Yep, saw that, so the confusion is still there. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.Comment

Give it a rest, barry. You are being silly. The only reason our PF was rescheduled in 2012, because both ANZ and SCG were unavailable on Saturday. Why didn't NRL played their SF at SFS then? There was a lot of noise in Melbourne because of it, because Hawks had to play on Saturday instead of Friday as they should have. If NRL decides that they want ANZ for themselves than we will play the PF at the SCG.Comment

Can perhaps everyone give the SCG v Homebush thing a rest? It's getting tiresome and taking the gloss off today's fantastic performance.
BTW I wouldn't be surprised if Freo still make it all the way to the GF. They can knock over the Hawks.Comment

I live less than 20 mins normal driving time to ANZ Stadium and tried to take the free big event bus service. Due to a combination of horrendous traffic and sporadic buses, it took approx one hour and 45 mins to get there and we missed the first 5 mins of the game. A third member of our party tried to go by train from the eastern suburbs and sat on a train at Central that went nowhere for over 20 mins. He also missed the start of the game. Call him pathetic if you like but he said he won't bother again. As for me, given I work in the city it will be a complete lottery regarding how long it takes to get to ANZ Stadium on a Fri night game in 2 weeks.CIA Agent to Policeman: "Have you ever had anti-terrorist training?"

Just watched the recording. I'm not sure what most of what the early posters where talking about. I actually thought we played well. Thought we controlled the game for 3 out of the 4 qtrs. The effort and commitment were there. The luck just didn't go our way. And Fremantle played great. They took the most of their chances. And luck seemed to go their way. FWIW
- Parker was extraordinary. His battle with Fyfe was a great contest.
- Smith was sensational against Ballantyne.
- Hannebery was excellent in 1st half and managed to shake Crowley in 4th qtr.
- Lloyd did some clever things. Buddy is worth his money. Jetta, Pyke and McGlynn were also good.
- Goodes should not go outside the forward 50.
- Rohan was not as bad as some were saying. Can't believe some of the comments about him.Comment

You would think that with a Friday night game at ANZ in a couple of weeks that there would be no league games played on the surface for at least 5 or 6 days prior so with some luck with the weather permitting it should hold up pretty well! It appeared ok today even considering the amount of rain that's fallen! Bring on the prelim!

I missed the match due to work.
Nonethless , I would like to offer some rigorous , in-depth commentary :
WE ARE IN A HOME PF - YAYYYYY!!!!!

My take is that Goodes did more than Tippett today. He hasn't tackled for about 3-4 years and I presume it's because of instructions. However he is such a clever player that he is worth more than anyone we'd put in the team in his place.
I wouldn't be surprised if he played on next year. He has said that the club has said it's entirely his call.Comment

Joey was tough on himself when his kicking was intercepted for their score. He seemed to be playing better as the game went on.
Benny is the energiser bunny. He took about 20 seconds to get back to being match ready.
Gaz had a shocking start but really worked his way back into the game. You'd be mad to drop him for the PF. I'm guessing it's Laidler or Mitchell for Mal.
I really really hope that's not the last game Mal plays for the Swans. He's such a part of our culture.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.

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.

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.
