Don't normally deal much in rumours, but heard one today through what is supposedly a solid source. A colleague of my dads is apparently a friend of a lady who works at the swans in a physio role. According to this source, our team were struck with the flu last week. Also Mcveigh has an ankle injury that is his major concern, not his knee and he won't play. Finally, that Goodes is not going to be able to play footy again, He's done! cannot vouch for the accuracy of this, but thought I'd throw it out there to see what RWOers make of it!Comment

We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!Comment

He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

If Goodes' condition was that bad, would he have gotten so close to making a comeback for the end of this season?Comment

Maybe Goodes wanted to get up for a farewell home game.Last edited by annew; 14 September 2013, 12:44 PM.Comment

The part I don't understand is why was he ruled out for the season? If he was that close and Sydney could potentially play two more games, why rule him out for the season? Makes me wonder if there is some truth to it.
Also, in regards to the McVeigh rumour, his brother Mark was just on SEN and was asked directly if Jarrad was playing and he said definitely. So either rumour is untrue or Swans are keeping it under raps right till game time.Comment

If this is true, requires immediate silence and negotiation for a trade for draft pick No 1.
Seriously, Goodes career would not be done. What sort of knee injury would do that considering what he has shown. It's not like bone on bone. He was running fine until the injury against Port and then it was clear to all what happened.
A whole team with man flu - near death situation that. It takes more than a week to get over it, probably never if you're married.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

I don't think he ever came really close Liz. Not according to physio Matt Cameron anyway. Matt never said he is good to go, he always says that if a player is ready. What's more he cringed a few times when people suggested Goodsie wwas almost ready. Goodsie broke down every time he put any stress on the knee and he is also feeling soreness in other parts of the leg which indicates he is overcompensating.
As sad as it is I think he would be better hanging up the boots for his own health and I think we need to get used to a post Goodes era.
Retirements at the end of the year; Jude, Goodsie, Rhyce and maybe LRT. Ryano is super fit and may go for one more. We need to look at the future I think now that we are truly blooding players. I know it is hard to let go of our favourites but let go we must. We have blooded nine players this year and will blood more next year, certainly Towers, Membrey, Marsh, Robinson, Lloyd, Peris (we will draft him), maybe Lockyer and Naismith. We will be a very strong side and get even stronger. The draft this year is full of KPP's.Comment

Goodsie has been carrying a knee injury which normally would mean an operation to remove cartilage. If the cartilage is floating then he will not be right without an op. The other thing is age creeps up on everyone and while in the eyes of society in general Goodsie is a young man in footy terms he is a venerable old man.Comment

Also heard from the same source that the entire midfield has scurvy so that explains the tiredness and lethargy over the last month plus the medical team has found a positive link between beards and knee injuries - expect everyone to be clean shaven tonight!
Also, Horse is supposedly actually a woman.
Fair dinkum!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.
