How would you get tickets to a trial match? Do you go through tickatek? I would love to see the game live but it is a long way for me from Lilyfield and I don't know where to get tickets.Comment

NSO games were wonderful, but weren't they also 16 a side because of the ground size? If so no way they play a pre-season match there bar a practice match like the old Bombers fixture.
Saturday @ 1 sucks, I was really keen to go and had fingers crossed for exactly that time/location on Sunday but can't make Saturday. BOOOOOOO AFL/WORLD!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

Ahhhhh I think I'll pop over next Saturday. Give it ten minutes to get to the ground, maybe a little more if I dawdle. It takes me about 30-40 min to get to Homebush, and considerably more to get to the SCG, so I have no qualms about rejoicing in a game that's close by
It's actually a nice ground with decent facilities. Much closer to AFL spec size-wise than NSO, so I'm happy with that.
To be fair, it's in Rooty Hill, not Blacktown. They should have called it the Rooty Colosseum. Much more snappy than Blacktown Olympic Park. I assume they will announce ticketing details later, but I would be surprised if members are charged.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

What about Henson Park?Comment

I think the time was made with the following week's game in mind. Try and get it as early as possibleComment

It is if you don't drive. By the way Doonside is not Blacktown but I was referring to the Name of the venue. Doonside is closer to bloody Mt Druitt as I pointed out if you had have read correctly. If you drive it is ok but I don't drive so hence it is a long way by public transport. Why is it a slap in the face do you take these area things that personally? I made the comment based on my location and ease of getting to the ground. SCG, Drummoyne, North Sydney are all easier to get to for me. I was commenting from my standpoint epistemology.Comment

I come from the southern suburbs of Sydney. As the crow flies, the Rooty Hill venue is a fair way away. However, in using the freeways in the south-western metropolitan area of Sydney, it's not a bad drive to get there, very little stress. It is MUCH better than spending over half an hour travelling less than 2Ks in the Moore Park presinct in car park like traffic to get to the SCG. That reminds me of those complainers who hate travelling to Homebush. At least the traffic gettiing there is not NEARLY as bad as travelling to the SCG by car. And Homebush to the public transporters is right next to a railway station, unlike the SCG.Comment

I don't mind going to Homebush to games it is quite easy and the station is close to the ground. But your point about the ease of getting to Doonside/Mt Druitt is floored because you are driving. I am just saying I would have preferred to have the game played closer to my home and in our zone. The Westies are quite happy it is out there as it is easy for them to get to. It will take me an hour and a half by public transport and I don't know how to get to the ground from Doonside Station or how long it will take. We are playing in the Enemies zone where we should be playing in our zone and giving school kids free tickets to try to get more junior comps going in our area.Comment

Would have loved it....only 15min drive away.
However, playing in cricket semi finals on Saturday.Swannies for life!Comment

I might go out and watch the practice game down here between GWS and Richmond... sure to be four men and a dog at the game. And to think just how much money the ACT Government is wasting by giving it to the AFL and GWS for 4 games a year... 3 home premiership games against the crappiest teams they can find and a practice game

Slap in the face was just kidding around, I didn't mean for it to be offensive and I'm sorry if you took it that way.
I know what it's like not to drive and can appreciate it can be a bit of a headache at times, but Lilyfield -> BOP just made me smile because it didn't seem that far to travel for a Saturday afternoon game (even by PT).I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

It is an hour and a half and I wasn't upset I thought you Westies were getting upset LOL. My time these days is very valuable so I try not to go to places that are going to take me a long time to get there. I am back at Uni and it is getting the the crunch end of my degree 2nd & third years this year. Half way through second and start third in Semester Two. Just a bummer for me but I will catch up on my reading on the train and bus.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
