Well I have to say I am not surprised we lost, but I am very surprised we got smashed in the contested possession and smashed in the ruck and smashed in the tackle count when the game was alive. Shocking effort really. They got 8 goals in front...then we kicked five then as soon as they decided to play properly again at the beginning of the 4th quarter we did not have a single possession in the forward half till the clock had got down to 15.30."I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

I can't tell you how much I'll be barracking for collingwood next week. Terrible umpiring but terrible terrible supportersComment

watch last week's game against the aints. ditto the skilled stadium game. Maybe the first half against the Lions at the Gabba. 05 Semi against the Cats. 03 quallie against Port. On repeat maybe. Wash the dog or car. Read Bazza's book.
Get Star Wars on blu-ray. Knit. Find the Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double. Stick pins in your Bubbles Chamberlain and Buddy Franklin voodoo dolls. Paint landscapes.
Buy next year's membership. Get ready to do it all again. Love our team. Hope they improve.Comment

Yeah...Magpies to kill this mob....Wipe that smarmy smile off Franklins' dial....most annoying smile since Sumich....Comment

That sickening looking jolt on Franklin's knee was a blessing in disguise for the Hawks, and the milked it all week. I bet they knew he was fine to play by Monday but let the media run with it to take the attention away from their chances.Comment

I hate all the Melbourne centric crap. I wish for all 8 non Victorian teams to finish in the top 8. All the awards commentary and everything favours Vic teamsComment

What amazed me was that this was our only scoring option from pretty early on and yet we chose not to bomb it into the fifty into the pockets and kept getting caught with poor handballs. Longmire should have just said get the thing forward at all costs scramble move it etc. But we kept trying cute finessing footyComment

A few things got us. They started off looking lethargic, got going in the third quarter and fell away in the final. We win only when we give a four quarter effort
Really don't understand the logic of taking Hannebery into this game. They must have known his shoulder would pop out because the ligaments would have stretched.
White and Spanger were both pretty useless. Probably most disappointed was that our inability to shut down Gibson in the first half. Murdered us on the rebound. We did not make him accountable. Definitely missing a smaller forward who can play defensive. Would have preferred to see Parker start on the ground and play that role.
The quality of disposal by hand and foot was the difference tonight. Hawthorn are not perfect but the quality of their disposal is in a different league to us.
Oh, and I am thoroughly sick of not getting 50:50 decisions that could do our way and always having them paid when they can go the other way. The umpiring tonight did us no favours.
Overall, happy with the year. They did really well.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Cats are most deserving team left in it. Class from top to bottom. Entitled to implode after Bomber 'did a Lyon' on em last year. Will also leave us with a feather in the cap at having beaten the premier on their dungheap - a small joy for sure, but one to savour.
Weagles also deserve a big tick - if they could find a way to win wouldn't be all bad. And at least they would be winning this one unassisted by 'rocket fuel'.
Pies don't deserve to win - they've put Mick into an early grave when he was quite convinced he wasn't a corpse. And are now being bloody minded enough to not want him to coach next year - just plain nasty towards someone who has served them so well. With so many clubs in dire need of a decent coach, it will be ridiculous that he doesn't coach somewhere next year.
I guess that is Collingwood being Collingwood - has its mouth stuffed full of lollies and both hands full, but will not let another kid have one - even though they've said they don't want it themselves!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.

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
