He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball) -
Collingwood are totally predictable.

Yes. I agree that Mick's primary motivation is to show that he is a better coach than Buckley, and what a bad decision it was to replace him. I never liked Buckley as a player, although I thought he was a great player, but think he's been first class as a coach and think Collingwood got it right taking him over Malthouse.
And on some of the other ridiculous stuff he spouts about the schedule and standings, Collingwood lost to Hawthorne twice and Carlton twice. Why should they sit ahead of those teams on ladder? Collingwood has had a tough schedule, but they have so many other things in their favour, you just can't take one aspect in isolation and extrapolate a conclusion from that. There are so many different factors that go into making a season.Comment

The current Collingwood list would make Buckenara look good as a coach.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

"Malthouse says Swans are predictable and easy to stop"
Oh yeah, well Matimbo says "Malthouse is predictable and easy to ignore".
I seem to remember him saying earlier in the season something along the lines of Longmire being a nice guy but not likely to achieve anything with the Swans. Now we sit on top of the ladder and he trots out a similar story. He has already been proved wrong. When we win the flag he will say we won't be able to repeat it.
Facts are:
1. We have the 2nd best % in the comp - Mick, this means our average winning margin is right up there so who is it that is finding us easy to stop???
2. We are equal comp leaders with all but 3 games of the season completed - Mick, only four teams have managed to stop us all season
3. We have the #1 defence in the comp - Mick, this means Swans are finding it easiest of all teams at stopping other teams scoring ... perhaps you meant to say this instead???
There is no other team that can boast these three FACTS combinedCIA Agent to Policeman: "Have you ever had anti-terrorist training?"

My favourite Malthouse quote was after the last time the Swans beat Collingwood (June 25, 2005) when he moaned "that the only reason the Swans won was because they kicked more goals". He could have said that about Collingwood after Saturday night. Basically he is never going to recover from the humiliation of being fired despite within a year of his players winner a premiership. Now like the myriad of ex-AFL coaches littering the media, tries to justify his existence with his blowhard comments. At least Denis Pagan had the dignity to leave footy altogether and become a used car dealer.Comment

Yeah - whatever. It came down to the last 30 seconds of the game. So predictable and so easy, Collingwood just wanted to spice it up with a nail-biting finish. Plus the conditions were custom made for Jude Bolton so I think the Pies can count themselves lucky to have gotten away with the win.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

Speaking of favourable draws...how does 14 games at the MCG sound?....Sounds Ironic to me.
Yes I know, they're are the biggest drawing club...but if we are simply talking about "favourable draws" The wobbles is , without doubt,, one of the best.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I love Longmire's response to Malthouse:
"We don't come in here on a Monday, look at Mick Malthouse's comments and throw the world upside down and do the review completely different because of it," he said.
"He's entitled to his opinion and a lot of people think he's right in that and that's fine, it doesn't worry me and it doesn't worry the players."

I don't agree with you about the Resies boys. Jesse had a great game Saturday as did Lambchop, Morton, Spang was pretty good and Walsh did ok. Nipper Gordon was pretty good considering he hasn't had a full game in a couple of weeks. Alex Brown & Campbell Heath were both very good. Heath is looking more like Teddy every day, he looks like him and plays like him. Jack Lynch is fast becoming a very good defender. Dyl did ok but I am a bit sus about Brett Meredith, he is frustrating, he does some really great things then just goes out of the game. He seems to get lost in the play at times. He totally ran past both player and ball at one stage and instead of going back in he just stoppedComment

- 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
