Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
Now sitting 3rd not badComment

Saturday confirmed why we were all excited about getting Bradshaw. He really was the difference - it also means there is much less pressure on Jesse to score goals, to take his time and really learn the CHF craft and that we can unblinkingly send Goodesy back into the centre square. What a gift to be presented with a player like that on a platter?
Jude and Kirk must be the meanest partnership since Bodie and Doyle - hope we can squeeze a couple of more years out of those hombres. North fans must hate Kirk - he destroys them every time.
Anyone else think both B2 and ROK might be carrying a little niggle? Both looked proppy at times but maybe that's just old age - I know I can barely get out of bed in the mornings...
Lovely start to the season somewhat tempered with the knowledge that we've beaten 14/15/16 - good news is we play 12 next week!Comment

Oh, and good to see others noting the "unique" umpiring (I like that term) in the 1st half. By the end of the first quarter had pretty much driven my partner, who had dutifully sat next to me on the couch to watch the game, out of the room by my mounting abuse hurled at the screen full of creative ideas on how to kill the umpires along with their families and pets and level their native villages.
Good to see I wasn't just being biased.Comment

I must admit that I forced my better half to watch the Mummy bump at a throw-in that lead to a free kick a few times so that she could share my disdain (and also confirm my theory that it would probably be acceptable in a game of netball).I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Well, what an afternoon. I'm pretty sure thats the first time I've been to Etihad stadium in the afternoon with the roof open, was a different experience.
Got to the ground earlyish, around 1:00pm, met my mates there who told me he had a friend working in the North Melbourne social club(Melbourne Victory rooms on level 1)who would be able to sneak us in through the kitchen(which he did) and got to eat free food and drank free alcohol all day. Was very surprised as I wasn't expecting this until my mate told me when I met him at the ground. Nice.
Anyway, onto the game, thought the first half was an even contest, was also very surprised at how quiet it was seconds after the opening bounce.
Dont get me started on the umpiring. That free that was paid against Mumford in the 1st quarter has to go down as the worst umpiring decision I have ever seen in my history of watching AFL football. My god did I go off at the umpires over this once they showed the replay on the bigscreen( I think the alcohol had something to do with this as I am normally a pretty quiet type at games). Also, can some one tell me, as I have not seen a replay of this, was the free paid against Goodes late in the 1st quarter there. Didnt look like it to me, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, the thing I enjoyed most was Daniel Bradshaw, for years I have admired him when watching Lions games, to finally see a quality full forward tear it up right in front my eyes in the red and white was well worth going on Saturday.
Ended up going to the Collingwood vs Hawthorn game later on that evening....was boring as bat @@@@@.Comment

I flew down for the game and the first thing I noticed was how crap the North supporter base is.
Of the 23000 there, at least 15000 were Sydney fans and of the 8000 odd Roos fans there, half of them left at 3/4 time!
Now, seeing as I drive to all our games, when we are suffering our annual loss to Collingwood, I do tend to creep out 5 or 10 mins early to beat the traffic (and the smart ass comments) if we are 30+ points down, but they were only 3 goals down!Comment

The most shocking part of that is, it seems holding (both players did it) is OK. They were all over each other at times, without penalty.
I also noticed a t a throw in in the 1st Q (i think) Swans FWD pocket, were Seaby couldn't raise his arm high enough to contest the throw as it was being held.Comment

Just watching the replay and can't believe how good Grundy's goal was....I mean Mattner.
That is a pretty funny stuff up by Matt Campbell. That helmut head dark haircut and the nbr 9 they share in common makes telling them apart pretty tricky.Comment

The Winners on Foxtel gave us both mark (White of course) and goal (Goodes surprisingly rather than Grundy or Hannebury) of the round. Wow - when did that last happen?Occupational hazards:

- 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.

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.
