Today's a draft of your epitaph -
Gutsy gutsy win - hawks better team overall but bad kicking is bad footy. We hung in all night and showed that the bloods spirit is still alive.
First step towards redemption complete tonight - we most certainly need to improve a lot from here but the psychological boost from that will be huge!
Could be a huge result in the context of the season - 2 games clear of them now. No excuses not to hit the bye at worst 8-3 now if not 9-2.
Enjoyed that so much - as the hawks fans were well and truly warming up mid last quarter to heap more @@@@ on the swans fans - they left very quietly

Now, are any of you Victorian Swans fans willing to get in the face of Clarkson? An assault charge issued to the Hawks coach would probably top off the night nicely.Comment

Great win, I don't care who played better. I also don't know if I dislike a player in the AFL more than Sam Mitchell. Ever since he got Hall to concede those two 50M penalties by needling him all the way up the ground I've loathed him.
No analysing who did what or who played poorly, but Hanners, Jetta, Reid and Parker get special mentions. Macca was awful until he went forward and won us the game, so he's redeemed himself!Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

The intensity and pressure were great from both sides. It's a treat for all footy fans to see that kind of game.
We were good when we needed to be and lucky too, but you need both to beat Hawthorn at the MCG, or anywhere for that matter.
I wonder what odd you could have gotten that neither Buddy nor Roughy would kick a goal. It was a bizarre game with so many twists and turns.Comment

Oh and i must apologise for writing goodesy off earlier in the year. Did a really important role for the team tonight, especially as buddy couldnt get into the game. One should never write off a champion.

There will be more doughnuts for Buddy this week. If he continues like this he'll get fat.

McVeigh was under intense pressure for many of his disposals ... He was still very good , others with more time stuffed it up .Comment

I'm happy about the win, but a "sliding doors" Devil's advocate post ... if Cyril had clean hands in the last 30 seconds and RWO would be in melt-down.
BUT Clarko is so disingenuous in his presser, I'll take our sliding door outcome.Comment

To be fair, Goodes hasn't played like that all year. He was physical, aggressive and played with intent. Easily his best game all year. I was very happy to see him play like that - he stays in the 22 as long he keeps it up.
I was extremely encouraging that we seemed to mix up our game plan a bit tonight. The fact that we had fewer inside 50s, but scored nearly every time we went in with no marks to our big forwards was a refreshing change from our "bomb it on the heads of Tippett/Franklin" strategy.
On the downside, Hawks were missing Hodge and with decent kicking would have beat us comfortably. We still need a bit more fitness to run through the game and a couple of new players. Goodes has come good, but I'm not seeing much improvement from Shaw. He's the one who would go in my book.Comment

No one challenged that Cyril's run along the forwards flank boundary where - from my couch - he looked like he was out of bounds. All I heard the Ch7 commentators say was how mercurial he is. For me, it should have been a throw in.Last edited by goswannies; 23 May 2015, 10:50 PM.Comment

Loved Reids game first and foremost.
Nothing from Kizza Franklin and Kennedy has much better in him but 4 points banked. We won't play the Hawks in the gf this year.
Was important to start the way we did and I thought after the free against Lloyd we were done but we stuck in there.
Goodes is back. McVeigh critical at the end.
Such an important win.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

During the call, Richo made the comment that Sammy Reid seems to "float" in the air at times when taking his hangers. The others were derisive & mocking.
Richo, I agree. Sam reminds me a bit of how Michael Jordan used to float or hang in the air.
Capper used to do it an bit too, but he often used to assist with his hands for a bit of leverage.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.
