Wow. This is major. Eddie jumping camp looks like he expects an instant regime change. Go Richard!
I like the current Swans management but love Richard.
I wonder what, in the AFL's response to the Goodes saga caused Richard to pull the pin out of this hand grenade?Comment

Wow.
When Andrew Pridham said we had bigger fish to fry at the AFL, he really meant it.
Good on you Dicky. About time you came out and exposed them for what they are.
Can someone please tell me whose side Eddie is on now?
Can you @@@@en believe he's denying any knowledge?
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

The first use of the term, in the second sentence, could be either - ie the "his" is ambiguous. But later on, the following links the whingeing to McGuire, not Colless.
This is what I?ve been screaming about for years and it?s always been thrown back as ?whingeing McGuire? and all that sort of stuff. Now it?s laid bare.Comment

I think Eddie means he has been griping on Collingwood's behalf, but in his usual foot-in-mouth style has ended in confusion. One thing you can be sure of is that he will put his club first and foremost.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Why are we hearing this now? I don't understand the timing.
We copped our ban and the watered down COLA. We should've heard this when the restrictions were imposed. I don't see the point now, the damage is done.Bloods

I'm not 100% sure of the timeline regarding the trade ban and Colless' employment at the Swans, but surely as he is no longer officially aligned or affiliated with the club, he has less of a noose around his neck? It's a great way of damaging the credibility of the "overlords" and displaying the attempted manipulation by head office "for the good of the game" when all clubs know that the only one looking after you is yourself.Comment

You are right on the money Wauchope,unfortunately people in the media who may have not been biased before have been influenced and tainted by Mcguire's constant tirades against the swans, I cannot watch commentary of our games now as they may me sick with their one sided views ..whatever happened to impartiality and calling the game for what it is . I simply mute the sound now because if we are in front on the scoreboard they are looking for ways for whichever team it is to get back into it and if we are behind they simply sink the boot in ,cannot win ...., like most here I love the swans and the way we play the game . I really hope we can upset wet toast or freo in the first week of the finals and kick our way to another flag ..c'mon the bloodsComment

Richard Colless is a genius. Never forget that.
At the beginning of the year, after complaining to Andrew Pridham that they should not have just bent over and taken it, Andrew told me that we bent on this because there are bigger fish to fry.
I believe this is what he was talking about.
By bringing this out now, he's showing the rest of the AFL community exactly what is happening behind closed doors.
There's still plenty of time in this season to lift the restriction on our trading.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

- 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.
