In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate. -
Of course it won't, I never said it will. But do you think that players who retire in two years time will not be able to find a job? Seriously, that logic is just ridiculous. Positions appear just as quickly as they are filled, whether Kirk tries to get a job next year or in 3 years won't have an effect on job availability.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Am I the only person here who would like to see Kirky have a go at the WWE. Probably. But wouldn't he make a cool wrestlerYou 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 ZieglerComment

I'd actually be quite pleased to see Kirky head west and coach alongside Sheeds. I want GWS to work, and not just become a massive pit of money an failure (even if they are gonna become a rival and enemy). He's probably got a hell of a footy brain to have been so effective with relatively little natural talent. And of course he's an inspirational leader and role model and I can see him working wonders with a mob of kids like GWS will have.Comment

No way. Kirk should not step one foot inside GWS..not one single foot. He is OUR legend who helped create a culture..the type that will be folklore in 10-20 years and you want him to cross over as soon as he finshes? nope no way...and if they do poach him the swans can GGF!
And really tbh i hope GWS really fails..it's nothing but a scam to ensure the AFL and Andy get their rich pickings. 1 and a bit years out until they are introduced and they have nothing..just a rambling old has been and a corporate logo that reminds me of a re-branded 2WS logo. Trust me once the AFL fill their pockets with the broadcasters money, GWS will be declared a failure or a write off and a melbourne side will be relocated.

riiiiiiiiht - You really need to calm down - it is only footy (when its all said and done) I'm sure Kirk is going to consult you about his life decisions!! hmm yeah nah!No way. Kirk should not step one foot inside GWS..not one single foot. He is OUR legend who helped create a culture..the type that will be folklore in 10-20 years and you want him to cross over as soon as he finshes? nope no way...and if they do poach him the swans can GGF!

If the money is right he is a nut case not to take ion working for Sheeds - it is an opportunity to be involved in the foundation of a new club - GWS are empolying the best people available - Kelly, Harley & Kirk, a pretty good group to have on your coaching staff I would have thought..I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Thats not what i was saying wardy, nice try.
The GWS are creating an artificial environment, they are poaching talent from other clubs and before to long they will make sure they are GWS people first and foremost, ex afl players secondly and if we are lucky ex swans players.
Why is it bad to want that little semblance of loyalty in these corporate times? Why is it such a crime..why cant we say enough is enough we want to keep onto our legends, especially one who created a culutre. I will be more bitter too see Kirk go to GWS than i was with Kelly. Sure Kelly was a great captain who put his head over the ball, but he didn't really bring the values that Brett Kirk has..and people like you are happy enough for it to get pissed away just for the name of friggen progress!
I am sick to death of people thinking that loyalty is a bad bad thing.Comment

I never said that loyalty was a bad thing - loyalty isnt what it was - times have changed - like it or not.
You are obviously a big fan of Kirk, thats great - I'm simply not and never have been. But for you to say "No Way, Kirk should not step one foot inside GWS" thats a bit rich dont you think?? what gives any of us the right to say what he can, can't, should or shouldn't do with his life? That is what I questioned.
If anyone - especially people who I dont know- turned around and told me what to do if I was changing jobs I'd tell them in no uncertain terms to bugger off. Its his decision, not ours and I'm sure (being the intelligent man he is) he and his wife will make the appropriate decisions as to future employment that will suit them.
As for your artificial environment - well so what, they have to start somewhere - time to look outside the square, its going to happen whether we like it or not - it may be successful, it may not. What I'm hopeful is that it expands our game. For those who hope that it fails, seems a bit narrow minded, but each to their own. Kirk, along with Kelly, Harley and of course Sheeds would be a good combination.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

ok you have no respect for kirk, roos and any other player that did their best in your eyes to oust poor little nick davis. I have read your comments plenty of times on here and i know where you stand. You dislike the people that brought in a great culture, because they ousted a lazy undisciplined player. I am not going to argue with you as we have opposite view points and basically i hope people like you move over to GWS.Comment

Re: League Teams rumour
Kirk owes the Swans NOTHING and as far as I'm concerned can do whatever is best for him and his family. If that means he goes GWS or whoever then he has my blessing and knowing the culture of our club he'll have the blessing of the Swans as well.Originally posted by KirkysSocks

No wonder loyalty is dead, with the attitude of some around here. I disagree the swans need to do what ever they can to retain him if he decides to stay in football.Comment

This is a non-argument.
If the Swans want him, they will make him a suitable offer. If there is no budget, or if there are no positions, then he will make whatever decision is necessary to support himself and his family. If that means going to GWS to work as a coach, then so be it. If it means opening up a fish and chip shop next to the SCG, good luck to him.
If he wants to be content with the squillions of dollars he's earnt, fill his swimming pool with $100 notes and have money fights with his kids... again, good luck to him

- 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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
