I reckon Freo over achieved last year, wouldn't be surpised to see them slide. No Carlton in the 8 ignores the wealth of talent they have.
Footy media pundits make the most stupid observations (or lack of observations) every year, all season. Only a handful really know their stuff, Sheahan, Pickering etc are the best, the worst are not even worth reading or listening to. They often don't have any depth of knowledge to evaluate the team that is likely to take the park, still rating teams on their best 22. Be interesting to see the best 22 that the hacks put up for Sydney, they might find they can't even name 22!
Interesting to see how the AFL captain's rated teams, they actually play against them so know the other teams abilities really well.Comment

AFL 360 had a segment this evening where they spent 60 seconds discussing one specific question on each club. For the Swans, the question was "do they have enough pace to complement their inside grunt". Eventually the panel concluded that with Rohan, Jetta and TDL we did - and David King even mentioned Sumner. But along the way they got a bit bogged down wondering whether Jack was really a slow player.
Both King and McLure (sp?) had the Swans in the lower reaches of their top 8.Comment

I think he's just saying that the loss of the players he mentions is going to make things harder for those who are left.P.Roos previews Round 1.

It is written roughly, but I think Roosy is trying to say that without the experience that has left (who are still good footballers) the young guys wil have a lot of pressure on them?I think they have some good young talent but I was surprised they didn't keep some of the older heads around to help a little bit in the development in the young players. Cameron Bruce is still a very good player, James McDonald is a very good player, I rate Brad Miller highly as well. It puts a lot of pressure on Jack Trengove, Tom Scully and the like

The Daily Telegraph season predictor booklet said that Paul Bevan has something to prove.
No , he does not - unless they mean proving how daft it was to drop him for that Doggies game.
Still , I guess we cannot live in the past and must move forward.
Now , I'm just off to check if the AFL corrected their error in the Round One team lists - we all spotted that the sub-editor failed to include KIRKY , didn't we ?

In round 2, Rohan Connolly tipped against the Swans because Sydney "struggles" at ANZ. In round 3, he thought the Swans would lose because they "struggle to win" at Subiaco.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

From Sydney Swans Facebook.
Kieren Jack hurt his right ankle early Friday night, played out the game but was on crutches later and up all night icing it. He'll have an MRI tomorrow to tell the extent of the injury but it's likely Kizza will miss this week at least. Bradshaw is running and hopes to get back playing in the near future - the medical staff still list him as "indefinite'' so we can't say exactly when.Comment

I see that the Record doesn't rate us either.
From Saturday's edition, in a discussion on how the draw (and especially fixtures against GC) might affect team's chances of qualifying for finals:
"The genuine finals contenders facing the Suns twice in 2011 - Geelong, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Melbourne and the Bulldogs - have...a significant advantage over other contenders such as Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle and Carlton..."
So despite finishing 5th last year and playing credibly against the Dogs in the SF, we're not even a finals contender this year? Yet Adelaide are? Mind you, they've also omitted the Saints who, despite their slow start to the year, only an idiot would count out as finals contenders at this stage.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.

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
