Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I really don't want to read on a swans board anything positive about McGuire. There are other forums Matt if you want to praise the merits of McGuire and Co, especially one that loves trolls and disingenuous posters like yourself. Its big and its about footy..knock yourself out if you haven't already.Comment

I'm sure the Pies have an "I think the sun shines out of Eddie's arse" thread going.
There's the sun you look up to... go and play there.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Apologies for my posting frequency, but I need to clarify my position.
I'm not a huge Eddie fan as has been suggested. I don't hate him, but he is not on my top 10 list of the people I most want to have lunch with.
I feel the hatred towards Eddie that is exhibited by Swans Board members, Executives, Players, Coaching staff and the wider fan base is detrimental to the club.
Like it or not, Eddie is the AFLs biggest powerbroker. He is so widely established that there is no tacking him down. In short we can whinge all we want, but he is not going anywhere.
Hating Eddie and moaning to the AFL commission about him won't stop him.
He knows the Swans community hates him so he sets out to screw us. He is doing very well screwing us based on the recent trade bans.
It much easier would things be if the Swans community were his friends. He would then be preaching about goodness of the Swans Academy.
I'm being pragmatic and I want the AFL on our side. It's starts with getting Eddie on our side.Comment

Your points & where you stand on the Edward McChins issue have been made exhaustively ... your position could not be much clearer. In fact, all of the things you wrote after apologising for your posting frequency, have been posted a thousand times previously by your good self (just in case we forgot what you've been preaching to us ad nauseum) ... including how pragmattic you believe yourself to be.
The thing is, Matt80, many on RWO seem to disagree with the merits of your suggested buddying up with McChins.
How about you set up a poll and be done with it? You only need two choices 1) suck up to Eddie; 2) Eddie sucks.
If 1) wins, you're vindicated & no need to mention it again. If 2) wins, the RWO majority have spoken & no need to mention it ever again.Last edited by 0918330512; 3 November 2014, 11:54 PM.Comment

Honey, do they teach you to read at school these days? Do they also teach you comprehension?
Do you know what comprehension is?
Do you not get it?
"Like it or not, Eddie is the AFLs biggest powerbroker. He is so widely established that there is no tacking him down. In short we can whinge all we want, but he is not going anywhere."
A judgement from the Supreme Court of Victoria will tack him down... AND the AFL.
If the meeting doesn't go in our favour on 15 December, the swans will be taking this to Court.
Have to give them a chance to change their minds first.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

[He needs to post often to make up for all the people who couldn't be bothered posting anymore because of him..
Just sayin'..]
Yes, the dribble seems to be putting a lot of us off posting.Comment

I sincerely hope this is true and expect nothing less from our club's leaders.
Also happy for us to keep a dignified silence and let the law of equity take its course.
And I'm also happy for the law of restraint of trade to be invoked if the Academy is compromised thereby forcing 18 year olds interstate when they have committed to the sport of AFL with the reasonable expectation that if a club invests millions of dollars in their education that they can play for that club.Comment

Collingwood would benefit from a restraint of trade case winning. Is pushing the swans toward a challenge all part of McChins master plan?
I think we should open up another avenue of attack.. it is rumoured that essendon drug program was based off an earlier collingwood model. James hirds famous "keeping up with others" comment. We should push for that to be investigated further.Comment

I am not saying its true but the 2009-10 collingwood side was very sus in a lot of peoples eyes. I recall the 2010 pies being able to run out games despite playing a very taxing game with their forward press and gut running.Comment

Then what about the Weagles in 2006Comment

- 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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
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.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
