I apologise Annie if you are unwell. No I don't know you except from your hundreds of posts here that I have read over the last few years, and from those I know you truly love the game and our team. Also that you hate going to ANZ stadium. You used the word morose so that is the word I was responding to. However, if you are in any way suffering to the point of missing seeing our boys display their skills, passion and tenacity in a final that they have fought so hard to reach, then I truly feel much sympathy for you. If you have to stay home, I will be thinking of you.Comment

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I'm not buying some journo telling me Goodsey might be booed off the ground in Perth.
The Swans, Goodes in particular have risen above the few remaining misfits now.
The show continues on Sat night, the boys have worked against the odds to have another crack, they want and need us there as well.
If we win the right to go back to Perth, they have nothing to lose, and West Coast have plenty to lose.
West Coast are now hot favs to be the premiers, but you just have to keep dreaming whilst you are still a live chance.
Our family will be there.Comment

As a Victorian I would give my right arm to be there next Saturday!It is a historic occasion. Definitely Shawrey's last game in NSW and potentially Goode's last game full stop if we lose. Can be a bittersweet thing but better to celebrate the end of 2 magnificent careers than let it just fizzle. Of course that is just consolation if we lose, which we won't.We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!Comment

I know where you're coming from Annie. I have felt the same way for most of the season. Mine is still a hangover from last years GF which still hurts, and up until Saturday, the feeling the boys had lost the Bloods spirit. If we did by some miracle win the premiership this year I might retire from AFL altogether because it could never get any better than that.Comment

Is it really a given that Goodsey will retire? I distinctly remember at the end of last year there was a lot of talk that he'd retire then too.
Then he announced he was always planning on playing on in 2016, and might even go into 2016. There is no doubt he is playing well enough to go another year. The fact that he can still burn opposing players 15 years younger than him in the fourth quarter of tight games says to me his body is still in good shape, and there is no doubt he is a very cagey old fella out there on the field. Aside from his position in the indigenous community, he is a professional footballer through and through and I'm not convinced guys like him ever really want to quit.
Obviously winning the GF this year with almost a quarter of our starting 22 injured is a major stretch but even if we don't win and Goodsey announces he wants to go again in 2016 then it'll be no small consolation to my mind.

You're OK Margo, thank you again for passing on your Grand Final ticket last year, when due to your circumstances, you were unable to make it.
CheersComment

- 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.
