As your post states, we can all be wrong and I've put my hand up in this post about Longmire when I could have quite easily gone to ground. In hindsight my Longmire thread is OTT, but I've been told many times that patience isn't my best quality.
However, I stand by my opinion that there may be better options than LRT and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You'll note that I haven't posted on that topic for a number of weeks now because 1. Too many posters were getting agitated and the posts were degenerating into personal attacks, and 2. He's clearly in the MC's best 22 so no point posting adnauseum about the same issue and causing 1. to occur.
At no point in my posts on this forum have I made any personal attacks on LRT, I've just put forth my opinion on his place in the 22.
I could trawl back through RWO and repost numerous threads with posters calling for Goodes, Bolton, O'Keefe, McVeigh and Grundy among others to be dropped, traded or delisted but I'm more interested in discussing the 2012 Swans rather than trying to belittle or get one up on other postersComment

I have to admit I wasn't a fan of Longmire at all. Some of his early moves stunk of feeling his way but I suppose that is what new coaches do. The Coaching Panel has changed and the roles have also changed so he took some advice on those obviously. It is a more balanced look JL has got this year but he also has a lot of talent to work with, far more than Roos I think. His coaching style is changing bit by bit into something interesting and that bit by bit may have been to bring the older players along slowly. It is harder to change when you have been used to one coaching regime, just ask Nick Reiwoldt.
All in all the coaches have done an excellent job this year and the players are responding. FIRST TO ADMIT I WAS WRONG! But don't count the chickens before they are hatched, we have a premiership to win in the next two years.Comment

Wow I stayed out of that entire thread - I obviously kept quiet as I could see how good a coach he is and foresaw us sitting on top of the ladder in 12 months' time...Comment

Whilst my tone may be a bit less severe than it was a year ago, I still don't like Longmire. I have a right to that opinion. You cannot deny me that right. I cannot deny you your right to call me a dickhead. That call is yours and will stand you in great stead.
He made one redeeming decision at the start of the year - To take a rank-defender mate out of the forwards coaching position. Things haven't improved much. We've just been lucky to be far enough in front to not allow the opposition a sniff on a couple of occasions. Go read the game day threads if you want an idea of what supporters think.
IIRC Eade got us to the finals nearly every year of his tenure ... Doesn't mean we'll do well at that part of the season.
I reserve the right to have my own opinion.
But I still want the team to win the premiership, with or without Longmire.Comment

Woops - sorry John !!!Comment

Ha.
Longmire stays for as long as he wants.
Ye of little faith.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

There was a comment yesterday on radio, by Robert Walls surprisingly, that at this stage of the year horse would have to be the All-Australian Coach of the Year and it would be hard to argue against that. I think people were way too harsh on him last year.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
