Even Santa follows the Swannies. -
I don't know which one I'm more in shock of. The fact we won yesterday or that the illusive Annie was at my table for the GF Dinner!Comment

We are the Champions My Friends, We'll Keep on Fighting Till the END! How true of our blokes! Let us be humble in victory. The Hawks fans are hurting right now and we all know how that feels, 2006. But I know for one that I am enjoying the moment. I agree it was a year or two ahead of plan. I'm sure the coaches didn't think this would happen at the start of the year, even half way through. I think the players really started to believe when we beat Adelaide so well and spanked Pies! This is HEAVEN!!!!
By the way just want to say all of our players were resplendent but I want to give a few plaudits;
Mikey Pykie; Bloody brilliant good on you boy you were fantastic!
Dan Hannaberry; What courage and played the game of your life
Nick Smith; Smithy well done you did a real job on Cyril and attacked in return
AJ; Bloody hell what do you say, to pull that sort of game out in a GF bloody hell
Teddy; Such courage to play through the pain barrier
Goodsie; Again such courage to play with that sort of pain. I have a torn meniscus so I know half the pain you endured
Bolts; Same as Goodsie
Mitch Morton; Very much maligned but you produced your best when it counted, welcome to the Bloods!
Mummy; For playing through pain and restricted movement
There were so many stars on the day I only wished to thank these blokes because of special circumstances. Hannas had to be unlucky ROK had such a great day out as he was so close to the Norm! The half backs are so unheralded and play well every week. The others are obvious. Also Jetts who was injured in the end but still managed to cut a Hawks attack off.Last edited by wolftone57; 30 September 2012, 11:58 AM.Comment

I'm at the SCG and my hangover magically disappeared as soon as I put my new 2012 Premiers cap on

The programming people at Foxtel must have expected the Hawks to win the flag - they are currently broadcasting a game titled 'Premier's Qualifying Final' which is followed by the Preliminary and then the GF - however, the first game is the Hawks' win over Collingwood!
Against all expectations (even after the fact in this case) the Swans triumph.Comment

Been thinking cause I can't get enough of all this unmitigated happiness...we beat the other 3 top four, who had each beaten us at our last start, with several walking wounded! Did you notice how it seemed to be our day because (for the first time I can remember) the bounce did not cruel us (at least that I can remember). Every time one of those "which way will it go balls" came toward one of our blokes it somehow was kind to us. Can't say the same for the umps...but who cares now!Comment

Grand Final - CARN THE BLOODS!
Yeah, same here. Sat next to quite a few Swans supporters who came alone. Everyone was very friendly. However one Swans fan let the game get to him. He was cursin with the f-word, would have told him that it was a family event.. except he had kids with him :/ awkward!Comment

Funniest thing I saw at the airport this morning was i think it was Longmires better hlaf, who was put in charge of looking after the premiership cup for the flight home, doing so by carrying it in around in a big krispy kremes bag!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Went to the reception at Lake Side today, then to the airport. Home now and reading all the papers drinking my cuppa out of my Premiers mug. I feel so good and the best bit was my Dad, who turned 83 on Wednesday & had spinal surgery only four weeks ago, was able to make it to the game with us. The tears in his eyes and smile on his face at the final siren were precious.
Thank you Swans..... you did yourselves proud.Comment

A late post on the game from me. Home pretty late last night. Great win by a team that again did not have a passenger. To have so many match injuries and still triumph was legendary stuff.
Hats off to Malceski after a form slump and I for one thought that he had been playing soft footy. Reinvented himself in the second half of the season and played tough, hard footy. I was up the Punt road end and Alex Johnson's second quarter was special. He kept his eyes on the footy and read the play superbly. Mind you LRT's last quarter was pretty good as was Sam Reid's last quarter.Comment

Folks, that feeling of exhileration when the siren goes and you instantly go into raptures is hard to match. For much of the game I think most people react like they do at any game, but when the lady behind me said there was 34 seconds to go when Mal nailed that goal the feelings and emotions went haywire in anticipation of the siren.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.
