You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -
Yeah, forgot that one, banging on about Goodes sliding in "Just about the worst one all year, AND he has form"
In the end he was just making it up. Whinged about the downfield free when Cyril gave Jetta 'a little touch', 'resulting in a goal to the Swans' (sorry Derm, wrong again, Birdy missed) and made the point that the Suckling one should have also been downfield and 'would have resulted in a Hawthorn goal'. The way they were kicking Derm, really, would have resulted in a goal?

The HS has the real reason they failed to win.
Disposal efficiency. They compared the whole season to the GF, by player.
Most players were way down on their usual efficiency.
I think in laymans terms it's called choking.Comment

I heard part of the SEN replay of the game on Saturday evening. Germ said the push out by Hale on Mummy was nothing and happens all the time. Nothing...he bloody pushed him clean in the back with some force. Dunstall on After the Game was gracious in defeat and gave no excuses, and he is on their Board.
Brereton's condescending style and over analysis of footy is annoying, as he tries to make himself sound like he knows what he is talking about. The worst special comments person by a long way.Comment

It doesn't matter how good you are at all the key areas during the season, if you don't outscore the opposition in the GF you lose. In the last 5 minutes when it counted we were the ones that found what was required from deep down. Isn't it funny that it is not the Hawthorn players or coaches whinging, it's all the other apologists wearing the poos and wees colours.Comment

I'd say Dermie lost a lot of dough gambling on the result.Comment

Maybe Dermie will hand back his Swans jumper ... along the contract money he took under false pretenses
.
Instead of moaning, he should be out on the park teaching Buddy to kick.Comment

We got hardly anything from the umps all day - seemed to be two sets of rules out there, so to beat 25 opponents was an awesome effort!
Hodge's arm chop on Bird in the last quarter (no free), the hold and drag down of Mumford when he still nearly marked it (no free) and the non-existent push at the boundary throw in paid to Hale against Mummy are three clear occasions where we were robbed. I thought for a minute I saw an eye patch on umpire Stevic . . .
Dermie would be spewing they lost. Tough bickies - build a bridge, or, as others have said, get down to Waverley and teach Buddy how to kick more reliably.
Best chuckles come from their former players who were last week calling them better than the 08 Hawks.

And that sums it up to a tee. Football is not played on a stats sheet, with one exception - the scoreboard. If you don't score more points than your opponents, than you lose. We were smashed in several key areas, but still won the game on the scoreboard, and when we are old and senile, that's the only story that'll be worth telling. And by gee, what a cracking yarn it's going to be.
Dermie is a goose - end of story. Sometimes a good analyst, usually not."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Maybe dermie's been on the sniff sniff again!LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

Yes, can just picture Dermie as an old fart sitting in a recliner reminiscing to one of his grand kiddies . . .And that sums it up to a tee. Football is not played on a stats sheet, with one exception - the scoreboard. If you don't score more points than your opponents, than you lose. We were smashed in several key areas, but still won the game on the scoreboard, and when we are old and senile, that's the only story that'll be worth telling. And by gee, what a cracking yarn it's going to be.
'I remember way back in the 2012 Grand Final, when the mighty Hawks (which were better than the 08 side you know) won the inside 50 count 61-43. It was a sight to behold sonny - the boys banged it in there all day long, and the superstar forward of the day kicked the stuffing out of the ball. He kicked it a mile every time, and if the goal posts had been set across three bays rather than just half of one, he'd have kicked 9 straight!
And the centre hit outs - geez - you should have seen them! 19-5 they won them! Smashed it out of the centre time after time . . . was a thing to warm any old ruckman's heart (not that I really give a fig for ruckmen). Then there were the clearances - they won those by 23. 23! Amazing. AMAZING I tell you! And the contested footy - won that by 26. Big, strong and tough they were. And the free kicks - we won those as well! Umpire Stevic was seeing the frees like tennis balls and just about blew the pea out of his whistle! 21-10 we won those! I seem to recall the Crows spruiking a 19th man membership drive that year, but we had a far better 19th man set up that day!
And his grand kiddie says "Gee, they all sound like really REALLY interesting numbers Grandpa, but what was the score? How many GOALS did we win by? And where is the replica cup on your mantelpiece? Surely we won the game, didn't we? It sounds like we were just about perfect that day . . . it must have been great to be there!"
And Dermie says "The score?!?! I don't remember the score?!?! Who CARES about the score!!!! We won the clearances, the contested possessions, the inside 50's . . . isn't that enough?!?!?
To which his grand kiddie says "Nup Grandpa, I don't think so. I really don't think so, and I think I like the 2008 Hawks better."

I recorded last night from 6pm to 7pm to listen to later so have an 42MB MP3 file but have no idea how to edit out the news/weather etc (the first 10mins) or how to make it available to you all
I am happy to email it to someone who does though or try and upload it somewhere if told what to do ....Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
And if there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went!

Try Audacity. You can edit an MP3 pretty easily with that (it's free). Should also allow you to compress the file too."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

- 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.
