I have been watching a few 2014 games over the weekend at just about every away crowd booed Lance at some stage of the game.Quote Originally Posted by liz View Post

Back on topic:
I agree with the previous sentiments in that it is sad to see the Eski go but understandable. I really though Biggs would be given a chance now that backline spot has opened up. The Swans must see Jones (or Macca as bondy said a few posts up) as a better replacement. Surprising, Biggs seemed to be a very good kick.Last edited by RogueSwan; 7 October 2014, 08:21 AM."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

Sad but sense prevailed not offering him a 3 year deal. I think Biggs will take thayt spot. Maybe not in finals.

Let me add my thanks and safeness to see Malceski going but I wish him every success at the Gold Coast. As I type this I am sitting in a hotel on the GC and I drove past Metricon stadium just yesterday afternoon. Maybe I'll have to come back up next year when we play the suns to watch
I think most swans supporters will be most gracious when seeing him play like we have been with MumfordComment

The Mal decision is sad but the best for both parties. We couldn't guarantee him three more years and GC could - and at a pay packet that will set him up for retirement. I'm not convinced he's the right temperament to be a coach. But, after living through all that SARS saga with him - plus his bookend goals in the 2012 GF - it make this one of the saddest departures ever.
I think it also reinforces that the club doesn't make sentimental list decisions. Mal wants three years and we don't think he's got that long - gone. Mummy likewise. That puts Goodes and Shaw in an interesting light. I think Shaw (like, I hope ROK) has been told that if he drops off he'll be mentoring the twos, and he'd be great in that role. Goodes is Goodes so that may be all there is behind it - but I suspect that his stem cell treatment really is reversing his problems and the team may be expecting him to keep improving. I can't see him in the twos, though that'd be a scary prospect for the opposition.
When I think of players that left for other teams, Jolly is the only one I don't feel fondly towards. I'm gratified to hear that he said that he enjoyed his time at the Swans a lot more than his time at the Pies. But the others - Sean and Shneids, Amon, Mummy, I have only good wishes.
And I've been both surprised by and perversely proud of our selectors in seeing how few of our bit players (TDL, Jessie?? etc) who haven't played better after a move.Comment

Very classy statement from both the club and NicMal, I don't ever recall being sadder at a departure.
I was upset at Mummy going (so much so I took up a GWS 3 game membership), but that was offset by getting Buddy and of course the retirements of the likes of Stewie, Jude, Kirky, CBolts, MickeyO etc were sad but they were retiring, to see a favourite son leaving to play at another club of his own volition is pretty tough to take though I fully understand the reasoning behind it from both NicMals and the clubs position.
I wish him all the best and can never imagine booing him, even when taking a shot on goal (of course that thought could change in the heat of battle, but it's hard to imagine).Comment

Sad to see Mal go but understand his reasons. Always a player I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and his two goals in the 2012 grand final will always be remembered.
I think we now need to keep Biggs - I hope the posts earlier quoting SEN that Biggs has asked to be traded are as accurate as most SEN reports.

Having watched a couple of episodes of The Block, I don't think Darren had any choice in the matter.Comment

My guess is the compo pick for Mal will be around the end of 2nd round.
Then what we do with it will be interesting.....I'm guessing we may make a play for Patful now.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

- 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
