He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball) -

[QUOTE=gloveski;506420]kennedy was born to play finals he just has that steely resolve about him... [\quote]
He has been playing great all year and was able to keep it going at the higher level that is finals footy.
TDL's tackle is the highlight of the year for me. I should actually say tackle and resulting goal.
Well done to all that trekked out to stadium Australia, the R&W looked great in the crowd. The noise must have been awesome in those final minutes."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

My head is pounding, figuratively and literally.
Kudos to Marty and Mummy - two guys who were significant in lifting the team's intensity in the final quarter. I realise Mattner was beaten by Walker most of the game but he found some clean possession down back in the final quarter when the rest of the team was struggling to pick the thing up.
Kudos to Smiffy (thanks for the prompt Nico) who was sensational all game on Betts.
And biggest kudos of all to TDL. Playing his first AFL final but you wouldn't have known it. How far has he come since that bundle of nerves that debuted a few months ago. Awesome goal that turned out to be the sealer.Comment

That was nice, wasn't it?

A stat they gave on TV is that we have only won 7 third quarters this year. Is that when Roos gives his midfield rotation a breather?Comment

Terrific fightback in the last quarter after we went off the boil in the third, for some reason I kept thinking of the 2005 GF when we went goalless in the third quarter and recovered to win.
It was almost a reprise of that game with Judd playing brilliantly as he so often did in all those Swans-Eagles finals, fitting for Kirk's last final in Sydney. Jack had his colours lowered, but that's ok, Judd was fantastic today and was the main reason the Blues got back into the game. The first half was pretty much the way the Swans have been playing the last four weeks, not sure of the reason for the third-quarter fadeout, it was almost as if the guys needed a reminder that they were playing finals footy as opposed to the H&A stuff, and it certainly seemed to spark them in the last quarter as they just started to get their hands on the footy first again. Hard to say how we will go against the Dogs, the team that loses in Week 1 usually bounces back the next week but they are really struggling, though I think that game will take its toll with only a 6-day break. But Kirk gets another finals game on the MCG!!
Kennedy was simply outstanding today, and I agree with Nico about Kennelly. He had some critical touches in the last and gave us some drive out of defence.
All in all, another great crowd, and great day at the footy!Last edited by Xie Shan; 5 September 2010, 08:14 PM.Comment

I am totally spent after that. I'll be dead set using sign language tomorrow to communicate.
Is it dodgy to have a huge man crush on TDL???..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Just crawling in from the game. Oh ... my ... god/dess/es/Elvis. No voice left, nothing coherent to post. After that nightmare Carlton comeback (can we stop with the third-quarter-naps???), 4th quarter all I could keep chanting was "we can rise to this, we can win this" between screams and everything and what-have-you. You know you've gone feral when, in the closing minutes when it could still have gone either way & I (quite vocally) was fearing Carlton was punching back yet again, a woman from across the aisle reaches over to touch my arm and says "it's okay. There's only 30 seconds left".
TDL is a god in the making. Pre-game I met RWOers in the flesh! who are wonderful. Now I'm going to attempt to find some way to calm down. And then ... begin scheming ways to get to the next round.Last edited by Yuri H; 5 September 2010, 08:19 PM.Comment

Great to prove everyone wrong again. A final win in those circumstances adds so much to our crop of youngsters. Well done boys, that will do me.Comment

Over on BF the Carlton supporters are moaning about the umpires. They reckon they were slaughtered. As I saw it we could have received a few HTB decisions in the last quarter, but the umpires didn't decide the result.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.
