Ever the pessimist, I went into this game thinking that if we got within 5 goals of Port, I'd be relatively happy.
Now, I'm absolutely ecstatic!! Go the Mighty Bloods!!Comment

I'm not one to tip Sydney just because I barrack for them but I did tonight and was genuinely confident...made the most of the $2.40 odds too ;-)Twitter @cmdil

Great to be at that game. Relentless pressure and hunger for the ball. Choked Port up over and over.Comment

What a game! I think the disaster of that last day in September has now been redeemed! A weight off their collective shoulders. Bring on the Hawks.
While the great effort in defence is being lauded, and rightly so, at last we saw our forward line functioning about the best I have seen with Buddy and KT both there playing their roles, and with others actually there to feed off them and kick goals. For the first time it seems to have worked. The combination of Towers, Lloyd, Rohan and Heeney rotating forward of centre was impressive.
The 'old firm' mids were at their best and Macca showed us just how important he is to the team structure. KT's teaming with Mike Pyke in the ruck, with his Mummy-like presence, may be just what they have desperately needed.
Go Swannies!!

Kieran Jack was super tonight. Good to have him back...Comment

Great effort so many quality performers.
I was just reading Ken Hinkley's wiki page and it says he is the cousin of Gary Rohan?!?The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

That was a flash-back to 2012. Nice spread of goal kickers - Buddy & Tippett kicked only 4 of our 14 goals. I think Pyke is really enjoying the assistance from Tippett in the ruck. He did more around the ground than I've seen for about a year. I was not that impressed by Rampe last week, but he was amazing last night.Comment

The Swans tore em apart - for four quarters .....
That Crappy song at the start didn't work ... Songs are for post match ...Comment

I was confident too about tonight and tipped us - the adelaide oval really suits our style of play and we always play poorly in rd 1. I uad my $$$ on 1-39 however
I missed the game but heard the last quarter on the radio in the car on the way home. The adelaide commentary crew were very complimentary and incant wait to sit down and watch the replay today
Id argue its still very early days, but the rumours of our decline have been greatly exaggerated....
Oh and Isaac Heeney - gee he is going to do the #5 proud, and gee he goes just as well as the previous incumbent did

I was there and the atmosphere was incredible at this stunning venue. The two small (ish) pockets of Swans supporters yelled and sang themselves hoarse, I hope you could hear us on the TV.
Great game, intensity from both sides but we were just cleaner in close and moved the ball with more purpose, expect for the three long bombs in five minutes to FF when there was only a Power player in the vicinity.
Tippett has really lifted this year, now a great combination with Pyke.
Heeney is headed for gun status, does it all even after just two games and can't believe Mills is rated as highly - nice!
The backline was brilliant, all of them.
Don't underestimate the importance of McVeigh as he is a very talented and very smart footballer who organises things brilliantly.
The mids were all excellent, the outside runners all had influence, even Towers who is finally starting to look like he belongs.
I could go on but this was just simply a great win against a flag fancy at their intimidating home ground. To keep them to just 6 goals was brilliant. Now they must bring that game next week or that team of first rounders will beat us!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.
