          I think it was more to do what the players wanted and then the fans, overall, not just 50, that swayed the decision. Plus the reaction of the players at the end of that Richmond game.
          I think you'd be surprised at how much the club actually listens to its members.
          The fans who jumped up and down should take credit. It certainly helped sway the board's decision.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
          Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                Ask anyone in victoria and they have no respect for the 2005 team, some even going as far as saying it was a terrible GF.
                I find it amazing that the swans were considered lucky and only moderately talented. I think that may have been some of the perception of the time BUT I think in hindsight West Coast were the moderately talented and lucky team to have won a premiership at the time. I mean take out Judd and Cousins and they are a shadow of a team. Really except for their very talented midfield and ruck of the time they werent exactly a bunch of superstars yet everyone was saying they were a dynsaty in waiting when hindsight shows they werent even close to that and when they lost Judd and Cousins they were much less competitive than the swans were.

                      Most of us are too busy trying to work out what your previous RWO nic was to offer you respect.

                      You've been here 5 minutes and in those 5 minutes Annie has posted no more than a handful of times, much much much less than her usual contribution.

                      Yet you seem to have strong views on her past contributions to RWO?

                          After 5 years on RWO I got my first warning today(it was a fair cop to be honest). Guess who it was regarding? I'm a big bloody Teddy bear on RWO so you know you must be doing something wrong if you manage to upset me enough that I actually post abuse.

                          (mods: I hope this isn't personal abuse I'd hate 2 warnings on the same day.

                            One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that Roos has also got all the coaches having a go at being on the boundary line. Innovation is his middle name!
