Does God believe in Atheists? -
Reads like an endorsement to me!
I just don't get the negativity about him. I understand that not everyone would be jumping hoops but boy talk about grasping at straws for reasons to not want him! If he was the big ogre that the AFC have made him out to be, then why the hell were they so damned determined to keep him?
How about we all just leave it up to the club, they seem like they have a pretty good handle on running a professional football club.Comment

Ok settle - I just didn't see the article as being one about KT and what the playing group think (I'm sure they're 100% behind the idea). I have gone from someone who wasn't particularly keen on this at the start, to more than happy that we are 99% sure of landing him, because it's pretty clear that the club has thought this through and the players are in agreement with it. However this article is about Jude - of course journos are going to ask Swans players about the saga, and of course they'll give responses like Jude did - not counting chickens before they hatch etc etc. What else was he going to say anyway?
I was just expressing my interpretation of the article.Comment

Most of the negativity is about the huge contract he's supposedly been offered, not so much about him as a player.
And yes we all know the footy department have been fantastic in recruiting , developing etc...but we can all still have an opinion.
My opinion is we are paying him over what he is currently worth.
If the figure of approx $800k - $900k per year is correct, he'll be the highest paid player at the Swans....That needs to be justified on the field.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Most people thing we jagged a premiership this year, and I'm inclined to believe them. We need to substantially improve to go back to back, and if that means paying overs for the best available key forward, then so be it.Comment

Yeah why do people think we jagged it? We beat every team except Richmond ( who cares about them), we won at every ground (except skilled and no one wins there) and we beat the flag favourites 2 out of the 3 times we played them. We also won a lot of games very convincingly. It is insulting to say we jagged it.Comment

I said..."IF the figure of $800k - $900k per year is correct".....so obviously I don't know and am not pretending to know.
But if those reported amounts are even close to correct, then my guess is only Goodesy is being paid anywhere near that amount...
Certainly my view, of Tippett coming to the Swans, is positive, in that he'll improve our list.
But that doesn't justify the supposed salary he'll get....
How he plays will determine that.

What the hell does 'jagged it' mean?
Is this some new fangled term the kids are using these days?The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

We jagged it because in two of the finals we played, if the opposition kicked straighter we would have lost.
Don't mistake "jagged" for not being worthy. We did what was required to win, but in 2013, every club will be on to us.Comment

I would guess that goodies salary has started to decline once he got over 30. My guess he'd be on 600k.
Kennedy will be on close to a mill on his next contract. But goodes, Bolton and maybe a couple of others will be retiring about that time, so will free up cap space.
Kurt may become our highest payed player, but only for a short time.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.

The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
