Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09 -
Yeah i have but big deal..he is doing the same things as other 600 footballers are. The media and the die hards are just gushing over it because he is an ex leaguie and anything that sticks it up the NRL is a big win, as much as the diehards down here in victoira scoff with arrogance that its the other way round.
I just giggle at his comment about loving AFL more than NRL and the reaction from the melb afl diehards..he swooned them with that comment. As if he isnt going to say that.Comment

That's the point.
Carey and a fair smattering of other so called experts said the whole exercise was embarrassing, a disgrace, a sideshow and he'd NEVER be any good whilst his asshole pointed to the ground.
Well guess what, he's proved them wrong and good on him.
Of course, it appears people like you won't think he's a success until he wins a Brownlow and being good enough to easily justify a spot in the team on merit is hardly cause for praise. After all "it just proves how much of an easy game rules is really"Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Well what do you think? He is one of the highest paid players in the comp with the lowest set of skills. Of course real legends and real good players of the game who were paid a pittance compared to this guy are going to question everything he does.
If he was on a first year salary of say a 2nd year player OK..but he is not.Comment

I think he has done a great job and the fact that there is plenty of media about him and his game has proven the pay packet has been earnt.
The inflated salary is not being paid for his playing exploits, it's for providing a profile. I'd suggest the level to which he is playing atm is beyond their expectations and they'd be absolutely rapt with the way he is playing and consider it a bonus.
You can disagree with it for sure, no problem with that, but "If he was on a first year salary of say a 2nd year player OK..but he is not. " suggests that you just don't get it...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Yes it was a marketing exercise, yes they paid a premium to get him, money well spent if yr trying to gather a new audience. Second year and has improved out of sight from where he started. By the 2014 season, he'll be hailed as the greatest convert behind Jim Stynes. Have no doubt, once he gets to full AFL aerobic capacity, he will be running rings around some high profile midfielders, and knocking over a few as well. I said at the start of this experiment it would take 4 years to get him up to speed, I'm revising that down to 3.You can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

I get it more than you think you do, its a marketing exercise einstein!
BUT the problem being it's being marketed to the wrong audience..victorians. I mean is the GC abuzz with talk about him? Are non AFL ex pats talking about him..flocking in numbers to see him? What about QLD or Sydney? Nope nothing..and they are the areas they have paid him to promote the game.
Again its getting plenty of exposure in Melbourne. Thats like trying to convince eskimos they need ice!
LOL..no really..LOL!
I love how AFL diehards think..they really are tragic.
Nice respect you have afforded our tadgh there with that pathetic comment.Comment

And now we resume coverage - Jude Bolton on the Game Plan.
We appreciate him, and many others do too.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Personally i was one of Hunts biggest detractors but have to say the form he's showed this year shows that if persisted with he will become an elite player,the way he can get thru traffic and win the hard ball has really impressed me of late.
Anyway how good is Judes dancing,he did seem a bit perplexed at them showing it and even commented that he didnt know how it had made it onto youtube,anyways im sure thats one party any of us would of loved to be at,what a dte awesome all round guy Jude is.In fact when you hear pretty much any player from the swans talk its a real thrill to see what a great affect our club has on these guys.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
