Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Just watched the replay - fan-bloody-tastic! I'm officially excited.
Anyone bagging the last qr needs to realise that we had only two on the bench for most of the night.
And I hope the Kennedy-bashers sit down and watch the replay carefully - he was superb.
What's the word on the injury count? A few with sore heads but perhaps only Seaby missing next week? Seaby out, McGlynn in?

I don't want to take this particular rmessage too much to heart but Swantastic, (with all due respect), YOU ARE SOOOOOOO WRONG!!!!!
The win against Brisbane will rank with the club's Kangaroos win in Round 4, 1999, and the Port Adelaide win in the 2003 QF at Football Park, as one of the greatest victories in terms of courage in recent memory.
First, Brisbane are a very good side, (at least top 6) and were virtually full strength
Second, missing from the line up were the Swans' best defender( Craig Bolton), best ruckman (Mark Seaby-reminding me of when Stafford went down in that above 1999 North game), and best small forward (McGlynn)
Third, two of our most experienced, quality players in Ryan O'Keefe and Jude Bolton both suffer concussion injuries during the game.
Fourth, young Hannerbury does his shoulder in the middle of the game
Fifth, Moore and Richards both suffer injuries during the fourth quarter.
In effect we are left with two on the bench most of the night.
No, that was a GREAT win, by a team at capable of anything.Last edited by top40; 2 May 2010, 05:16 AM.Comment

Haven't watched the replay yet but saw most of the 3rd q on justin.tv (which wasn't brought down and had a very watchable stream - maybe the afl recognise that if a game is on free to air then anyone watching a stream is not losing them a single precious dollar!!!)...and am hoping that the Kennedy pushers are right. have been completely underwhelmed with his first 4 games and thought he was very, very lucky to be playing considering the talent we have in the reserves.
I like the comments about the fact that there appear to have been two high quality teams out there....straining at the leash and just occasionally slipping it to pound on a few goals before being stuffed back in the bag.
Haven't seen the Saints/Dogs either but there would have to be an inkling that the premiers might come from the more dangerous teams stringing it together (Swans/Lions/Pies/Cats/Blues) rather than the dour ones managing to "manage" the opposition into scoring less than them (Saints/Dogs).
Hope so anyways....tops for another week probably!"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

Very courageous win. Shame about Seaby and Hannerbery in particular, but very gutsy
Mumford & Kennedy's best game. Jack, O'keefe & Bolton were very good, Shaw at times
No one will remember Malcolm Blight's goal after Bradshaw's. Our injury list is appalling this year, McGlynn, Bird, C Bolton all out, looks like Seaby, maybe Hannerbery to follow - hoping the shoulder isn't bad. Malceski's third quarter mark was excellent
It was really good to see the players resolve under so much pressure, some guys struggled on the night but really stuck at their tasksYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory!

I want to get in at this stage and give a wrap to Jesse - he is my part time love child so tend to keep an eye on what he is doing off the ball, and it may not have come up on the tv. He worked. He is not a great player, but he worked. He blocked, he moved, he balked the opposition, and he rucked to give Mummy a break, and he did it well. He may not get into the scrum play like Jude or move like Peb, but he hovers and darts and is a nuisance to the opposition. Good lad. He improves each week.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I love this guys pace...but I seem to recall on draft night that disposal was an issue...it sure is. Unless he can tighten this up it will diminish his one real asset.
Mumford was magnificent in my view & yes Kennedy did some good stuff in & under...but his kicking is a bit Kirk like.Comment

Great win. Jude is the toughest player in the comp. Gee I love how that bloke plays.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.
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
