Now that was just plain mean. Booo, hiissss.
He may not be faabulous, but he never spectates or distances himself from the action. Give the man credit. He had a rotten preseason with dengi. I consider him to be an active contributer. There are 22 out there with widely varying degrees of talent and application, and not everyone is a Kirky or a McVeigh.

I wish just one of them had been a McVeigh!Now that was just plain mean. Booo, hiissss.

I thought Bevan did well on his return.
We were in with a chance last night, but top-ranked teams usually find a way to win in the close ones.
Overall, I thought we played well for four quarters rather than the usual 2-3 and each week seem to be developing more cohesion within the team. We've had a lot of changes this year and it's taken a while to settle. 2010 is looking good.Comment

Sorry if its been mentioned, but despite a pretty good game in his 250th, Goodes' two turnovers in the final few moments were very costly. Still a great effort from the boys and one that should give us plenty of hope for the future. Hanners is a gun
Also, good returns from Bevan and Barry, no longer the general of our defence but still has amazing courage"In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

Finals is officially dead with St Kilda's loss. Essendon to remain in 8 unless they lose to Fremantle next week.Comment

His work off the ball last night was very good.
He continually provided an outlet up forward, leading wide for teammates, although he was rarely used. This often created room behind him and allowed guys like MOL and White to lead into space.
His hustle to get the ball forward for MOL(?) goal in the last quarter was excellent, taking on 3 Geelong defenders and forcing it to spill free.
He also laid a very, very clever shepherd for Mattners snapped goal in the 3rd. It is barely captured on the TV, but he instantly moved in to take out a Geelong defender when MOL snapped the handball to Mattner. This allowed Mattner to steady and snap. Make no bones about it, without the Ablett move, Mattner would have had his kick smothered or at best a quick wild snap under pressure.
Sometimes players just have way better games than shows up on the TV and Abletts game last night was a perfect example.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Overall a good effort.
The bottom six brigade led by Barlow and Moore continue to let us down and ultimately cost us games and hence finals football in an even comp.
Even Bevan played a good game with no obvious clangers. Brace yourself for a shocker next week.
Leo slotted in nicely after 12 months off and very little preparation. Few players can do that in AFL football. Welcome back General."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

I think comments about Moore's cross-goal pass are a little harsh. If O'Keefe had gone forward to meet the ball then it is likely he would have marked it instead of Corey.Comment

Sideways footy in front of goal tho by LRT and Moore, are they trained to do this? It drives me crazy."He was proud of us when we won and he was still proud of us when we lost' Tami Roos about Paul Sept 06.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.

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.

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
