Anyone but Collingwood in the GF please.Comment

Anyone in a grand final pleaseComment

Collingwood or Geelong I would be extremely pessimistic about facing in the GF. If the cats are able to make the GF they would no doubt be the form side of the competition given the back half of the year they've had. Ironically they can still mathematically miss the finals but they are in way too good a form to lose to the bulldogs.
Hawthorn, depends how we go this weekend.
Any other team and i'd rate our chances very highly, although a decent point is raised re: the kangaroos.Comment

Kangas got thrashed by the Hawks in Round 10. I can't see them beating the Hawks in a final. The Hawks will beat Crows even in Adelaide. The Hawks absolutely killed Adelaide early in the season at the G even though they were not playing that well at the time they brought their 'A' Game especially for the Crows. There is a great deal of hatred at Hawthorn over the first ever Crows game and the embarrassment of that defeat and the Hawks get very geed up Adelaide.
There are some real problems with your scenario. For a start I can't see a young Roos side beating the Cats. Secondly I think the side we really have to beat is Collingwood and if we can't we can't win the Premiership. They are our danger side and quite frankly I would prefer we don't met them in the finals this year. Next year yes but not now. It would be nice for them to end up on the Hawks side of the ledger and get tipped out in two. Frankly I would rather play Adelaide than Collingwood as we know we can beat them we just didn't earlier in the season because we just were short a few players. They are now back and we also have Pykie and they won't match up well on our big men.Last edited by wolftone57; 23 August 2012, 12:14 PM.Comment

Sure. The Roos have found some form but I think you could compare them to our finals campaigns of 2011 and 2010. Not quite up to it when the chips were down. They will probably have to play either Geelong or West Coast in week 1. My money would be on either of those teams irrespective of whether North are home or away. In the unlikely scenario (IMHO) that they get through to semi final week, any one of the top four sides should spank them.Comment

Roos thumped the Cats earlier in the year. Since that game, they've proven to be a very competitive side.
My scenario is just that, a scenario, so there's a bit of optimism involved and my views on how North will go reflects what I think is not out of the question.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

Don't really have a preference as to who we play. I think we're good enough to beat anyone on our day and by the same token, we'll get our pants pulled down if we're a bit off as we really need everyone firing to be a flag chance.Bloods

Happy for the Roos to make it through to play us (Unlikely), they are overrated and will predictably be beaten easily once the finals begin.
This is not to say they haven't improved but they are still a while off being a 'finals' competitive teamComment

W/C are up on collingwood at 1/2 time. If they win than 3rd is the lowest we will finsh the h&a.Comment

First final.. choice of Adelaide or Hawks (MCG), I'd take Adelaide in a shot. IMO Adelaide are tiring badly, and have the whole Tippet drama. Perfect team to meet first up. Should slot into 3rd with Pies loss now. So win or lose next week, we'll meet Adelaide either home or away. Good result.... in a way.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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

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
