Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

Good news if Kurt is only out for a week. He may have dodged a bullet there.
I'll happily reassess my opinion of the deal if he comes back and clunks 10+ marks, gets 30+ hitouts and kicks 4+ goals per game once he's back.Comment

Buddy (and probably Sam Reid) are better for having Tippett in the side. Tippett taking the tallest defender frees up attention that would otherwise be placed on Buddy, giving Bud freedom to roam and do what he does best.
The other thing is that with Tippett in the side, forward entries aren't so Buddy-centric. I think our forward structures are either best with Tip&Bud or with neither of them (in the latter instance, we seem to have multiple avenues to goal, including a greater mid-field contribution, making us far less predictable). When Bud is the key forward, he is double (or triple) teamed ... & we still look to him (he demands the ball) but there's only so much he can do.
Tip also is (IMO) the most effective of our ruckmen (not elite, but better than Naismith - at this stage, Sink & Cameron).
For all the bemoaning his salary and time in the treatment & rehab rooms, I think Tip is an integral element of our seasonal structure (his going missing at the pointy end of the season is undeniable though).Comment

Commentary I've never heard in connection with K Tippett since he joined the Swans - "courageous", "selfless", "inspirational".Comment

Sorry, but that's a comment on his quality as a human being rather than as a footballer, and I've never seen any evidence he's less than a genuinely decent bloke. It's exactly the same comment I heard from a heap of bogan SEN callers about Adam Goodes in his last season, trying to justify the booing. Anyone who uses it needs to take a good hard look in the mirror (and, at a minimum, examine whether they could make a more insightful critique - "flog" is pretty meaningless).That said, Tippo's grand final performance absolutely stunk and he's been less than ordinary in the games he's actually played this year. It's not his fault he's injury prone, but the bottom line is he's gone from All Australian contention midway through last year to being an absolute plodder. His injuries last year (especially the sling) may not have helped but at the moment he's a liability rather than an asset.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

Well, I for one am surprised that he lasted longer than 8 minutes without stubbing his big toe.
Kudos.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Please explain what you mean by this - and in doing so it'd be great to hear how you differentiate yourself from those that mindlessly slung this tag on Goodsey.....

Hope he's better for the run, but he has a fair way to go to justify his price tag.
1 kick and 4 handpasses ain't much output for what we're paying him.Comment

Everyone is correct. It was rash and thoughtless of me to call out Tippo as a flog. Unthinking of me. Perhaps it was a response to what I saw last night - a player who is confused and unable to execute the skills required of a senior Swan. A shadow of the great Adelaide Crows player that he once was. do apologise. I accept that I should have referred to him as an flop."Play like you can’t lose."Comment

Bless you. I am embarrassed about last night's effort. Tippo had a few mates in the 'absence of ticker' department. It made me feel sick."Play like you can’t lose."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.
