Apparently we can't win the flag. In the small rag this morning they had the odds for the flag and we didn't appear. Brisbane and Port are 1000/1 as they can mathematically make the 8, but we simply do not rate.Comment

The AFL media is being made to look like fools atm. This year more than any has proved that there is waaay too many people with media accreditation.
Time for the AFL to stop with this "Jobs for the boys" mentality.Comment

It's all reactionary, someone has a bad game and suddenly is labelled a coward, or a team has a bad game and is gooooooone. They have to write something, and I think the game is changing so fast and different teams are popping up with good wins etc, that the journo's just can't keep upYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

I'm sure i have read this posted before on one of the threads but it still amazes me that the Herald Sun want to have people sign up to their website before they can access all the stories yet if you go via their affiliate paper in Sydney, The Daily Telegraph, you get full access to all stories without having to sign up. That is hilarious. I wonder how many people have signed up and then payed after the 2 month period? I'm assuming though, without having checked, that the Telegraph doesn't have all the stories the Herald Sun does?

Last night on MarnGrook: Gilly explained why the Swans cupboard football would see them beaten at Subiaco . . . . . amazing that some "professionals" still haven't noticed the game plan renovation.Comment

Even in the best of times, Gilly would probably be the last to cotton on to change.Comment

On another matter. Very pleased to open my Age this morning and see two great articles on the Swans (one on Jetts and the other on Teddy) taking up a whole page. Out of the ordinary for a game that is not even being played in Melbourne. I can't see the Jetts article online but here is the Teddy one.
Swans benefit as Richards sizes up situation
I think the lid may come off if we give the Eagles a bit of a touch-up on Sunday (which would not surprise me given their outs).Comment

Swansongster, go to the Teddy posting and you will find ugg's link on Jetts to a west aust paper.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I just listened to Leigh Matthews on afl.com express his bemusement at the Swans being on top of the ladder! According to hiim we are a top 4 or 5 team. I usually like hearing his comments as he can be quite an astute commentator however in this I think he is off the mark.
I can see why he doesn't rate us more highly. We are yet to string together 4 quarters of top 4 football. We are as yet unable to kill off the opposition when we get streets ahead, etc. Where I think he is off the mark is that we have a lot of upside. When Goodes and Mummy get into full stride and Parker gets back in the thick of things we will go up a notch or two. Even if we were to finish 4th or 5th we will still be in with a chance - Leigh Matthews!!
This is a bit off topic but I think TDL should be part of our plan for the finals but how do we fit him in! Would anyone consider McGlynn make way for TDL when Parker gets back in? Parker would provide the extra grunt and TDL has the Xfactor to enhance our forward line.

Went to the North Melbourne vs Carlton game last night, mate of mine bought 'The footy Record', in the section where they review last week's games, for our game against Brisbans, they had picture of Jarred McVeigh handballing during that game and the caption underneath said........."and Mark McVeigh was one of the swans best against the lions last week".
The saga continues......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
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
