Chillin' with the strange Quarks -
In Melbourne for business this weekend so going to make the effort and get to the game. Last time at the MCG was the 2012 GF.
My last minor round game at the MCG was the infamous Barry Hall three 50 metre penalties game against the Hawks :-(
We're due against them.Comment

Saw LRT today as he descended and I ascended an escalator (KONE, looked like a 2006 model). Looked fit and had a slightly more LRT hairct than the one he had at the end of his glorious career, but ascertaining if he was up for a game this weekend with more certainty was a bit awkward on a crowded escalator.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

With Zac Jones penning a new 2 year deal, this might be the ideal game to bring him in.
He'll be up and about, and he's a hard nut....Come on Horse, you know you want to.
So slight change to my last, 'hoped for' changes....
OUT : Goodes, Towers
IN : Robinson, JonesWhenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I suspect hawthorn of 2015 is a bit like north last year ... flat track bullies.
Thrash lesser teams, but are beatable by good sides . Getting a bit oldComment
-
Flat track bullies?! You're dreaming. Ruthless is a better word to describe Hawthorn.
And as far as being a bit old. The respective average ages of the clubs last game was: Hawthorn - 26y 2m Sydney - 27y 3m.
But we can fix that by replacing Goodes and Shaw with Rose and Abe Davis. (
That was supposed to be sarcastic, but doesn't sound all that bad.)
Anyway, I doubt that Goodes will be replaced for this game. I think all of the players from last week that played in the GF will hold their spots. It will just be who replaces Towers, with Jones, Bird and Cunningham being the the main contenders. I am leaning toward Jones because he has both pace and physicality.Comment

I'm always amazed by how the "Changes" threads on RWO matches the Game Day thread for length. Wasn't always that way. No change.Comment
-
I'm liking the idea of jones in for towers. A hard but with some pace could be more than useful against the Hawks. I'm keen to see Robinson play seniors but another week I thinkComment
-
Surely Shaw has to go, and Goodesy is a good bet to be dropped too. Puns aside I'm very serious!Comment

Longmire is so conservative in his team selections that I'd be surprised if there is much change at all.
Every time Shaw gets the ball I expect an error. I'd love to see a change there for one of the younger players such as Robinson. Whenever our backline gets pressured we make lots and lots of errors and you can bet they'll be pressured this week. Rampe should also have rest. His poise and composure has gone anholiday in the ressies would be good for him.Comment

Agree, especially on Shaw. I too wish Horse would be more bold and proactive with selections. I struggle to see how he and the coaching panel don't see what most of the fans and most of us on RWO see and do what is necessary.......I know that sounds a bit 'know-allish', but our team has deficiencies that need to be addressed. The teams attitude, when right, will see us beat more than we lose to, but at finals time, it may not be enough.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.
