Sorry for using the wrong word, i know on the internet this is a sure way to "win" or "pwn" someone in a debate when things are not going your "way" so very sorry. LOL at your comment regarding the older players being in awe of the 45k there. Really..did we win the flag? when? And i heard today clinton grybas died! WTF??? :0*perpetrated I think you mean. But that is hogwash. Playing in front of a crowd that big after averaging 25,000-30,000 is very daunting. Did you happen to catch the game against Carlton a fortnight ago? Even some of the older guys like Marty and Tadhg seemed somewhat overawed by the 45,000+ fans that were there. Tadhg is a premiership player, but I'm sure you were a fan in 2005, when they were premiers
.
What do you think the blood culture was implemented? To donate blood to the red cross? Sheesh talk about a newbie fan! Again we are not richmond who desperatly need to introduce a finals culture to the club.
Who are you to tell me how to support my team?Comment

If you watched the Carlton game, you would have seen Kennelly and Mattner very much overawed. Especially from the noise of the crowd that was predominantly Blues fans.
Urgh, that Grybas gag was extremely distasteful, Sauce. I'm appreciating this debate, but have some respect, please.
Newbie fan, good one. The Bloods culture is all about effort, playing for your teammates and achieving the ultimate goal through dedication and team work. So basically, that means staying true to the team, does it not? These younger kids need to use that in finals games before they'll be premiers.
I didn't tell you how to support your team. If you read it correctly instead of being in such haste to create witty replies, you would have read that I commented on how you DO support your team. I never TOLD you how to support your team. Score zero for that one, Sauce.
Obviously, you and I are never going to agree, so I'm prepared to move on from that. What I do want to know, though, is your opinion on what you want he club to do. How do you propose we become a top 4 side that you can 'count on' to be a premiership threat without getting finals experience? What is your M.O. in getting us into a top 4 team?Comment

I'm sorry we will play finals and why wouldn't we want to play finals !! We don't tank and hit rock bottom like other pathetic Melbourne clubs , we rebuild a list while saying competitive . Playing finals is better than the alternative just ask some of my mates who are Richmond supportersComment

So let me see if i have sauces view correct...
There should only be a "top 4" finals shootout in a game with 17 teams (18 next year!) because if you aren't in the top 4 then its not worth playing finals football.... The AFL is a greedy money making machine you say? Last i knew, was the AFL is a NOT FOR PROFIT business that re-invests the HUGE amount of money it makes from record ticket sales and tv deals, BACK into the game of AFL in many different ways, the main one being grass roots football.
So do you want that to stop? Do you want the game of AFL to shrink and maybe loose a few interstate teams that can't make the top 4? Do you not want the Swans to get a home final game which gives them A LOT of revenue?
Finals footy (top 8) makes a lot of money for all the teams and players involved, it also give them experience to keep playing well in BIG games. This is a professional sport not country footy, the AFL is a very efficient business and the Swans wouldn't be around any more if there was only a "TOP 4" finals system.... a lot of our fans would have faded away and we probably wouldn't have made it through the dark times of the late 80's and early 90's
If you think that is all incorrect then i'm afraid you wont find many people that will agree with your backwards and negative thoughts.Comment

The boy is a talent, recognised as so by all the best judges in the AFL. Leigh Matthews, Dermie, Dunstall, Malcolm blight, Walls & the list goes on. I think we have unveiled a list of very exciting players this year, LJ, AJ, Parker, young Sumner & I think the list will grow this week as Currie & Nipper (I forgot about him) get a go. Watch out for Lambchop as I think in years to come we are going to have the 2 most dangerous HF's in the game. Yes, Lamb & TDL!(TDL I have orgasms just thinking of the Hawthorn game last yea,sensational).Comment

We are building a side with our experienced players helping to develop the new brigade who will win our premierships. The likes of Teddy, Bolts, Goodsie, LRT, Shawie, Macca, Mal etc might not see another premiership but they will help to develop the players who will. They probably will see it but I am saying that is not a bad thing. The idea of playing finals is to get players used to the pressure of finals footy. It is not the same as minor round and never has been. Play finals one year & get ready for the one weekend in September the nextComment

- 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.
