BJ is very very raw, but imo (and I only saw a limited bit of KJ in his developing years) he looks to have more potential than KJ had at the same time. Some hard work, some good time developing in the reserves next year and he will come on in leaps and bounds. If he has the same application of his brother, BJ will make it as an afl player."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

I didn't mean that bj won't make it, more that I think he is still a long way off from what I have seen to date. He needs more timeComment

Much happier this week, we didn't look tired like we did against Collingwood and Geelong. Pressure was very good in creating turnovers.
Rested three players this week which will assist going forward and also Hawthorn didn't get a look at Tippett who cut them up in his last outing against them in last years Prelim.Comment

Wow. I'd accepted i would have a miserable week. But our midfield no longer look tired. Jesse is great to watch. Kieren was his old self. Ted is in form. Mummy has energy. I was worried we were going to win. We can beat these pretenders. I don't think we match up as well against Geelong, and Freo probably do. This was a good result.Comment

Certainly the effort was there, and the hard ball pressure was most certainly there. Need to maintain it for 4 quarters, but we weren't helped tonight by not having Hanners in our midfield rotation. As useful as Cunningham and BJ may become, they don't get a lot of ball yet and it was our bottom few that got shown up when the game was there to be won early in the last. Bring in Hanners, get Smith back to do a job on that little Poopoo or Rioli if he plays and get Tippett back, and I think we are right in it next week.
Looking forward to the media writing us off all week next week! If we bring tonight's effort next week and a bit more polish, we can win next week. Carn you mighty swannies - don't give up the Cup without an almighty fight!"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Longmire just interviewed...happy with effort and winning tackles. Mal off as a precaution. He says Hanners, Nick Smith & Tippett all back next week. Will see how Jetta pulls up after Ressies (something tells me Jets could be a sub next week all going well). Horse also mentioned Goodesy ran well today and LRT is thereabouts. Ch 7 also showed Keiran Jack in the rooms sitting against the wall wrapped in a red dressing gown looking asleep. They said he looked a bit fluey...if so, thats a good sign as he will only improve.Comment

Only got home for the last qrt. Was not impressed.
Feel better after reading the thread.
But still...-Comment

1st three quarters really were excellent CJK, especially in light of our poor last month. We dropped off in the last, which you can't afford to do against good sides. Certainly I think there is plenty of reason to feel far more optimistic going into the 1st final next week after the performance tonight."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Good effort in the first three quarters but the Hawks seemed to turn up their intensity in the last and that's where they won the game. We should expect that level next week though so we shouldn't prematurely assume we're back on track fullyComment

Back in Town
We are back in town boys and girls. Still room for improvement and the last quarter was average but I did not want to win and play Geelong at Simonds Stadium anyway. Not saying we are premiers, but if we play like that. whoever beats us will really know about it. Goodbye Buddy , you will not be there next week and we will have Tippet.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.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
