The two big positives for me were Rohan and Reid
They both impressed tonight and seem to be growing and developing into their rolesComment

I love Goodes goals , but gee he is a liability defensively they ran off him and around him all night - he puts those around him under a lot of pressureComment
-
Same number of scoring shots. Bad kicking cost us really.
Also shows what a home ground advantage the grand final venue is.Comment

A very hard match by 2 very good teams that are close in ability?.a game that could have gone either way at various times of the match
Upsides were THE GUYS THAT STOOD UP ,albeit that some of our stars were a little quiet tonight.
Nothing to fear here for the finals
Not impressed with that Hawthorn bloke who wouldn't hand the ball back to Laidler, thinking he was part of their game plan?.grrrrrrrComment

We were beaten in the clearances. Especially in the center. Tackling and pressure was very poor. And just didn't run hard enough into space. Though we weren't far away. McGlynn was sensational. Buddy and Tippett were dangerous when ball was delivered quickly. Goodes was clever but weak in defence. Rohan is definitely more comfortable down back. Smith wasn't as bad as some are saying. Bruest is AA. The ruckman were terrible. Pyke?s tapwork was poor and did he take a single mark? Reid was very quiet. Bring back TD. Parker, cunningham, Rampe good.Comment

I'm not too disappointed in the loss - it was close and we played ok for most of the match. We should win all remaining H&A games (depending on which Port team shows up, I guess) and I know it's superstition, but I would hate to go into finals on a long winning streak.Comment

Great game.
There were some positives tonight.
I thought Rampe was superb tonight. Rohan played well. His tackling, spoiling, pace and aggression was great. Was strong in the air as well. I would keep him in the Backline at the expense of Laidler when Shaw comes back.
Towers showed a lot out of the subs vest which was encouraging.
Nick Smith had a rare off night and we were not able to get enough goals outside of Franklin, Tippett and Goodes.
The game was too open and that suits the Hawks with there great ball usage. We need to set up more of a boundary line scrap with them next time. We failed to hit 90 tackles and that's because the game was too open.Comment

Disappointing to lose, but it was a finals style game of footy and im confident that we can beat them come finals time.
One of those games where a couple of 50/50 calls (well the first one wasnt to me for their goal just befor 3/4time - htb every day of the week!) that didnt go our way really hurt. We may get our payback come finals time.
I must comment on some of the flogs that follow the hawks though. I really don't appreciate dickheads like the one we got on the way out - who yelled something along the lines of (without us saying a word) '@@@@ off you @@@@ing cheaters' at me and my gf. We had had nothing to do with this fool all night (we were two bays across) - my better half has now vowed she will not attend another game involving them again. Really disappointing when im trying to get her to appreciate the game to have to put up with that sort of behaviour.
The fools next to us in p18 were pretty unbareable too with their comments about goodes - I was so suprised one of the petty minded, racist fools didnt say something bad enough to allow me to report him - I was very tempted.
Poor form hawthorn fans, I will take great pleasure if we finish them off in september."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

yeah but Rampe wasn't baaaaad. He was just so so like a lot of players. Tonight's result, I wasn't happy with, but at the same time I was kinda meh....
It was funny game to watch. Normally watching a game I'm pensive and coiled up like a spring ready to release, but tonight I think I was kinda like the players... just so so. It was almost like it was round one and you are just wondering how your team will go.
We're still good. So long as we don't become complacent.

- 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.
