Must be grand at the moment to live in a delusional bubble where the umpires duly deliver whatever you want, when you need it........right on cue. I fu**ing hate umpires. On a brighter note, a lot to like about our Swannies tonight, when we get some better players back and the new boys, who were great and some 'never say die' attitude. Proud of them! Just don't mention umpires.........Comment

Newman and Hayward great. Florent classy, will get more of it. Aliir was rusty, but worked his way into it. Jack battled on well, although he's underdone. Reid was excellent. We need more from Parker, who looks hobbled, and Hannebery. Mills was poor most of the night, but kept trying. Marsh gets the most out of himself. Fox moves a little slowly for his role. Naismith kept trying.
Buddy's a champion.
We really need the grunt of Heeney to free up those older players a bit.
Lloyd our best. Very consistent. Strong mind.

I thought Dogs were the better team. And I'd prefer we aren't 0-2 but I thought there were some promising signs from the youngsters. The old guard (Hanners, Parker, even Jack) lifted in the last Q too. Optimistic that we'll put another nail in Nathan Buckley's coaching career next Friday night.Comment

I completely agree goswannies - we keep drifting in and out of games too much, but that passage of play at the start of the 4th, if we can gradually extend play like that into longer parts of matches, will stead us well for the season ahead. A much better effort tonight, and perhaps with just some luck (something we will never get against a team with extra players on the field) we might have won the game. The Mills Rushed Behind call really did create a huge momentum change - I know they'd just kicked a goal before it, but it wasn't on the back of an amazing shift of momentum. That one hurt us badly.
Still doesn't mean I'm not livid with another game against the fairypuppies where we got bent over the rack by the umpires - in particular that Hosking fool (he is on my list - I'll be berating umpires on the way out at every game I go to in Sydney this year at this rate). But there was a lot of spirit shown tonight, and I reckon some seriously good footballers on show for the first time as well. Hayward in particular I thought was excellent in the 2nd half."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

It was a huge effort considering Parker and Hanners were down and Kennedy was targeted as he was in the GF. We really shouldn't have even got close considering we were down a rotation. Hayward and Florent add much needed pace to our side which can be made to look slow by the Dogs' quick ball movement
Cunningham's effort against Bontempelli was embarrassing. At least give a contest and if he still marked it then credit to Bont. But it was basically an uncontested possession to Bont.Comment

Lloyd had a top game too. Non stop runningHe ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

That was a dreadful decision. Sure give the free kick (Even though it really wasn't there). But what the @@@@ was the 50m penalty for. As bad as the Allir holding call, or the Mills rushed behind, or the Jones HTB when he got crunched as soon as he got it. We got a couple of lucky calls, but they got a hell of a lot more over the night, just like on grand final day."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Legitimately thought the Swans were better than the dogs tonight. The Dogs just made the most of their opportunities, half of which were from the umpires.
The GF I thought we had a bad run but in the end the Dogs were marginally better, but tonight I thought we were terrific and to get robbed in this way after the GF is just heartbreakingComment

As a former 'spearing left footer'
, I love Newman's left foot. He looks promising with our need for better forward delivery. Florent looks classy and fast, and Hayward could really be something. Very impressed with those three.

- 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.
