Franklin signing is really destroying our club!!
But seriously, awesome news. Love the Rooster. -
Getting all the big contracts signed while we still have the COLA. I think the threat of losing the COLA is actually a big incentive for players to sign long term contracts now.

Great thinking to lock them in.
Mitchell should be next!Comment

Go Gaz!
Will be a hard man to stop.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
-
There were some whispers that one AFL club in particular made strong overtures to Gazza recently so it's a great relief that he's decided to stay.Comment
-
Just saw a replay of Gazza's last goal from yesterday. He looked dead on his feet, then launched the ball from just over the 50 mtr. mark and it sailed through more than half way up the goal post. The ball must have gone a good 70 mtrs. He looks ready to have an enormous season and move right into the elite category.Comment
-
yeah it appeared he winded himself when landing with the ball on the ground - then gets up and nails a barry hall style kick at goal !!!"be tough, only when it gets tough"

His ankle was giving him some grief last night but played out the game so must be ok. He laid a great tackle late in the 3rd qrt, stayed on the ground grabbing his right ankle. Hobbled to the bench, put ice on for 5 minutes and then re joined the team at the huddle. Played out the final qrt but was slightly hampered. Hope all is ok!Swannies for life!Comment

Tremendous news, on the signing not the ankle injury! If ever a player deserved a season or two free from injury to show the AFL just how good he is it was Gaz.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment
-
Massive renewal for the swans.
He will kick plenty of goals whilst the big boys are taking the defenders focus in the forward line.
The cleanness and finishing class will make him a big opposition coach headache.Comment
-
He certainly makes his possessions count. He received some criticism after the final round game against the Hawks where he finished with two possessions for two goals!
His tackling, pressure and courage a first rate and he is a lovely judge of a high mark!
It will be a nightmare for opposition coaches! If you were playing Geelong, you would want to put Harry Taylor on him due to his marking ability. But Tippett, Franklin and Reid need to be covered first! That leaves an Andrew Mackie against Rohan. Mackie would do a good job body on body, but would not be able to go with Rohan on pace. Mackie would also not be such a potent offensive threat because he would have to show Rohan great respect, and Rohan would drag him often to the Goal Square!Comment

For someone who's played not even 30 games, that's not a bad highlight reel.
WHen he joined the Swans his coach at the Falcons said he was the most exciting player he'd had in the club, including young Gaz.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment
-
Exciting news for a number of reasons, not least the fact that it puts pay to the idea that every player at the Swans is quietly simmering with rage at the amount of salary cap being taken up by Tippett and Franklin.Comment
-
Awesome news. Everytime Gaz chases down a player he reminds me of a leopard chasing a deer.
It won't stop the lies and rumours Liz. Theres a guy on BF who is really pushing that there is unrest at the swans, even when debunked he rather believe the lies and keep pushing them. Then when quizzed about his own team and coach and the endless rumours, he becomes a hypocrite and starts attacking and debunking them as stupidity, just like most were doing with his rumours. Theres a lot of people who think and act like this guy, especially on line. And these are not 16 years too, grown up adults. Hence why i hate AFL fans.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.
