protection that the big bloke gets week after week from the umps. He has landed a zinger on the whiskers of a serial tormentor, missed Wakelin and hit Rutten with the softest jab ever thrown in the history of the sport. And this warrants retirement from a big hearted big man who has never shirked a contest or not played his guts out for the club? Players get suspended for breaches of the rules. Not compulsorarily retired by a bunch of ungrateful snipers (including his captain). How would you deal with Leigh Mathews? He has a criminal conviction for a brutal act of cowardice on a football field. They made him a Legend!Bevo bandwagon driverComment

There is no problem with Barry smacking the odd player around the chops. Consecutive 50?s i have a problem with, that hurts the team, but a suspension here or there is the price you pay when you play on the edge. I wonder how many flags the hawks would have won had they taken the same approach with Brereton? Sacking Barry will not get him on the field any more, lets just enjoy it while we have him.Comment

Great post..
Just a side thought,If Barry played league he`d get a sin bin or penalty on the field and thats it..
Barry plays his heart out for the club ,his team mates......The Coach runs to the media before he even has a word with the big fella...
Don`t read and believe what you see in the papers guys!Comment

Surely Roosy and the leadership group should of fronted the media after the 05 prelim, and questioned Baz's desire to play.
..and then followed it up with forced retirement....The club seems to be struggling with it's own, rather than looking after them.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Hall says quitting the Swans an option!
Well Barry says he is ready to walk to continue his career.
Hall says quitting the Swans an option - RFNews - realfooty.com.au
I wonder how much of this is true. Is Barry trying to scare the Swans into action to keep him? It is getting to the point of no return between the two.
Or do we wish him bon voyage and move on with the list?In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

I wish quitting the Swans was an option for me...make the next 10 years easier to withstand.

I'm so relieved that you have forgiven me - I will sleep better knowing that!
However - did anyone notice on last nights news how the ARU handled sacking Lote Tuquiri?? If John O'Neill is capable of saying those two effective little words "no comment" then why cant Roos and Kirk??? and the more the idiot reporters pressed for answers the firmer O'Neill got - so its not impossible.
But what I am finding puzzling is that some have mentioned that Hall has let Kirky down - does this mean that the Swans it just all about Kirky and how he feels and no one else?I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

After the best footballer of the twentieth century has committed an assault and battery and a head case had been reported on multiple occasions this is how Alan Jeans one of the greatest coaches of the modern era condemned violence in the sport, defended his own integrity but refused to publicly give up one of his players - the AFL Legend.

Basically Jeans said that he instructed his players not to fight, had a responsibility to the game, condemned coaches that used unethical tactics and tried to take advantage of the no fight policy but refused to condemn publicly his players. Hafey did the same. And the game has not changed that much that a coach and captain should hamg a team mate out to dry. They dealt with it behind the dressing shed door.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

Hafey also backed up Jacko even when he was reported too.
Jeans also comes out having a go at the commentators for bringing up the past, the VFL for trying to outlaw the style he has instilled at Hawthorn. Won't be drawn on the incident, just that the integrity of the game is paramount.
Roos could learn a lot about dealing with the press by watching this video, as could Captain Smirk.Does God believe in Atheists?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.
