I'm a redback member. It pays to belong. I got my ticket through the club and not through Ticketek.
We're sitting somewhere in the Brewongle stand. I'll know exactly where when I pick up my ticket on Wednesday.
I'm normally the ticket buyer for our group. This year, my friends are on their own.
the chances of missing out are far, far too high for my liking.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Had my doubts on Newman, but after watching him in yesterday's Grand Final, he definitely has a touch of class. During the pressure of the last quarter, danced around 3 GWS players and put in on a swans chest in the GF50 and then his snap for goal in the last quarter was something special. Though not sure if your first game should be a brutal Finals match. Might destroy his confidence.Comment

Given the quality of the GWS players Newman was up against, (there are probably more first round draft picks than the Crows senior team), the step up to a senior finals match might not be that hard.

Good to see nothing has changed here on RWO
. As if changing, unforced, one or two players will make a big enough difference. McGlynn in or out of Saturday's side we still wouldn't have won.
A legitimate question: was our bottom six the problem on the weekend? It is often stated that it is your bottom six that decides these big games.
The team needs to be better but I am not sure what the change needs to be. Were we out-muscled like 2014? I don't think so.
We did seem to be beaten around the contest which is supposed to be our strong point. The defence held up as best they could and can't be knocked. The forwards did okay but delivery was pretty ordinary. It does come down to our much vaunted midfield which, hopefully, just had an off day and will be back next week with vengeance."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

Still fuming Newman wasn't played during the year and will fume a whole lot more if we lose him to another team in trade period. Reckon just about every other team (other than the AFL Allstars GWS) has him on their trading radar.
Saw him live twice last year and looked a class above NEAFL standard with his movement and decision making. He has played even better this year, has a penetrating and accurate (maybe being accurate is his drawback?) kick. A huge error in not giving him a block of games to test him at senior level and now we're caught out with injuries at a critical stage of the year.Comment

We made a lot of mistakes (whether it be slipping over or kicking to opposition) in crucial places (eg their forward 50). I think that has a lot to do with their forward pressure.
Normally we find outlets from in close and then are able to spread it, but with the pace of the Giants they were able to put pressure on our players and force us to kick quickly. I hated the long kick into our forward 50 were there was just GWS players, but if they didn't do that, they would just get tackled with holding the ball. Not really sure what to do apart from try and apply similar pressure on their players. We are known for our two way running but that didn't feel like it was fully there on the weekend.
I don't think we necessarily need more speed for Adelaide so my ins would be:
Out: mills, Tippett
In: laidler, nankervisComment

Cunningham/Laidler for mills
Nankervis for Tippett
Towers for mcglynn
I said it a month ago, they should have given Laidler a game, cant expect the bloke to come in seemless after 10 weeks in the 2s otherwise he was a lock for Mills. Jones bloody unlucky
We can cover Mills this year and cunninham needs to be looked at considering his recent game time.
Would also consider Teddy so that Rampe can play up the ground a bit on Lynch. Rampes undersized against Tex and Jenkins
Id play Towers over Mcglynn, at least he will be there from the 1st bounce.
McGlynn is a 30+ vet playing with no confidence, the voices in his head are his own. Time to step aside, you have been given more than enough of a chance.
Towers just has one instruction - "Always kick long down the line, you are not to switch the ball or kick in the corridor"Comment

They're saying on the Swans website that Jones will be monitored during the week, but after being knocked out and carried off on a stretcher, surely questions will be asked re: concussion, if he is selected. Seems unlikely.Comment

I swear to god, you can't go anywhere in this city.....
A friend of mine is at the SCG medical centre getting scans done.
Wait for it.
Sit down.
McFantastic is there getting scans too.

- 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.

Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
