"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound." -
Our day game winning streak at Homebush remains intact too.
Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Hear hear to all the above, especially the love to TDL. Oh my god, I wanted to jump the fence when he laid that tackle because I knew he would at least kick us a point, but no, he coolly slotted a six pointer and I was leaping for joy and nearly crying at the same time. Spud and co on radio had us run out of petrol tickets early on in the last and I almost agreed with them, but then a few fellas went 'na' and then the gods looked kindly on us and the crowd went ape-@@@@ and we got in front and held on. Have booked flights for next week, can't wait to scream myself silly at the G and live the dream all over again. Our boys did us proud, albeit the hard way!!Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.Comment

I am seriously stuffed.
Up and back in a day, met some from RWO'ers for the first time. Pity couldn't stay longer. One of the best day's I've spent at the footy. Thought we were gone. From where I sat, Kennedy, Smiffy, Pyke & Mumford were easily our best. Teddy went OK, Kennelly worries me, and FFS ROK get yourself fit. He's next to useless out there at the moment.
Voice is gone, the crowd was as loud as you will ever hear in that last quarter.
Looking forward to next week now.
Plane trip back, many very sad blues fans. Suck it up ya cap cheats!!! And, the pilot wouldn't let me hang the scarf out the window. I even mentioned the thread about scarf ettiquete. Some people have no idea

Its 6.23am, and I am still stuffed after getting home, trying to watch the 4th quarter again, and crashing.
Its what I call a seat jump game. Jump up, goal is coming in, jump up, shreeeeek, arms waving, high 10 my mob, more shreeeeek, Syyyydney; my knees are shot. Its been years since we have had a seat jump game. I have no voice. None. Soothing tea is not helping. I feel content.
THAT's what the chant is about Marketing!
And now, Bless Kirky - had heart wobbles when he limped from the ground, felt better when he went into yoga pose.
Big Bless Joey, Blood Brother.
Big Bless Smiffy, No-one is going to call you under-rated, not if they have seen how you play your game.
General Macca was working fearcely - its not all about possessions, its also about organisation, and he is a good general.
Jesse - The Defensive Forward - he earned his keep, and more; he is not the usual forward, he is the bloke who crashes in, bringing the ball to ground and creating opportunities; and that mark! leave him be, he will get better and better.
Mumms - good lad, and his knee is not right yet.
BigMykePyke - every game he does more, something he hasn't done before; keeper.
AND I would like to say a big whoohoo to Hanners and co, who went around to the Carlton boys after the game, and made a point of speaking to the boys sitting on the ground. Well done.
TDL - big smoochie from me. He's one of the blokes Jesse is protecting, and my oh my, ..... and all with those delicate little hands!
Bevo, Ted, massive hard workers for us, its their attitude that matters, especialy when they had been relegated.
Next bit:
To those of you who think we can bring in Benny at this stage; if you saw his face you will know why he isn't playing. there was an interview with him, on the ground, but it carefully showed the left side, not his right side ... It takes longer than 3 weeks to mend a face fracture, even with plates in it........back earth people.Last edited by Primmy; 6 September 2010, 06:44 AM.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I know our midfield will be gun in a few years but yesterday we were smashed in the clearances, any way to fix this?"In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment
-
Wait a few years? As you say, there were large patches where we were dominated but you know, Carlton (and indeed any team we meet in the finals) ain't a half bad midfield.
Fantastic effort yesterday, showed some real ticker when I thought we were doomed. AND I've got a leave pass to get down to Melbourne to see us bully the Dogs. Yeehaa!Comment

People are speculating about whether Hall might get rubbed out for that little jab on O'Brien. (Hopefully not - there wasn't much in it.)
But does anyone think we have anything to worry about? Specifically, might the MRP take offence at Jack lifting Judd up and dumping him into the ground?Comment

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.Comment

You'd like to think there is no case to answer, but you're correct liz to be a teeny bit worried about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kizza had the ball and Judd tackled him. After the whistle was blown for the ball-up, Kizza grabbed the leg of Judd and lifted him up and back slammed him. If that is the case, they may look at it. (Gee, I hope the MRP don't read this board, they mightn't have even seen it...lol)
I reckon Shaun Burgoyne may miss a game or two at the start of next season for his 'Mummy' type tackle on Silvagni.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

- 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.
