You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -
I'm thoroughly sick of LRT bashers, I'm very much afraid they don't understand the game.
LRT is a very good defender and the only one we have to take on the real talls in opposition sides and he does it with competence. His spoiling is excellent, he takes a good contested mark and he provides run as well.
Get over dwelling on the odd stuff up, every player has them, and take a good look at what he provides positive for the team.
I watch a lot of AFL games, not just ours, and I can say with certainty that LRT would walk into most other teams. I'm really pleased he is a Swan and as stated in a previous post, we would not have won 2005 GF without him, very nearly BOG!Comment

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

I agree with many posters here. LRT was very close to BOG in the 2005 GF. Norm Smith should have gone to him or Foz if it had been fair dinkum.
That stat on our efficiency is extraordinary. Eski's return to form helps. but it's not the only factor obviously. Well done lads!Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

The LRT story is one which will be be cemented in The SWANS folklore of success stories, from his clumsy ugly duckling stage through to the 05 GRANNY, should clearly have won NS medal (Judd was just embarrassed), to his now essential part of the TEAM.
He made one clanger last week, and Tiger just slapped him on the back as if to say, "don't worry cobber, you were instrumental in getting us all a premiership.
HP"He was proud of us when we won and he was still proud of us when we lost' Tami Roos about Paul Sept 06.

I gave up even thinking about LRT-dropping some time in 2006, so it's kinda retro for the topic to arise. Still, very interesting that a fit Ted can't yet force his way in-- I know who I'd back in a one-on-one contest between Ted and LRT to handle the ball cleanly and dispose of it accurately.
Unless vacancies are opened up by injury (heaven forbid) or suspension (heaven forbid even more), it'd be interesting to try a RWO sweep on the next player to be dropped. I vote Jetta with a back-up of Kennedy. For those getting ready to be outraged, try it, I dare ya to have a go yourselves: it's no easy game to play.Comment
-
Agree with Jetta, followed by Mattner.
Further on the Power of LRT - it was only a couple of years ago clubs were deliberately leaving him free wanting him to be the guy who brought the ball out of our defence, and counting on the fact that his disposal would be less than rock solid. I think he's improved his delivery out of sight and except for moments requiring quick thinking I"m quite at ease with the ball being in his hands now.Comment

Not surprised that there is no change after the last two games. ATM I think the only way any of the 2's will get a game is through injury.Red & White forever.Comment

Me too! He is fantastically courageous and tough as but am not missing his turnovers or brain fades where he gets caught HTB 10 metres out. TOT=turnover Ted.is a bit harsh coz he has been and will be no doubt a very useful player and I realise most of his mistakes occur when the centre line is being thrashed and the ball is constantly in our defense which is then under intense pressure.LRT would walk into most sides,Ted...no.Comment

I'm happy for the team to remain unchanged.

- 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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
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.
13) Final decisions
