Obviously she didn't ask when the season started! I mean she could have moved her wedding to the following weekend! Some people......If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Perhaps the bride made her plans (like myself) assuming the season would start when it was supposed to start, before some genius at AFL HQ decided to stuff us around by making our game a stand alone thereby leaving some dedicated fans unable to attend!
I haven't missed a game the Swans have played in NSW for ten years till this - still mightily peed off!!!!!Comment

You going to a wedding too Jewels?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 thought that it was going to be the following weekend - sadly no - oh well it should be nice, so am off to Peters of Kensington again to buy a present (this is the child of friends of mine - I have never done registry before and I know that they have a taste for the finer things!!!) my 57th wedding, still not my own.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Consistency for whom?
No concern, just a fact. Nothing bizarre at all. Swans have been here since 1992 and have just under 20,000 and GWS have yet to play a game and have 5,000. It should be a concern for the Swans.
I'm glad to have memberships to both Clubs. Will continue to do so and don't care what anyone else thinks.
I love watching Aussie Rules and 19 games in Sydney is perfect. Well 22 would be better.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

Perhaps a mail (male) order husband who has enough brains to open a bottle of wine. There is internet dating and you can play "stalker lotto". That fills in a bit of time between games. Do you remember when I told you about my first internet date? The 10 year old photo's
It's said that marriage is an institution................do you really want to get institutionalised?
I'll give you some Brewongle tips on saving money by not dating. Gives you plenty of money to get Fox Footy Channel.

The girl who has the wedding probably doesn't follow footy if she followed it she would know you never have a wedding in the footy season. Always in the Cricket season as that is easier to catch up on.Comment

I am the proudest Swannies fan around! Only missed 5 home games since they have been in Sydney.
BUT I also love AFL! So this year, on top of my Sydney Swans membership I bought an AFL membership with GWS support. It means I get into their games in Sydney as well as any combination of 40 home and away games when I am in Melbourne to follow the Swannies.
No shame in holding duel memberships...I see it as 1 supporting the Swans and the other as supporting AFL!!
Go Swannies!
Swannies for life!Comment

I have the fox footy channel - and thus far am loving it. Am a mad 360 watcher - I like Gerard, Robbo (he is lovely when he actually smiles) and then every Wednesday I have my Mark McClure so I'm happy.Perhaps a mail (male) order husband who has enough brains to open a bottle of wine.

True the bride isnt a footy person, but the parents know that I am!!!;-) (and its only one game when its all said and done.)
nah have had my share of blind dates,internet dates, doomed relationships, anyway such is life I'm not losing sleep over it. And besides, I am blessed to have some of the most terrific males friend a gal could ever ask for (2 of whom I will be sharing my footy time with in the Brewongle)
I quite like the following:-

I definitely agree with that quote. In 'the old days' people used to stay together simply because of the structural demands of society. The rates of Domestic Violence were far higher due to people being trapped in toxic marriages. Having said that this thread is about the first game and I am very excited about this game. I think it will be a better game than the bookies are predicting. It will be great if we can build a great rivalry from the start. I don't mean a close game necessarily but a very competitive game fought with intense emotion. I think Sheeds will have his mob fired right up to the chimneys for this one and our blokes are going to be keen to teach the newcomer who's boss. BRING IT ON!!!Comment

I predict that we will appreciate their fight up until half time, then their lack of pre-seasons will show as we will finish all over them. Of course, I do have these recurring nightmares about injuries and GWS achieveing above expectations...
And speaking as someone who has been happily married for 15 years (out of a total of 25 - that's not too bad), I have the best of both worlds, including my little packed munchies when I go to the game, etc.

- 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
