The ludicrous free kick against Leo Barry for making contact with an Eagle player who was standing on the mark when we had possession in the last quarter of the 2005 QF cost us a goal, cost us the game and forced us into a situation where we needed to win 3 games in a row to win the Premiership. Fortunately, the mighty Bloods were up to the task!!!!
For sheer impact on a team's Premiership aspirations, that decision was the worst of all time, although I've got to agree that our treatment by the umps in the 2011 game against Freo was disgraceful. 7 Docker goals from free kicks, wasn't it?Comment

I thought the point called a goal that cost us the 2006 GF was pretty badComment

..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

I call it the "Stenglein decision" and refer to it often to my West Coast mates when they start getting high and mighty. Usually when they start wanking on about how they should have won in 05. I point out to them that if it wasn't for the Stenglein decision they would not have even made the Grand Final. If they had lost the QF they would have had to have played Adelaide in Adelaide. Instead they got another home final which is always heavily in their favour. Was at that game and (except for the result and the joyous relief of the WCE supporters) enjoyed the suffering of the WCE fans for most of the game. It was a game they thought arrogantly they would just waltz in. At the 14 minute mark of the last Q they were @@@@ting themselves, looking at each other with perplexed looks that said "we can't win this". A memory I will never forget. They just couldn't get it through their thick skulls - the easy beats weren't lying down and dying. But unfortunately two things happened - LRT did a dreadful kick that was supposed to go to Benny , the deplorable Hunter marked and goaled and then the "Stenglein decision".Comment

I don't think I've watched that QF replay on DVD since 2005...... but I did watch it to try and see myself in the crowd, had good spot on the boundary for that game.
think I lost my voice from memory.

I like to check for myself in the crowd - but like to vet it before I tell anyone else. For instance, I can clearly be seen in the game against Wet Coke last year at Subiaco turning round late on and giving a gobful to the really annoying west coast fan seated just behind me - thus I haven't told anyone that you can see me in it!
and for the record, I'm in the club of people that have never watched that QF dvd from the victory pack. Can't bring myself to do so. However, before the beginning of the new season, I have little doubt that the other three DVD's will get a run out to get the blood pumping!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I bought the pack from the Swans website late last year and watched every finals game leading to the GF. I was ripe and ready for the GF replay and was enjoying the contest until 1/4 time when the DVD skipped to the very end minute. I tried it on several DVD players and it was the same. I have 3 missing quarters from our Premiership and cant do anything about it!!!

One of my all time favourite signs is "Nick Davis come to save us" - I've only ever seen it at THAT game, and it could not have been more appropriate.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

- 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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
