I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time -

Sry Des, just saw the meet-up part.
I suggest we meet again at the bar behind Aisle 119 (hopefully it will be open this time). I'll be at the ground for gates at 5 and will make my way around to the bar around 6. I reckon Big Al and a few others will front up, so see everybody there.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Yup, got here late last night (wacko cab driver - but that's another story)
Chillin' right now at the Circular Quay, we'll be headed out to catch the ferry shortly, if we can figure out which landing to disembark and which bus (56?) to take from the landing to ANZ.
See you mates there, and go Swans! We'll be the nut jobs from the States jobs wearing the red and white (Hawaiian) Leis.
Be sure to call us out if you see us - we'll be clueless, but it's all fun.
Did I mention Go Swans?Comment

Hope you had fun RY. It was certainly a game and a half.
Sorry you had to endure the train ride from hell on the way back. Remiss of me not to warn you.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Cracker of a game tonight, RY. I hope it was an enjoyable and interesting experience for you.
Diappointing we lost, but that's how it goes. It was actually a hell of an effort against one of the competition's best teams.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

It was great to meet the Random Yank family last night. Aside from not winning you snagged a wonderful game to showcase the unique and incredible game of Aussie Rules.
Note it was only 7 points that stopped you having to relocate permanently to Sydney.
Thanks for the fantastic red and white leis - they are going straight to the pool room and will now make special appearances at each Collingwood game in your honour.
Have a great trip!Comment

Unfortunately didn't get to the game until after (Dane) Swan's opening goal. Who's got the photos of the get together? Random Yank, I think you would have had a fantastic initiation to the great game of Aussie Rules.Run2Live,Live2RunComment

What a Great Time!
Terrible of me to reply so tardy, over a day after our Swans game, and what a time it was!
Almost like a "why you should move to Australia" advert, it was a perfect day (only capped by coming up a few points short - but a great game nonetheless). I will highly recommend others do the same for a taste of local flavor. Great way to meet and spend time with several thousand of your new best friends.
A major shout out to all the Red and White crazies (I mean that most respectfully) who made us feel especially at home, and for all the 'care and feeding' provided. It made for a truly memorable event that we will chat up for quite some time.
When we've mentioned to other locals that we attended footy, we have been asked "who did you cheer for?" and were responded to positively when we answered "the Swans, of course". Funny how going to the game seems to provide instant credibility with locals we've met.
This is such an amazing place, the people are fantastic, and the Red and White crowd was unbelievable. Although perhaps a sin to say so here (anti-trash talk?) the dreaded Woodie Pies (can I say that here?) were decent as well, even if some were dentally challenged (fixed it!).
As a result of everyone's kind efforts at hosting, we feel fully invested as fond advocates of our brothers and sisters down under.
Cheers to you all! You've got much to be proud of and thankful for (not just AC/DC, but that, too). I only hope that you will be treated half as well when you visit the States!Last edited by Random Yank; 27 June 2011, 07:34 AM.Comment

Glad you enjoyed the game, and the day, mate.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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
