Superman still wears Brett Kirk Pyjamas -
I have been thinking the same thing of late, not to say that Paul is a bad coach per se (well, it's not relevant for this point!) but I do think he's clutching at straws a bit of late. To suggest that you can't swing the axe because the guys in the magoos aren't trying hard enough is a bit of a laugh, to me.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Pointless rant. Helps no one.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

It is going to be interesting what he says if we get flogged this week. Shaw is a liability at the moment & can't seem to get dropped. according to a couple of people I know Rohan is playing quite well in the reserves. There are others who are putting in week in week out but don't get a mention in despatches by Roos ie; Reid! roos's game plan is past history (strangle them & hope they @@@@@@ up & flood way back) look how good that worked for Carlton! We are playing the Hawks this week & they r going to be pissed off at losing last week. Look what happened in Hobart after a draw a 76 pt thumping. Don't blame your young players Roosy, blame yourself for not getting players like Leo Barry, Micky O, Paul Kelly etc around the club to instil that Blood spirit into the youngsters. Don't be a poor tradie & blame your tools Roosy look at developing the right attitude via club legends & ex-players like Leo & Co. These lads are just developing & looking for guidance & maybe some of the people you hired as Coaching Staff aren't doing the job the right way. It is not up to the youth to independently develop the right attitude it is up to your staff to instil the right attitude into them and help them to develop it. it makes me angry to hear a once very player oriented coach turning on the future of the football club & blaming them for his own deficiencies. Maybe you are too old & staid to coach at this level & even though Leigh Matthews is oldere than you he at least seems to appreciate young talent & how to develop it. I also forget you never really developed anyone did you, that's right Rocket developed them & you made them better.Comment

I don't mean to be disrespectful to Paul as the guy is a legend but blaming the reserve players for not doing what they are told and giving that as a reason for non selection is pathetic. Stop trying to regiment brash young men who CAN play into a boring stereotype mould that is now outdated and surpassed by other teams.Just give them a game for @@@@ sake! Obviously they will learn far more effectively by playing because the coaches havent been able to get them to learn all season.Comment

If the senior team is playing to instruction I'd like to know what the instructions are. All the key defensive stats for the modern game - tackles, tackles in forward 50, oppn goals from rebounds - we rank just about at the bottom of the AFL. (I can't locate the stats anywhere but it was a point of discussion on Fox recently). There doesn't seem to be any accountability for seniors players yet the reserves are slammed publicly for their effort.
There is a premium placed on 'triers' at the club even though their skills make them average AFL players. It may have worked in 2005, it won't win flags in the future unless the AFL suddenly decides to slow the game down to 1990 levels.
Roos will be disappointed he can't do some wheeling and dealing in trade week - Currie for Josh Fraser, Vespremi for Chad Cornes etc."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

agree a repeat of Eade. we will be short of players next year, he drops them after one of 2 games. Look at PV played alright against Port but was dropped the next week. BM played poorly last week but he wasnt on his own ,played Ok the previous games. The kids havent earnt brownie points. Roosey should go now.Comment

As soon as I read this I stopped taking your post seriously. Rohan played his first game in the ressies for 3 weeks last Saturday due to injury. He was short of a gallop and it showed in that match so I would stop taking advice from 'people you know'.
By the way, are you Terry Wallace?Swannies for life!Comment

With the contiued selection of hard-at-it but 'dumb' footballers like Richards, Bevan and Shaw, if I was Vesprimi or Currie I would be very tempted to see what other opportunities are available. Because there does not appear to be may opportunities here."Fredom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one" A.J. Liebling (1960)Comment

I actually can see his point. I mean, aren't we all frustrated with some of the players at present? And am I frustrated with some of the ressies players wondering why they aren't belting down the door? yes...... I may be the one out here, and I don't care, but I am with Roos.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I'm just puzzled why such an article would make it onto the Swans website. Doesn't seem to fit with most of the propaganda on there. It might have worked to fire a few boys up with 10 rounds to go, but I dont see the use of it now. It just makes Roosey seem like an irritated guy watching the days till he's finished and out of here, which I hope isn't the case.
From my reserves watching last week I didn't see a lack of effort from too many guys. Rohan and Heath looked a bit short of a run, and TDL deserves the call-up, but some of the others didnt seem too far off senior selection. Maybe they didn't run the right lines or something. Just seems odd to me....Comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
