Before plastic seats they had metal bench seating. Some sicko's idea of a cruel joke, given how cold it can get out there.The Sydney chant came through loud and clear on the telly and even the talking heads made a comment about it. I commented earlier about the team going out to the supporters and Rooster's Irish Jig. As funny as it is reading about the Port supporter who lost the plot, worst feeling in the world if you end up in the same situation.
The plastic over the seats at AAMI is a shocker. Does it break down under Port tears?
And yeah, the Swans chants sounded great on TV, loud and clear.Occupational hazards:

Congrats to Swans Crowd at AAMI Stadium
It was great to hear the swans chant go up several times at AAMI. Particularly as it was a third state (ie not NSW or Vic) You would have thought it was local side a couple of times.
I'm not sure how many supporters had travelled from melbourne or sydney but i'm sure that there was a certain amount of SA sydney supporters.
I think it shows that there's a certain about of rusted on bloods supporters now who have spread around the country.
Anyway it sounded a hell of a lot better than the bad old days at the scg when you lucky to get any reaction there but now we have voices around the countryComment

You forgot to mention the final insult to ones posterior person. It was NARROW metal bench, made by pigmies, for the Auskickers. Wondered why all these people were lining up with huge blankets on a sunny afternoon and straps. they tied the blankets down onto the benches......If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Great job JF et al! Wish I'd been there.
Brought back memories of my only attendance of a Port-Swans game at Football Park, which was one of the greatest wins in the club's history on 7th September 2003. At the odds of $7, this was Sydney's Qualifying Final win against the red hot minor Premiers, Port Adelaide.
-Where three key Swan players were all injuried in the second half, (Kennelly, Seymour and someone else i can't remember), leaving only one player on the bench
-Where the Swans had no quality ruckman, (Jason Ball injuring is shoulder in Round 20), resulting in plenty of ruck related free kicks and cheap goals to keep Port unfairly in the game.
-Where SMFC won their first ever VFL/AFL finals game outside Victoria
-Where Brett Kirk became a legend, being knocked down but coming straight back up.Comment

Annoying wasn't it! Generally I've found most umpires are good about not getting suckered in when the opposition holds the ball against the player but it staggers me how umpires can stand 10-15 metres off the contest or on the wrong side and then correctly adjudicate.
Forgot to mention the legend that is A. Goodes being born!Comment

Well done SA fans and the hundreds that travelled, came across so well on TV. I went over to our 08 victory at AAMI, where PA hit the front with a few minutes to go and we fought back with a few late goals. Was brilliant and the atmosphere was great!
Also appreciated seeing the players go up the fans instead of their normal "ten metres away then clap" haha not a big deal, but I think it's generally appreciated by the fans and not a hard thing to do. I notice a few players are doing it more and more at the SCG too.Comment

Yes I am absolutely sure he will get better. I have just finished watching the game and find the Jesse bashing completely bizarre. would like to have played a bit better but he was actually reasonably good. A lot better than Goodes a couple of weeks ago. A lot better than the Port young talls. Will be an All Australian one day and you will be eating humble pie.
And Captain, your references to "just bringing the ball to ground" make you look stupid...watch the game and see all the other good stuff he did. Only a 4/10 I suppose, but lots of mitigating circumstances and absolutely no chance of being dropped.
And the thing about lots of small errors is that oyu only have to improve a tiny bit to have a massively different impact on the game. I deadset cannot believe that Riewolt is doing what he is doing. Seriously 6 weeks ago he would have been dropped from 15 other teams he was so woeful.Last edited by sharp9; 14 June 2010, 08:35 PM."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

- 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.
