Just back home after a weekend away. What a weekend! Loved the win, loved Kirk raising the team, Goodes lifting for his mate, Micky kicking two goals.
And the Tiges for their grace in the presentation to Magic at the end.
There's a lot to look forward to in the way Goodes passed off to Cheese. He had a shocker so it was great to see Goodes do his best to bring him back into the game, the team and the celebrations - and for Cheese to acknowledge all that with that wry smile.
To top off the weekend, when I got to Mascot on Saturday, all the boys were there waiting for their flights. MO'L was in the Hungry Jack's team and Goodes was over at the Healthy Wok (or something like that). I managed to wish MO'L all the best and he seemed genuinely stunned by all the good wishes he's received. As they walked to the flight a 5yo boy called out "Go Swans". Gotta love this city and this team.Comment

I'll have to take your word for it. He's been worse than ordinary whenever I've seen him play live in Melbourne. Yes he ran hard yesterday, but (repeating myself) he looked like a headless chook not knowing what to do or where to go.
He must save his better performances for the games televised on Fox, which I generally don't get to see.Comment

Totally agree.
He has had some "stats" but that is virtually irrelevant in modern day football if you don't do the hard defensive things. He allows his direct opponent to get easy possessions in contested situations - the key to modern football.
Would not get a run in Ross Lyon's team.
He IS a headless chook who gets some easy link-up possessions and "looks good" in full flight as he has been given an athletic physique... but is not a thinker.
Is still very much a project player with a hell of a lot of improvement required."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.Comment

Had to follow the game on my mobile via the minute by minute commentary service whilst playing golf with my nephew at a promised game at Coffs Harbour. A significant milestone made truly memorable by the team's effort and resolve. Magic will never forget it. Willl watch it when I get home tomorrow.
Bad luck about McVeigh. Should be able to cover him next Sat nite, Cats will getting jittery.

Just watched the end of the game again ... how was Kirky running in for a hug ... for a second there, I'm sure he was going in for the pash!!
Ch7 switches to five minutes of ads just after MickyO finishes talking to the boundary guy who is not Colby, then show 2 seconds of Mick being carried off the gound by his mates.
Then they talk crap for three minutes (except the bit where they say how fabulous Goodesy is) then another five minutes of ads, then half the club song.

CH7 is very good at missing the moment.
When will David Scwarz get Jessie White's name right. 2 games now he has called him Jessie Smith and I reckon once a couple of weeks ago they called Nick White. And did I pick up Jack for Hannebery. And people call for these blokes to give Brownlow votes, strewth.Comment

I will hand one thing to this post, he really does LOOK like a headless chook when he plays. He really doesn't look or move like a footballer. Regardless of whether he's playing well or poorly, he slouches as he runs, tucks his arms up to his chest t-rex style, making him look like the fat kid at school trying to run the 800m race at the school carnival, he's physically as straight as a ruler, with pale, skinny little legs and absolutely no butt, always looks hesitant and like he's about to flinch (whether or not he actually does, he hasn't been recently), and he's ugly as @@@@ to boot.
Cheese needs to have a few words and a few gym sessions with ROK. He's quick, he's tall, he's fit, he's strong, he's a good kick (when he kicks through the ball), and he's not nearly as afraid of the tough stuff as he looks, at least not any more. But he really doesn't look like a footy player. He needs to get to the gym and do some leg weights, squats, work on his core strength and leg power, and most of all, he needs to learn to swagger. So much of this game is psychological. Half the reason Carey was the player he was was because people looked at him, saw his complete confidence in his own ability and disdain for any defender that went near him, and thought "@@@@ this bloke is good". He'd win half the battle before the game had started. I'm not saying Barlow is comparable with Carey, but if he could get a fraction of visual expression of arrogance that a bloke like Carey had, or even ROK, then he might start to cause some concern for his opponents.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

We didn't get any of that from 7 Melb, they finished the broadcast right at the end of the game. Didn't get the interview, didn't get the carry off. But then I was there in person, I'm sure Micky saw me and threw me a kiss and we did get to see him and Kirky at the aftermatch. *Sigh*Just watched the end of the game again ... how was Kirky running in for a hug ... for a second there, I'm sure he was going in for the pash!!

- 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.
