Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT -
Did anyone see Hannebery almost tackle Parker in the third???The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Think ROK is fine, he tweeted there were no injuries, so I take that as an honest assessment. Think they took him off as precaution and someone had to go so that Harry could get a run.
Very satisfying game to watch. Bits of the midfield fights would make fantastic slomo because I couldn't keep up sometimes. They really are good.
Thrilled for Jesse. He is just so good when he is good. He looks so much more confident and I have yet to see a happier and engaging face when one of the other boys does something worth noting.
Jared Crouch tweeted he felt like a proud father. Have to agree with him. He is sending his charges to the senior games with instilled confidence in themselves and a knowledge of their ability and game plan. Not one of them has appeared to be out of place. Cast your mind back to watching the painful transition of some of our best players now and you can see what I mean. His boys are self assured, and have knowledge. That takes good teaching.
Hanners is a gem.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Cunningham only had 2 kicks that directly resulted in 2 Tippett marks and 2 Tippett goals.
2 handballs, one quick fire one that missed it's target due to an Eagle hand in the way. Don't recall the other one.
Not a bad 2013 debut Harry!!Comment

Yep. Our win over there last year was probably our best performance of the season, closely followed by the QF v the Crows at AAMI and the GF v Hawthorn at the MCG. This year our bests have been at AAMI v the Crows and the MCG v Collingwood and yesterday.
So in the past 2 years, one a Premiership year and the other still to be decided, clearly our best performances have been at the MCG, Footy Park and Subi, all big grounds with wide open spaces.
Yet you can be almost guaranteed that leading into this weeks game, we will read all about how well the Swans play the SCG and how the small ground suits our tight stoppage style blah, blah, blah. And of course, if it's wet, we are almost unbeatable because of our game style
.
Seriously, this years finals will probably only have 2, maybe 3 survivors from 2005, but the media still see us playing the same game style.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

There is a club in the AFL playing something close to our 2005 game style, but they're over the other side of the country.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Swans performances like this beg the following questions:
Come finals time, with no margin for error, would you rather have:
- An in-form White or an out-of-form Reid?
- An in-form White or an out-of-form Goodes?
- An in-form Brandon Jack or an out-of-form Jetta?
- An in-form Rohan or an out-of-form Jetta?
- An in-form Everitt or an out-of-form LRT?"Take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the Swans win pretty."Comment

Awesome midfield.
Jesse's first half was as good as he's ever played.
Statswatch: Hannebery not only got 40 possessions, but had 80% efficiency as well. The whole team went at 78% despite West Coast laying 24 more tackles. By comparison, efficiency against GWS was 76%. That's a well-drilled team.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Still think Goodes at 70% is a bloody good ace to have for the finals.Comment

Just as an aside one of the things that Jesse has often been criticized for has been his failure to throw his body around. To his great credit I reckon there was a a one on four where Jesse charged the pack, crashed it and brought the ball to ground - maybe in the third quarter ? But I was very happy with that.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.

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.
