Superman still wears Brett Kirk Pyjamas -
it was critical due to the conditions and time coming into 3rd qtr time...anyone who says that the decision did not have some bearing on the result is kidding themselves....when have momentumk and then to be gifted a goal in a match under those conditions...you only have to see the reaction of the blues boys to see...Comment

Jesse was sitting in the right corner at the back being unobtrusively worked on by medicals so that it wouldn't be noted by Carlton. they all do that. Junk time during goal kicking is when they come and go to the max on the bench.
The incompetent twit with, I presume, a gold card membership with Carlton (or perhaps Collingwood) got a bit defensive and wouldn't check the facts of the matter. So to our shock, we lose the momentum, the boys are distracted wondering if they had done something wrong, the staff are going off their heads, and Carlton win. All the interchange steward gets is a loss of one weeks pay. Whooptydo.
Does it make any difference to him if we miss the final eight by a few percentage points? No. It does not make one iota of difference. Does it make a difference to the Swans. By the good Lord it does. And what do the Swans get out of the fiasco? A bloody phone call to say Sorry!!!!! and a reassurance that the Naughty exchange steward gets a week off.
Not good enough. I want to know who he is. I want him outed and the rest of the teams in the AFL warned that this man cannot be trusted with the task of counting up to 4.
Wonder if the afl or the umpires will toss in for a case of beer for the team? you know. just to say oops. one day we will all laugh about this......not.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

well an apology makes it all better......
Theres not much left to sayComment

I wonder if it were a final or even a GF, if an apology would suffice.Comment

Probably not the best time to mention this..but I reckon being the interchange steward would be a mongrel job.
At goal kicking time, the players run on and off the bench at such speed and such seeming chaos,that people can easily become confused. Oh, am i sticking up for this guy?? Nah, but I can almost sympathise.Comment

I suppose the next time one of our players bumps into an umpire, an apology will suffice.Comment

Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

You can't blame the steward for only 17 players being on the field! The stewards call compounded on the initial f__k up of having 5 off the field... He is the goat.
What would happen in a final or GF if the Swans only had 17 on the field? An apology from the bench? The fifth player? We needed extra warm pine due to the rain?
Nothing wrong with 19 on the field against North either in a draw!Comment

Fair enough to show some sympathy, but I don't think its that hard a job.... after all you've only got to count to 4, which really isn't rocket science!
My disappoinment is in that the AFL haven't taken the chance to reconsider the rule.... i.e. to make sure the punishment fits the bill. If a 19th player is directly involved in the play, then fine a 50m penalty and a free kick is more than fair. But if it was like it was on Saturday (i.e. between goals, ball not in play- the 'extra' player never even close to being involved)- how does that warrant anything more than a free kick? What happened on Saturday will quickly be forgotten by all and sundry.... but what if there is a dodgy call that decides a finals game or heaven forbid a grand final."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."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.
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
