I have already inked Jude in as CC. Its about time too (she said like she knows what the ptb think!). He is playing like Kirky did. Like it was his last game, every game.
I have a few other types pencilled in too.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Well, I hope you people are voting in the TLM to ensure the right player(s) gets the votes!!

Thanks Wardy! And I concur with Lucky - give it a go. It's comedy gold.
We were like kids in a candy shop pre-game. VW singalong, red noses, clappers, giant glasses, photos taken at the green screen. And then, of course, beer, the grown-up's candy... ;-) Since I was confident of a Swans victory I was keen to make it the BEST GAME EVER. Didn't quite work out on the scoreboard but what a game! Bad luck for those who stayed home nurturing their pessimism... The weather even co-operated and was relatively mild.
Also, do other teams have as much going on around the ground at games? The club seems to do a great job of creating a "game day". I can't remember seeing it in Melbourne or Brisbane but that proves nothing - I am not so likely to be checking out what's being run by the opposition.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

There's some great pictures of free kicks we didn't get on Real Footy.
AFL - Sydney Swans v CollingwoodComment

Sydney's best: 1. Shaw for the damn good job he did sticking to Daisy, 2. Collingwood's fwd line inaccuracy.
Sydney's worst: 1. Jesse White - you know you are in trouble when even Matty Lloyd reckons you are soft, 2. Tadgh Kennelly - one season too long i think....Comment

Gonna have to step in - in defense of J.White.
The call you are refering to is just another example of the failure of Matthew Lloyd as a commentator.
White held the front spot on a strong lead and the ball was kicked behind him. Did all he could, but it just favoured Tarrant.
White gave away his first free on the weekend for unnecessarily throwing off an opponent after claiming a strong contested mark. B.Hall would be proud.
See post #41 in the Kennelly thread for Kennelly comments.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Marty Mattner is the most desperate Swan on our list. Considering the way we play our footy that is quite a statement.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Surprised by those saying this felt like a win. I can draw parallels with the Richmond game earlier in the year. We were "Collingwood" (I feel dirty) on that occasion. We were only close due to their poor performance. A long way to go....but I think we'll get there.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

If Lloyd was refering to that incident then it's a silly statement, he was a FF and would have been livid at that delivery. Goodesy was the one delivering inside 50 to the lead, White had good seperation on Tarrant and a well placed kick should have resulted in a good marking opportunity for him within range- Goodesy propped it and kicked behind White's lead which set it up nicely for Tarrant, it was easy enough to see what happened at distance whilst on the ground, let alone then seeing it on the replay on the big screen.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 timeComment

100% correct.I remember saying "What a shocking delivery.This guy has no luck"Comment

Fantastic effort. Disapointing to come so close and lose.
As far as the idiot squad (umpires) goes that was an absolute disgrace. Obviously the incorrect disposal and HTB rules did not apply to Collingwood because I saw so many instances whan they could have been pin ged ignored and then they get a goal when the ball was clearly over the line. What have we got to do to get a fair go from the maggots. If we ever got a 50/50 call go our way I think I would drop dead on the spot!Red & White forever.Comment

I think Bevo may stay if we keep white
I say this because Bevo gives other key players more game time in their best positions and his delivery to a big target like White is a pretty good kick when he is on song
The danger with Bevo is he has some crazy moments.............yet his mongrel and team flexibility for matchups I thought worked on the weekend
I would like to LJ to continue to fill while AJ is not there.............Teddy speaks alot in the backline.............Grundy doesnt and Kennelly has struggled to chat as much as he has been under the gun and down a little on form...........so in that context I am very impressed with LJ against such a dangerous Forward line rotation such as the Pies
Does everyone else agree that the Pies really struggled to forward press us ??
I thought our strategy of tapping down and using up time in the ruck was great and it frustrated the hell out of the Pies midfield hence starved them of quick break but starved them of pushing us into our backline..........so much was played in the middle of the field compared to what the Pies would be used to every other week !
Very good tactics against a team with two very big targets as well and great players"be tough, only when it gets tough"

I keep looking at a replay of Cloke's final goal.....I don't reckon it was a goal: it looked like it sailed over the big stick. I know it would have been hard not to give it but.......Anthony Rocca was denied a goal against the Lions in a grand final when the goal ump thought it would have hit the big stick.Run2Live,Live2RunComment

- 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.
