On reflection the game was won off the back of 2 extended sling tackles that weren't rewarded free kicks and a soft supposedly extended tackle resulting in a free kick to Burgoyne. I thought our odds were too short for us to win the game.

Agree- Hope we lose every game from now on and Longmire gets the boot. Feel like tearing up my membership. Pack of losers out there and ALiir Aliir cant get a game. Are you serious Longmire???? Same old tactics by Clarkson, little dingy passes, uncontested possessions almost double ours and Longmire does nothing!!!Comment

Our team was not good enough to overcome a team that had a point to prove. Hawks were dismissed before the game started and had plenty of incentive.
Lack of players on the interchange hurt us. Our baby players just lacked the nous to get us through. This will change as the games they play help accumulate the experience they need to succeed. We can still play finals
The future is so bright I need to wear shades.
I JUST HATE BEING BEATEN BY HAWTHORNComment

Horse does deserve criticism. Yes he won a flag, but it isn't like he inherited the Lions. He had the benefit of coaching a stacked side. This season is likely to be a fluke in many ways...the Swabs are still in MUCH better position than Hawthorn. But the Swans need to continue to push and improve the youngsters. Sure wish Cunningham was out there, too!Comment

The worst call of the night was the one against Towers mind you (who I thought was pretty decent again tonight) - if it was 'correct' by the rules of the game, then the laws are wrong and should be changed.
There is no way the loss can be blamed on umpiring though - we were 7 points up and shut up shop, instead of continuing to take the game on and finishing them off. They got luck as they always do and we paid the penalty. Would of liked the clear HTB free to be paid in the dying seconds though 30 out from our goal though - Hawks player took possession took a player on and dropped it cold. But the umps had swallowed the whistle by that stage..."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

We have probably had the best collection of players in the last 5 years, at the least a midfield better than anyone else's. You say we won 1, I say with Clarkson at the helm, or a tactically astute coach we probably win between 3 - 5.
Hawthorn play a non-contested kick and mark game because they can't play hard in and under. So do you think the coach might have prepared them by saying you have to play tight and take away their marking. Sure we will lose one-on-ones but do you think losing say 10 of them would be more damaging than -68 marks.Comment

I was absolutely screaming at Mills after that kick, but after calming down a bit I think we need to cut him some slack. He was absolutely spent by then with only 2 players on the bench, and it just looked like a very tired kick to me.Comment

- 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
