I've had it with the AFL. The club needs to go after them here or I will be so disappointed. No rolling over, no backward step, no being the nice guy, or one with manners.
Apparently the AFL only responds to bitter screeching when its done incessantly to the point where it's all you ever hear, and history and facts can be rewritten and reimaginged to suit your raging delusions that you periodically yell out from your tv show, or radio breakfast program or the pedestal that gets you more clout in AFL house than any other, Collingwood Club President.
I'm willing to go kicking and screaming about this and Pridham and the Swans board better bloody well be there with me, or I'm going to seriously reconsider what I get out of investing thousands of dollar every year in my team. I certainly didn't pay to have the honour of seeing them maltreated by a governing body that would exist if it wasn't for fans like me.
Those uppity @@@@wits go around trying to act like their competition is somehow better than any other sport in the world and that we should all just sit there in awe of their apparent magnificence. What an amateurish, unprofessional pack of self-satisfying ingrates they are. EAD.Comment

I wonder if this ban will lead to a wages explosion at the Swans. The club's negotiating Han with senior players has just been significantly weakened. Player 'x' with four years experience, threatens to leave, we can't trade for a player which really curtails.our ability to trade at all. What are our options, cough up or lose the player for bugger all. The more I think about thus, the more I realise how punitive it is. The club should fight it.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Maybe now if we want a good player, we encourage him to come off contract, set his terms and enter the draft. Just like Luke Balls way to Collingwood.Comment

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

look im over this whole thing
as i first stated i would rather keep the academies and have 500 something kids going thru and becoming footballers and it appears that the AFL is acting tough in one area so we can keep the academies !
these academy kids then filter out into sydney / nsw and recruit their friends to play in a local team etc
for the swans to survive we need more and more kids wanting to play AFL in sydney / nsw so that more and more come and watch the games and become members
look how successful the Western Sydney Wanderers are already.........their supporters are going crazy and membership in the space of a few years doesnt even get you a seet at a home game which is such an amazing reality already !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

So Andrew Ireland was pretty dogmatic. He said the swans intention was to put this before a full meeting of the commission.You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

Yes, I pointed out this same observation from this article....On the AFL website !
Read the caption under the photo of Buddy.
AFL tells Swans: Trade players in and COLA will be scrapped ASAP - AFL.com.au
It's just absurd, capricious and misleading, everybody knows he came to the Swans twice, and was even knocked back the first time.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

I think the issue is bigger. AI sounded like he was not too fussed about this trade period I think his concern is more about how the AFL is operating
Billon Mclachlan's style of back room deals does not work in this environment.
This is the end he and Mark Evens need to goYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

- 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.
