Now, I once almost lost my SCG membership over Razor's infamous effort against Freo, ironically, a few years back. Let's just say my comments as he came up the race involved the threat of at least 37 breaches of criminal law. So I carry no brief for him.
But, we also know he loves stirring up a home crowd. So let's send him love. You never know'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

So am I right in saying that we are without Parker, Kizza and Buddy. It will be raining and we have Razor officiating. A slight headwind...Comment

Tough year for players but we may be better without an unfit buddy. A win here will be one for the ages.Comment

Fair to say there is a challenge in front of our team however let's remember that in the last three games we have had ten or more goal kickers each week. From that we have lost two players who kicked goals and Lance only kicked two in two games with Kieran kicking only two as well. Hardly a dent in our available scoring options. This is potentially a season defining contest and I for one feel confident especially given how well the "supporting" cast have gone recently.Comment

So now you have to assume that the changes to the team will be
OUT Franklin Kizza
IN Mcglynn McVeigh.
Towers gets another game he may just wear the vest this week.
Go Swans and look after yourself budComment

Reality check. Freo will eat Towers. Towers is a leading forward with very good foot skills and is 25 years old. BUT 2 contesting marks, 6 1%ers, in 9 games and averaging 1.5 tackles, 3.75 contested possessions. Freo will just knock him off the ball. Full game, unless the vest, with less then 8 possessions and 1 tackle. We need fighters, not lovers.Comment

Gee its all lining up for another fantastic chapter in recent Swans history - it would really be a win for the ages if we can get up on Saturday.
I've got a feeling we might just do exactly that however - don't know why, but I really feel we will be up for it big time on Saturday, and can get the job done.
Carn you bloods - redemption for 2014 begins on Saturday...."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

No Buddy, Jack, Parker, Smith. Should we cut our losses and rest our players for the following week? Wouldn't that AFL love that!Comment

It seems most think our in's will be McVeigh and McGlynn though Bird has shaded McGlynn in the last couple of NEAFL games. We also have two players that we have "rested" for this game, Rose and Davis. Would love to see one of them come in and tear up the match. We would probably get fined if we played them and won as it would be against the spirit of the competition as defined by the VFL. Sydney are not supposed to win these big games but we might get away with it as we are not playing Hawthorn. All the best for Buddy to get better quickly but it does not sound good.Comment

Spot on. Give me Bird over Towers, particularly in a high pressure game like this one will be.
Bird is a proven performer in big games, can play forward when needed and has kicked important goals. He can also play a run with role if needed.
To me it's a no brainer.
But as I've said before Horse seems to value Towers skill set and I'll be surprised if he's not in the 22.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I just worry that Bird looked gassed to me watching the ressies feed on the weekend. On the open expanses of Subi he will be found wanting 1st up in a high pressure final. I certainly rate Bird ahead of Towers, but all things considered would not drop Towers at his expense for this game...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

- 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.
