Much as i dislike them, the Weagles did not deserve to lose.
Face it, we got through on guts. But we are at least 30% down on form compared to this time last season.
Horse's selection policy has me baffled at times too. We badly needed a Pyke or a Seaby out there. Big ups to Mummy for a super effort.Sydney Swans - Finals bound in 2011Comment

The fact the the opposition fell over just at the right time helped as well. We wouldn't be having this discussion if we had played the Magpies.
Geelong at home next Saturday night will be a very interesting game now. I still think we would need to improve considerably to win next week.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Oh my what a sweet victory! West coast fans are so abhorrent when en masse- it was a beautiful feeling at the end at subiaco!Again we didn't play well but we had the will to get back into it and win. Oh how I love our team!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

For those complaining about post match analysis on One, they were taking the Fox feed and the coverage was due to end at 11. With the number of stoppages tonight the game obviously rang quite long.
What a gusty win, thought we may have cracked it open with Jude's goal, but then conceding the next 4 had me thinking we would get run over the top of. To turn it around in the last quarter was just sheer commitment and the will to never give up.
Everitt finally showed us what the club saw in him, Rohan was everywhere, Goodesy's clean hands and class shone through at the critical moment, Mummy showed that he is by far the hardest working ruckman in the game - he just NEVER gives up, was good to see Jetta using his pace to advantage - still a way to go for him but a big improvement on the past couple of weeks, the inside midfielders were massive with efforts to lock the ball in, Jesse had his best game in ages, presenting well and converting his opportunities, Ted was superb once he moved onto Lynch - he's stepped up into the B2 role as the backline general.
On the downside, our footskills were poor for most of the game, we weren't too clever for much of the game - players going up for a contest instead of one staying down letting them run away with the spilled ball, and we also lost our feet in contests alot. Thankfully our guts and workrate made up for it.
Now to just have a game where we can sit back and enjoy the last quarter without the result coming right down to the wire...
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Yet another heart-stopper. We're a gutsy team but hopefully our skills improve in coming weeks.
There were a few senior players tonight who were terrible. The backline is a bit of a rabble and needs to be more organised for next week.
Rohan was fantastic as the sub, Goodes helped get us over the line again and like others have said, Everitt really came good at the end.
Longmire is doing a good job. It's not easy to win in Perth.Comment

What a win. I love this club.Comment

O'keefe was ordinary but I'm sure he will bounce back next week he is all quality.
Jetta just doesn't have the desperation in my opinion atm he has pace but doesn't use it enough and doesn't like having a crack in a contested situation.
Lots of room for improvement needed no doubt but well done boys on another gutsy win..............It's just the swans way and I love itComment

- 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.
