Grundy as the best swan so far?
He seems to be continuing on with the same form as last year and improving."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

nice goal from the outside of McVeigh's boot, but it was really set up by Goodes pushing through the crowd."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

ball use was absolutely horrendous tonight it really hurt us. Kennelley gotta love him but his ball use wasnt up to it tonight.Comment

Just finished on TV. Saints seemed to be a touch sharper and more accurate at goal. Having said that, the umps imo had a disproportionate influence, especially in the last quarter.
Still, lots of promising signs. Our main trouble was our attack on the ball and not pushing forward fast enough. Also it was annoying to see Saints in the clear away from their man - we need to tighten up our defensive play.
Goddard bog imo.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

The Saints are a very fortuitous team, 5 from frees. Quite a few from turnovers.
A very promising start to the season for the Swans.Comment

Back line was better in the last.
It would want to be after the Roos spray. Thought it was Rocket there for a moment.
I think Marty is better when running out of defence.
Took Goodes and Mcveigh a while to get into the game.
But when they did they were all class.
Kennelly got plenty of it but missed his target too many times.
Ruck duo seemed to do OK.
Need to hold there marks and kick better. Took Jolly a while to come on in that area too.
WHY wasn't Jetta given some time ion the fwd line. He did his best work up there in the NAB cup.
Did OK, just.
Good to see that not only the same game plen is being used, but the delivery to the forwards is still as awful.
Some good signs, though. Only 8 points down against a one of the top team in the comp.
Lots of improvement to come.
And who's looking forward to Round 2???
It's only the crows in AAMI.Comment

Maybe, just maybe, Roosy is right when he said it would take few weeks for the team to "gel".
I am not to dissappointed with the result.
There were plenty of promising aspects of the game, not the least of which being the we should be able to play a lot better than that."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

All I can say is...
I'm glad I'm not a Saints supporter...Comment

I hate to sound like I'm jumping on the "it's all the umps' fault" thing, but man, there were some dodgy calls there. That said, there were also moments we could've been a little more tight. One more behind-or-bounce-off-the-pole spree of kicks in a row, and I'll ... I'll ... um ... fuss. I was in a housefull of friends having to embarrasingly describe the Swans as 'the team that couldn't kick straight'."
Also hate to do the 'OK. we lost but not too bad' thing - but really, we held our own against St Kilda. A win would've been far sweeter, but ...
Hope Roos is right, and we gel soon.Comment

Yuri H,
I don't think the umps were crap. But it did hurt that the niggly ones against the swans = goals against a side that apparently couldn't miss for most of the game...
It seems to me perfectly reasonable that having that many new comers to the side will require a bit to get used to. When you compare our situation with that of the losing grand finalists, there seems to be a very good reason for the Swans and their supporters to be really happy and not much of a reason for the Saints or their fans to feel comfortable.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
