Longmire won't take us any where, one of those guys who should remain an assistant coach. The only thing different he has done is give LRT a run at full forward
because it was the only spot left. He has played non performers in Jetta and Kennelly for too long. His tactics of playing dry weather footy against Geelong and carlton in
the wedt lost me. Replace him with a Malthouse, or one from outside the club.Comment

It's still baffles me that people want a coach sacked after just 1 year. Especially when the team is inside the 8 (kick straight in 2 of the games and we'd have been talking about home finals now) all the while having to deal with a lack of a power forward and having to blood new players into the side with an eye to the future.
Has he made mistakes?? Of course he has, he's human but the over reaction by some on here is stunning. If we were a top 4 side then I could understand the attitude to where we are but we are not a top 4 side and won't be until the talented youngsters we have at the club develop. (a big bodied forward would also be nice)..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style.

If Malthouse was willing to take any coaching positions it would be worth looking at but he has stated that he will honor his contract with the pies, Jetta is not a non performer he just needs more games and roo's played him more then horse. He is a first year coach and i don't think roo's would knowingly leave us with a spud, Gary Rohan has been injured all year, our first and second b&f of last year have been out with injuries and unable to play due to suspension, this week's performance was unnacceptable but that was clearly a player issue and not a coaching issue, we also had a lot of our best players unable to complete a full pre-season, not to mention the loss of bolton and bradshaw and the money the club had invested in them the past few years, i still see sydney playing finals this year whether it be win or loss i think horse has done quite well for the season he has been dished up.Comment

I listened to Footy Classified on Monday night and for once they actually talked about the Swans for a few moments. In the opinion of Grant Thomas, we 'lacked leadership'. He wasn't talking about Adam Goodes, but Kennelly, Bolton and OKeefe. He suggested that Jude hasn't contributed anything since coming back from injury and that ROK is not playing anywhere near the level we are used to. He thoughts about Kennelly's contributions were about the same as most RWO posters.
His remarks made me think of Mummy and Jack, neither of whom have got back to their best, then there are McVeigh and Malceski down on form, and toss in McGlynn far from his best and Jetta who is more useless than useful, LRT playing out of position, AJ and possibly Reid running out of steam ........ When you take these facts into consideration it helps explain the pathetic game on Sunday!

Don't you think other clubs have exactly the same problems?Someone has made the decision to play Jetta, Kenelly and to put LRT out of position.Someone is responsible for stirring the players up and getting the best out of them.
To me watching AJ miss that gimme goal there are serious warning signs that all is not well in the Swans nest and players are playing nervously and without confidence.Comment

What do we expect from a coach? Here's a take on coaching that 's a good read, funny, and has more than a smidgen of truth about it:
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)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.

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.
