I notice the usual over rating of Lenny Hayes article has come out. Gerard Healy has pumped his tyres so much one of the truly over rated players.
Really do you ever turn up think "that Lenny Hayes will kill us"
And Michael Crowley do some research before you write an article
Premier ships
Fosdike 1
J Bolton 1

What's the issue with Lenny? He's a fantastic player who balances a load of grunt work with some great touch. He's a Sydney boy too, so whilst I'm sad we missed him, it's good to see he's had such an illustrious career. It's also great to see him return so well from his knee injury. Good luck to him...Comment

Imagine if we could have had Lenny and Kirk in the same side, where is this article, I'd like to read it, probably more about the way he has come back from the reco, if it says he's harder at the ball than Jude or more skilful or faster than fossie, there will be a problemYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

After 249 games, time to reflect on twist of fate that took Sydneysider Hayes to Saints
Found it. Our premiership in 1996?????? Fossie was no star????? well was to me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, who was to know Fitzy would break down, still, you would have thought they'd take the Sydney boy just for the exposure if he was top ten quality, which it seems he wasYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

Yeah i had to do a double look on my ipad this morning reading that article. Cool so we won the 1996 flag and Fossie was a star that day.
I like it when the stupid idiots down here re-write history that favours us.Comment

Agreed , to write an article that says that the selection committee werent going to be swung by bias to NSW players is actually very dissapointing, they should have been biased if all four players were considered to be in the same talent range (ie top twenty picks). While I love both Bolton and Fosdike we would have been served no less by Hayes and McVeigh and it would have showed some sort of committment to growing home state talent. Maybe the recruiters were hoping that there would be a "go home" factor with these guys as they had previously seen with the likes of Rocca, Grant , gasper and co.Comment

At the end of the day Fossie and Jude both have a premiership medal and Lenny doesn't. So FAIL article.
Celebrate his career not play sliding doors.Comment

Not sure what's disappointing to you? The article? or the theory behind the ultimate selections?
IF they rated 2 players of equal ability, by all means go for the home grown product, but if they rated Fossie and Bolton above the other 2, even if just a smidgen, they should select those players.
Whilst it makes a nice story when a Sydney boy makes good, 99.9% of fans do not give a flying where the boys come from, as long as they are the best and wear the red and white with pride.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

- 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
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
