We have been absolutely insipid so far. We did ok int he last 10 minutes of the quarter but put nothing on the scoreboard. Melbourne have been good, but its a lot easier to play well when you've got extra maggots playing on your team. The Umpiring has been truly disgraceful so far and is not helping, but we have also been utterly hopeless. McGlynn and Goodes are the only two that are winnign their respective battles imo.
Just hope we can limit the damage and try to make it respectable in the 2nd half. Sad way to celebrate a wonderful servants 250th game."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

That last goal to Jamar was irritating but shows Pyke's inexperience. Marginally better in that quarter but still miles to go, and a few of our players still need to be using the ball much better. Still, it is educational to see who is able to dig in and really lift their game when the chips are down, and in that quarter, McGlynn (goal conversion aside) and Hanners were our real movers. Hanners, in particular, has shown some real class and persistance. Jetta, too, has played with an intensity we've not seen that often from him, and Jesse's going OK as well, given how the ball is coming down towards him.
How on earth was that a 50m penalty against McGlynn. He was in the contest and didn't touch the Melbourne player once the mark was taken. He didn't step over the mark.?????Last edited by liz; 25 July 2010, 03:29 PM.Comment

We r missing any kind of cohesion. We r too slow, too old & too jaded! Last week we beat a team with plenty to play for. Today we can't beat a junior team! Pathetic really. O'Keefe needs to get into the midfield, he's been played forward again. Get Kirkie out of the midfield into the forwardline. Hannaberry to the centre. Jedda on one wing Kennedy the other. Benny McGlinn & O'Keefe changing H/Forward & RR. Got to try thingsComment

This is unwatchable. I've gone back to work and away from the TV.
The umpiring hasn't been good but even if I was umpiring the game we'd still be down by 40. We seem to have gone back a few weeks and are attempting to replicate the second half against the Tigers. Maybe we need to gee ourselves up and don't against the bad team. So we'll flog the Cats, Hawks, Freo and Dogs then lose to the Lions.
Or maybe not.Comment

We more than doubled our score in Q2.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

This umpiring is so disgraceful - but then so are we - God we are slow and clumsy and ineptComment

So I guess Carlton will be bloody close to grabbing our spot on the ladder afterall....sick, pathetic, inexcusable state of affairs....Comment

By the way the central ump overruling the boundry ump on that out pon full when it was a mark to O'Keefe was illegal. The boundry ump has final say on boundry issues. That field ump was 40 metres away.Comment

It has been ordinary all year. There is no consistency across weeks, but even worse there is no consistency throughout games. Like it would not suprise me at all to see the umpiring go all our way in the 2nd half (Hardly expecting it). Its almost like the umpires go out with prepositions about every team. I just want consistency and the rules applied the same each week, and it just does not happen."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Unfortunately not. The Central umpire makes the final call on all decisions - field, boundary and goal. The boundary and goal umpires only advise the field umpire who then makes the decision. He is not obliged to obey their suggestions, but will do unless he has very good reasons not too (closer to the play, for example). This is why the Field Umpire must direct the boundary to throw it in or signal the "all clear" to the goal umpire to stop play.10100111001 ;-)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.
