I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Yes, you can see him struggling as he goes back to take his kick. He gave it absolutely everything he had, the kick itself only landed a couple of metres short...
I've only watched the whole game once from start to finish, but I can't stop watching the last few minutes, there were several critical plays, Mattner scrambling for the ball with Birchall on the boundary line, the resulting throw-in led to Jetta's mark, which was actually from a quick kick off the ground by Pyke! Everyone did their bit for the team in that last quarter, they all managed to contribute something.Comment

I've just returned from Melbourne (with a sore head). Only got to see the replay for the first time yesterday. I spent so many hours reading RWO and other websites, basking in the glory of the win and all the kudos and goodwill from pundits and other fans. Haven't contributed, not sure what to say, there is too much. So I'd just like to quote the above, at the end of the day we won because every single player contributed. Well done everyone, this is just so enjoyable.Comment

No I thought even Bruce was pretty good on the day. The others were and always are pretty spot-on - Dennis, Lethal, Harley, Richo.
Bruce made a great call of Morton's first goal as he ducked around a couple of Hawks.... "he's fishing, he's fishing... .he's hooked a big one!"
He controlled himself during the Rioli v Jetta chase. Didn't mention the 'd' word.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

The telecast/replay - a different game
In my view I thought his exuberance was exactly right for the game and it was certainly shown for both teams. He has a genuine affection for the Swans and his quote when the siren went was brilliant.
Anyway, from Round 1 next year he'll probably go back to annoying me...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

His mark in the first qrtr and allround game were remarkable, but Hanners entire last qrtr is out of this world on replay.
From his entire five minutes of pure desperation post the Hale goal where he is in at it at every contest, his composure to slot one and start the fight back, his steal off Lewis with a couple of minutes to go to get the ball moving our way to THE handball to Mal . . .
We are one lucky club to have that kid in our ranks'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

I've watched the whole game twice, the 2nd and 4th quarters thrice and the last 3-4 minutes maybe 6-7 times. I really liked Mattner's effort near the boundary line at the end.
Last night I watched the sequence leading to Malceski's last goal. Who was it that got their hand in on Burgoyne (I think it was), which made him spill the ball? Then it went to Hannebery, who handballed to Malckeski. I tried rewinding it but I can't quite see. My guess is Kennedy, but I found it hard to tell.
On the telecast, I found McAvaney's commentary annoying. And the crosses to the zombies watching up in Sydney were infinitely annoying. They even missed the celebrations after the final goal for several seconds to show that. Grrrr... I'm looking forward to getting a DVD with the radio calls too for some variety, but those crosses to the outdoor screen will still be present I guess.
Maybe I've watched the 2005 GF too often, but I miss Quartermain.
I watched the game online live (I live in Europe.) It was pretty good quality, but they stopped the broadcast before the players ran the lap, which was disappointing.Comment

A little off topic, but I have just started watching the Ch.7 Pre-game show which I recorded. It's fun watching Mick Malthouse & Leigh Matthews make fools of themselves. Only 5mins in and so far they have said "the width of the MCG is no good for Sydney's game style, it is only suited to the narrow grounds" and "the Franklin / Rioli pair is more likely to be very good more often than Goodes/Jetta, especially today". I feel like I'm watching a comedy special!!Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
