It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
The Scarlatti Tilt - Richard Brautigan -
I should know better than to read this thread straight after a loss. Some people get way too nasty and personal. A bit more class would be nice. Not a good game but it is done now and hopefully we will wake up and play properly because of it.Comment

I thought the same at the ground. It seems Rance has been issued the same Golden Ticket that Stephen Silvagni used to have, where you can constantly scrag and hold, even when the ball isn't anywhere near, and the umpires just let it go. If Rance had been umpired the same way Grundy was then Buddy kicks 27 off his own boot tonight. Seriously.
That said, that wasn't why we lost. We still have nobody but ourselves to blame. I counted 142 brain farts by our players but I might have missed a couple.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

Devastated...really poor decision making in the last minute of the game...where was the leadership group? Where were the runners to tell Towers to kick the ball to Buddy? Where was the coach? Seriously unprofessional behaviour from all concerned...
Would like to echo the comments re Buddy and Rance...great contest to watch...well played by both..( I forgive Buddy his occasional lapses)
Kudos to Richmond...they didn't give up...kept persisting and deserved the win......
I was looking forward to a good year this year...mmmm not so sure about that now..this was a failure of communication on field and off..a professionally run football team does not lose in the last minute of a game..Comment

We should have lost to Brisbane a fortnight ago, and deserved to lose tonight. The Swans are a top 8 side at best. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Sure, the Swans have a talented list, but they're underperforming big time. If Franklin didn't play tonight, Sydney would have been hosed by a cellar-dweller, instead we go down by a point. The next two matches will be difficult, and to be honest, I think we'll lose to Hawthorn next week at the MCG and I wouldn't be surprised if North put us away at the SCG too. The season is long, which is lucky, because theres a lot of room for improvement.
BTW, I know this comes across as a "negative Nancy" type post, but its spot on as far as I'm concerned. Horse has his work cut out for him.Comment

Hannebury was fantastic tonight, time to make him captain. It would be nice to have a captain that leads by example and inspires the troops for a change, one who at least knows what a contest is.Comment

Lots of dumb plays today, I don't know why we have Mills doing the kick out after a point is scored. He will be amazing in a few years, but why put the extra pressure on him now when there are calmer heads in such a tight game? Re Hiscox and Towers, I wanted both to succeed, but better to find out now who can handle the pressure and who can't than in September. BJ would have been such a better selection, at least you know he has got the ticker even if his execution isn't the best.
Thank goodness that Tahlia, Reid and Rampe are all going to be available for senior selection again soon as I think we are getting a bit carried away with the youth who have mostly outperformed all expectations but should not be what we are banking on for the rest of the season.Comment

On Hiscox - I didn't see people being all upset when he was selected.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

McVeigh watch - very poor tonight. Way too many turnovers and passing to players under pressure. It was a good thing when his kicks fell short of a one on one rather than in front of a Tiger.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

And who might have been in our side to save the day for us if we didn't have the trade ban? I didn't see a scintilla of evidence connected to the trade ban.
There were quite a lot of us who had doubts on Hiscox. There was general disappointed with his performance int the NAB preseason games. He just so happened to have a pretty decent game in the NEAFL last week. I got the feeling that Horse thought Hiscox would run the Tigers ragged.
Of the senior listed players, Rose and Davis have been our best and certainly would have preferred them to Hiscox and Towers. Even Brandon Jack has been playing better.
I thought Robinson was added to the LTIL. I would elevate either Marsh or Newman, both have been consistently among our best players in the reserves. They can add some pace to the backline. Marsh has turned into a pretty solid defender. I'd bring one of them in and move Mills to the midfield. Newman is pretty decent at kick-ins as well and gets plenty of the ball.Comment

I thought Towers was OK tonight. Obviously he made his mistakes, but then again so did many others.
Certainly no reason for what he's copping.
Hope he keeps his spot next week.
Until players like him and Hiscox get a taste, we'll never know if they are going to make it.
McVeigh is the perfect example. If the coaching staff listened to everyone here when he was 'McHack' he would have dwindled away and never become what he did.
Sure he looks like he may be starting to look like he won't hang around too much longer (IMO) but he became a very valuable part of the club.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

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.

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.

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.
