Disappointing game but enjoyed the trip down and got to spend some quality time with some fellow RWO's so the day wasn't a total loss. Highlight was the boundary umpire who participated in a bit of banter with our group. It's nice to see some umpires have a sense of humour.
Here are some photos of the day.

You do realise he's a 21 year old, 21 game midfielder who is leading the club for clearances (both total and average, 33 and 4.7 respectively) and picking up 20 disposals per game at 75% efficiency with just 1.7 clangers per game, which if you take away frees against is just 0.8 per game, right?
If we'd drafted Kennedy, we'd all be lauding him as the next Paul Kelly for @@@@'s sake! He's doing amazingly well.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

The margin was 38 points.
Question: if
1. Craig Bolton,
2. Bradshaw,
3. Mumford,
4. Seaby,
5. McGlynn,
6. Moore,
7. (and we sometimes forget), Bird
ALL had played, fully fit, (and let's add 56 year old Brad Johnson on the Bullies' side to be fair), what would have been the margin?Comment

We squandered goal opportunities to kick through the big sticks. If all those behinds had been goals, we'd all be happy today.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

What's the problem with Ves.Do the selectors know something we don't? We are playing a couple skinny kids who need a lot of gym time to compete.
The match yesterday was CRAPOLA boys.Thank God the Doggies took their foot off the pedal in the last qtr to make our score look a bit more respectable.We can only do what we can with the current available players however.Comment

The worse was Bevan's miss in front at the start of the third quarter. From that terrible miss, (I could have thrown the ball between the big sticks), the Bulldogs then from the backline kicked a goal within 20 seconds. An 11 point turnover. The margin should have been 33 points, (if Bevan kicked this easy shot), but it turned out within seconds to be 44 points.Comment

My day in front of the tv was highlighted by the arrival of the 2yo just before quarter time. That made concentrating on the demolition on tv a little easier to take. We learned the word "kick", and the action as well......
OK, I am not going to read back through 200 posts at this stage, so can anyone tell me - did you guys boo BBB? I did not hear it n the first quarter, and I am very proud of you if you didn't. The crap commentators didn't seem to make a note of it, but I wonder. I was too busy keeping an eye on a chewed apple about to land on my brand new lounge suite to properly concentrate. And I am NOT going to revisit the game.
What's the bet Red Rohan stops putting hsi name up on Roosy's board?
Yes I agree that Jets needs to be 2d for a few weeks.
I have no problem with Pykey in a minor role - ffs (excuse me ladies) he has only played the game of AFL for less than 16 months.......I think he is brilliant within the context.
Kennedy is a keeper - go BSA5! You tell em. The Lurker is doing ok, and will improve.
What on earth would we do at this stage without Jude!
There are a group of players who had been moved back to the 2s, and it is fairly obvious that they were fair calls, but we would have been humiliated without them to back up the team.....yes we are a bit stuffed with depth......but no where near as bad as we have been in the past. And for those calling on TDL, he is not ready yet.....nor is Cuz.....maybe Ves is..but I would be a bit edgy about it.......and those who were called in did what they could with the talent they have, not much spectating here (sorry Cheese, you were not missed).
And I was right about Ray.....he is an *****, but they are running out of senior and even junior umps because we have terrorised them out of the game so what can we do. Bring back Peter Carey!!If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Jarrad McVeigh was terriffic, Jude tried hard, Shaw was good in the junk time stuff but made crucial errors at the beginning when we were vaguely competitive, Smith was terriffic there was one centre clearance he made where he displayed the qualities Liz wrote about him whilst he was in the 2's,,Mattner and Tadhg were ok,but I think Tadhg has wrecked his knee again,Goodsey tried hard and had flashes of brilliance.
The first 10 minutes were terrifffic and if we could have kept that up who knows,but it needed 100% effort with 100% extraction of everyone's talentin unfamiliar positions and that is not humanly possible. So even me the ultimate drama queen is quite philisophical about this game. Thank god it's over."The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment

Lets all not hit the PANIC BUTTON YET.
2 weeks ago many on here were wondering how much we will win a Grand Final by.
We simply must beat Freo this week, Im confident we can turn it around.
Positives :
Not many yesterday, we were so poor.
Jude and Jarred McVeigh,thats about it.
Daniel Currie, TDL and Vespa must be closer
We had a heap of Quality out.
Negatives
Mike Pyke , hopefully 1 more week . Then on ya bike
Henry Playfair
Jesse White
Rhino WTF??
Lewis Jetta : needs a spell now
So it was another bad day in the office, showed up by quality opposition 2 weeks running.
Freo are a good side and we must beat them at the SCG or then we can begin to worry where we are at.

I have only just had a look at the match-day-thread..... Looks like RWO is back to its critical best.
Went to the game yesterday, I'm not going to pick on anybody in particular (apart from some questionable umpiring and the bulldogs supporting Grandma from Sydney who kept sledging my 6yr old with such gems as "our fullback has kicked more goals then your whole team sonny" !!).
Main thing I noticed, White ran his guts out for no apparent gain other than fitness training (he doesn't belong in the ruck... ) the Canuck seemed to spend a lot of time on the bench.
Hannes looks like he has taken that step from kid to "I belong here"
Goodes tried to stamp himself on the game, I have to say I got nostalgic seeing him rucking in some throw in contests right in front of our seats
McVeigh although tagged was very good, as was Kennedy. Kirky went missing, probably to be found in the same "not feeling to flash" place as ROK.
Whatever drives Jude we should DNA sample it and inject it into everybody, although he aint no leading forward option!
Seems that everytime I go to Manuka for a game, Playfair gets a guernsey from out of nowhere.... (Roos/Horse can we please stop that trend!!!)
All in all it was pretty dissappointing, especially following up on last week. The main thing we don't have at the moment is structure, half the blokes are in spots contrary to their primary roles. Seaby, Mummy, Braddy and McGlynn missing makes an amazing difference to the balanced structure that we started with this year.....
BUT... We are playing some very very good teams at the moment who DO HAVE their structures right.
Keep going boys...!!!!"We talked five times. I called him twice, and he called me twice." :confused: :confused: :confused: :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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
