Swans lock in Reid for five
Another classic from The Age. You would have thought that the Giants t-shirt might have been a bit of a hint...Comment

Good to see The Age keeping up the standard!All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

As long as the other Reid stays at the Giants, we're gonna get this constantly from the media.
The day they got rid of the subbies was the day the papers went even further downhill!Comment

Well that is a nice Christmas present for us ORB!!! We ressiewatchers told you from the start that the kid was a keeper. I hadn't quite factored in a five year extension to our prediction..... Nice to know the management are listening to us. Nice to know we know what we are talking about just quietly!
Spoke to the kid at the CC (like talking to a baby giraffe) about the future and what he and the other kids were working towards (can't help it, they may be young men they are still kids to me) and he and they had a plan already. they are clear in their thinking, know what they are doing and how to go about it along with the awareness that they are the future of the Bloods.
Picture this. Future Captains of the Sydney Swans. Sam Reid and Luke Parker. Visually interesting.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Certainly puts to rest the fears a lot of us had that Sammy would want to join his brother at Collingwood. Great day for the club with both re-signings! Go Bloods!Comment

Excellent- that sounds like a shrewdly structured contract. Like everyone else I was very keen to see him signed up for longer, but was also a bit worried that with the crazy dollars getting thrown around at the moment we may have to pay massive overs. 5 years is, arguably, overs in terms of contract length but it doesn't sound as if it is in terms of actual dollars.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

Now to get Ben from Collingwood.Comment

I thought the Swans made a mistake in the way Horse was appointed, but all the things that used to piss me off about Roos he doesn't seem to do. Made the tough calls, gave the youngsters a go and seems a better match day coach.
Considering the age of the group he has - I think it's a great appointment.
AND Go Sammy! So glad GWS didn't get their damned dirty hands on him.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

He doesn't have the longest contract - a two year extension takes him through the next three seasons.
Lyon was signed for four years by the Dockers, while Hird was initially signed for four years by the Bombers (which means his remaining contract is now the same length as Longmire's). Clarkson was also recently re-signed for three years. So Longmire's contract length hardly seems excessive.Comment

That's probably one the reason Horse started calling the shots from the box in 2010 with Roos on the bench.
The extension of the contract proves to me that after a lengthy stint as an assistant and a year as head coach he has the respect of the players, respect of the staff and the respect of the board. He and the all the coaches and recruiters have set us up for a bright future so IMO, the extension was well deserved...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

The only thing John Longmire has done wrong is not DECIDE on a onfield leader.Should have shown more respect to Adam Goodes a legend of the game.It is an embarrassment that our club thinks we need to have co-captains.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.

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
