Here it is Again! - Huddo SEN -
I think having looked at him that it is more a case of also being afraid to move in certain ways. Those are; too quickly, run very fast, kick a long ball (stretches the muscle & tendon), high leaps. He is obviously restricted and also a little afraid of testing it out at the moment just in case it tweaks.Comment

3 superb kicks for goal all from the same pocket.
ROK, Jetta, and McVeigh.
How good were they??Comment

Goodes started horrible again, but eventually played himself into the game.
Best I've seen him play for a while in the 2nd half.Comment

I'm with you Liz. He currently reminds me a little of Mickey O when he first started to lose his pace and distance on his kicks. Once he realised that he'd have to become a different kind of player he was fine. Goodes isn't in that position for good IMO, I think this is something he'll get over for next season, but he needs to manage it better for now.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Agree Scott. I thoughthis first half was lamentable. Poor decision making, some straight dumb play and floaters that achieved nothing. In the 2nd half he was far more positive and appeared to run a lot harder. Maybe he has simply slowed up a bit which brings him back to the field and easier to tag or play on.Comment

On Parker...I thought his first half was rubbish. The group I was with agreed and reckon he has been ordinary the last few weeks. I must say though he really lifted his rating in the second half. He started to find space and was far more effective with his disposals. He ran much harder and dispensed with the stupid nothing handballs that he is prone to dish off. Lets hope it is upward from here in.
By the way did anyone else notice Marty Mattners brainless 10 minutes in the 3rd quarter.Comment

i missed the last 10 minutes and culdn't believe the final score...when i left Bruce was saying the swans will win, but they wont be happy with this sort of win...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the commentators were making my ears bleed...did they ever comment on how well we played the last 2 thirds of the game...seriously the man crush on griffin was ridiculous....
now about the game...
we were well and truly asleep in the 1st...and Roosy made the comment last night, that the 3 teams in the 8 playing today needed to watch all of yesterdays games to show that if you fall asleep there will be an upset and i thought the way we were playing it was on the cards..
The 1 positive about the game is that i the last 2-3 years we would ahve lost that game with the way we started..losing to teams to we should have beaten..what was good about it was we contained them and played back into our strengths...and belted them....some players started to play themselves into some form for next weeks game....no doubt BUDDY will be back....
Well done to Mitch great team goal 1st up..in yrs gone by he would have blasted away...but we need to win 1 of the next 2 to confirm our top 2 spot..the only thing that worries me is that our bogey teams of Adelaide and Collingwood we will have to play in week 1 followed by more than likely against the other in the pre-lim...
I think looking at it..it should be a Hawks, Swans GF...damn better start planning ym trip across the nullarbor...(any road trip pals?????)Comment

Parker was ordinary in the first quarter but he wasn't alone. Agree he improved as the game went on.Comment

Nick Smith played a blinder today too......back to his best.Comment

Agree Scott. AJ is going to be the unsung hero of his day. He just gets to the ball and fixes things. He has his job and he knows what it is.
Parkes worked his way into the game and finished off on a high. As far as I could see. Anyone at the game itself who can comment? I was not sure if Danny and Peb were quite on the states sheet until I looked at my Dream Team points. Honestly, you have to GO to the game to get all the nuances.
Glad Goodsey got his mojo in order. He was sure testing himself out wasn't he. He ran the length of the ground so many times, like a dog off the leash. Especially in the final quarter. Maybe with Sam back and finally MM on he feels ok about leaving the forward area.
Love love love Kizz. And Joey. And Mummy. Smooch. and....all of them.
But I could have murdered the lot of them in the first quarter.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Just off the plane....flew back with about half the squad...they were all pretty upbeat. Bodes well for Saturday.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.
