You don't see the Irony here?
Everyone is allowed an opinion and should not be banned for expressing it. Some posters drive me nuts on here but as I have stated earlier I will defend their right to express their opinions. Also if you dislike a poster so much then use the Ignore List. (It certainly works for me

Last night was a really good game of football and anyone who doesn't appreciate the contest but just the final score is sadly missing out. I spoke to ORB after the game and we were commenting how gutted we would have been if a win last night meant the difference between finishing 4th or 5th going into the finals. But, win or lose last night I don't think anyone was seriously considering the Swans likely Premiers this year. It was how we went about it that was more important last night (just as it was the week before).
How could you not take pride in the way your players went about it last night? Sure I know they are professionals being paid to do a job - but so are the players of Melbourne and Richmond. The wide perception of the Swans today is a bunch of superannuated former "stars", some very average mid-aged players and a bunch of untalented kids. And there have been many games this year when that seemed a fair assessment. But last night they played a team that still has the chance to be labelled the greatest ever (though I think they won't get there at 25 games to zip) and matched them throughout the game. When a game is decided by less than a kick there is an element of luck involved (think our grand finals). We lost but we got to see a great game and to have a glimpse into a near-future that is looking a lot brighter than it was this time last week.
Proud? You bet. Just as I was proud of Marty's mark earlier in the year even if he then kicked a shocker. And I was astounded and proud that anyone could do what Brett Kirk did in the final quarter of the the 2006 GF - for my team and on my behalf - even though we lost them too. A lot of our younger players served us well last night against a team that should have thrashed us.
I'm proud that my team doesn't seem prepared to languish down the bottom of the ladder, begging of draft picks. And I can't wait to see if we saw the new dawn last night - we'll know better by the end of the season. The loss of our premiership players was meant to condemn us to the wilderness for years - just as the loss of Kelly, Dunkley et al was meant to a few years ago. I'm really proud that no team is going to consider us easy beats in these last games of the year. I hope that the Swans justify that faith - they certainly set a high benchmark last night.

This thread is ever so slowly degenerating into a philosophical slanging match.
My opinion is that the all round effort and execution was of a very high standard. The only minor hiccup was the first 10 mintues of the third quarter where we perhaps took the foot off just a little.
Whether or not last night's performance was a success will, IMO, ultimately be measured by how we perform in our last few games. If we get hammered by the likes of Collingwood and Geelong, then last night's "heroic effort" will be meaningless. If OTOH this spurs us on to play intense, intelligent and relatively skill error-free football in the remaining games then i would think of it as a key milestone in our rebuilding phase and therefore a success.
So first things first - nothing less than a convincing victory against Richmond next week will help mask the pain of last night's defeat and more importantly - give it some meaning.Sydney Swans - Finals bound in 2011Comment

- 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.
