..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC
Here it is Again! - Huddo SEN -
It has an eerie 2005 feel, the way we played for each other and just kept coming back. Only this time we don't quite have as much experience to pull it off, or any luck with umpires it seems.
I felt really disappointed (Just as I did after the Saints game) but so excited about our young players and the new roles Goodes is playing. If we're not back in the top 8 next year, it'll be a huge suprise to me.Comment

Who would have thought at the end of that awful game against Carlton a few weeks ago that we'd lose to both St Kilda and Geelong by less than a goal. As disappointed as I am that we didnt win, I am also very proud of the team.
We may miss the finals this year, but we'll be the best team not to make the 8.Last edited by cruiser; 16 August 2009, 09:26 AM.Occupational hazards:

Couldn't agree more. And as I said to the bloke sitting next me immediately after the game:
"don't worry too much, we will be in the 8 in 2010, for sure"
I really don't want to dwell too much on this game. However, noting the performance of Gary Ablett Junior, if only Jarrad McViegh had played, I'm sure that his presence would have more than made up the 5 point difference.
Albeit, bear in mind also that unlike the St Kilda game, I sense that the Cats were the slightly better team, and that the 5 point margin may have flattered Sydney just a little because of some wooful goalkicking by Geelong, (witness Varcoe in particular)Comment

Overeating and alcohol help I find. For a bit.
Oh but the anticipation!! So many of the players are kids and they stood up big time. Cheese is melting. But I have found that my opinions are not necessarily those of the coaching staff (withness McVeigh and Reg) so I trust them to know more than I do. Especially in the work in progress that took years and resulted in Lewie, who has to be up there for Most Improved. He has become such a pillar, whodathortit.
Don't think criticism of Leo is fully warranted. He did some amazing things up at the northern end.
Great to see Marty working out the Centre, he has always been a great kick for goal on the run, and proved it again last night. Marty is getting better and better.
Rhyce is now really taking on the sweeping back role. Again a work in progress within the team stucture.
No, I don't think I can be really disappointed. I mean for heavens sake, what is the Cats percentage?
Where are they on the ladder?
Where are we, and how much have we moved up within this year's standards in the last few weeks.
The kids are working well, the unit is coming together, its all about us enjoying (mostly) the ride as being members of the Sydney Swans Football Club. That's what this is all about.

There is someone on the ground last night I would like to give a big thumbs up to. Luke Ablett. He was really injured, bandaged up like a mummy to keep the knee stable, and he came back on, worked and worked. Not saying best on ground. I am saying he stayed in the team and did his best and it wasn't half bad.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I was at that close - another close one slips by. Really good signs for the "rebuilding" process.
I also thought Leo did well. Not a lot of possessions but some really good spoils and pressure. Especially for his first game this year!
LRT had a great game I thought as did Grundy again.
Just seems to take so much effort to get a goal!Comment

Just b een indulging in a bit of Sunday Morning Nothing, watching the game from last night, and I would like to say
Welcome back Bevo. Nice to see you again, tackling, with some return of confidence.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I'm watching it too after some Bill Grainger scrambled eggs....what is really obvious is how important these big games are for the kids. Both Mod and Nick showed some real composure in tight situations. Very impressive.
Corey and Enright really hurt us all game. I find it very hard to watch ballerina pants Hawkins skipping around - he needs a tutu.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.
