Hey S.M.Blood, that is a real shame. There are thousands of you guys down there and you are pretty much ignored by your own media. But is the perceived Swans hate really that bad in Melbourne in general? Is this just a media attitude or is the man on the street a bit more forgiving of the swans?I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell.... Did I mention that I'm stupid?Comment

I don't think there is any particular level of 'hate' for the Swans in Melbourne.Comment

I reckon Gerard Healy is the most controlled media man on the planet, I turned on to "on the Couch" last night..... seriously I reckon he would want to throttle Mike Sheahan most of the time, but goes with the conversation like the impeccable diplomat that he is..... It wouldnt hurt him to even acknowledge that the Swans are a great club... instead NO "Vics was robbed!!!!!""We talked five times. I called him twice, and he called me twice." :confused: :confused: :confused: :D

No agro I don't think we are the most hated, that honor belongs to Collingwood
In fact The Swans are a lot of footy fans 2nd team. It's the damn papers trying to beat things up.
If you can get to see the game on Saturday night on T.V. you will see a lot of RED and WHITE there.Comment

DOH! Of coarse!!!! How could I have been so stoopid? It's good to know we get some respect. How much support do you reckon we would get in Melbourne if it was a Sydney - Collywobble grand final? 50%-50%? The 2005/06 GF crowds seemed mostly red and white, but the the opposition were from way out of town too, so the colour count doesn't kinda count.Last edited by agro; 7 September 2010, 07:08 PM.I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell....

Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon news sells papers. The Age had no shame a couple of weeks ago with 16 pages on Collingwood in one edition, so I heard.
Dead set annoying is that tool Brereton who doesn't rate us and doesn't want to talk about us on SEN. On Monday night 2 Swans supporters rang after 20 minutes of post mortems on Carlton and Brereton just rattled on in his boring know it all manner. When the Swans fans got on he just shut them down with condescending and standover comments. 2 minutes of nothing and only mentioned Mummy, Jack and Pyke. The bloke has no idea of who our players are.
One Swans caller said we had lost our spine early in the season and all he could do was say, "name them" and didn't give the caller a chance to name them. It took Schwarz and Leach in the background to name them. He then said LRT didn't count as he wasn't a top ranked player. He had forgotten Bradshaw, Seaby and Bolton. Dead set flog who spends must of time walking around with his head up his own orafice.Comment

It not just us. A Freo supporter rang SEN on Monday and gave them a serve for not giving Freo any air time or credit. Collingwood supporters blindly believe McGuire and his tirade against us and Brisbane a couple of years back.
The biggest whingers by a country mile on radio are those bleedin' Hawthorn supporters. They are genuinely in denial and believe it is their right to be in the top 4, and can't believe it just didn't happen. They just have the best team and believe me they are crucified by the umpires. Conductor Kennett seems to have them all playing to his tune.Comment

That guy is the classic blonde mulletted alpha male straight out of a 1980s revenge of the nerds movie. I was told by a guy who knew another guy who went out with a girl that was in the same year six class as Brereton's pool cleaner that Brereton is so dumb and sadistic that to punish a fly that had been bugging him he caught it, put it in a jar then got some dog cr@p and started eating it in front of the poor trapped fly just to make it envious.

Thanks Nico I too saw my first game around age 8 Ron Cleg #23 was in his early years of playing then.
I recall my family talking about the so called "Blood Bath" South and Carlton final. Do you remember the so called "Lake Side Premiership" between St Kilda and South? Thats when St Kilda was at the other end of the Albert Park Lake.I lived at 356 Albert Rd so I only had to walk across the road to the South Ground.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.

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.

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.
