Back from the Riser, and there was a lot of noise tonight - much like this thread after p. 7!
Buddy was amazing. He had good support in Rohan, Parker, Kennedy, Rampe, Smith & Jones (I like to pair them), Heeney and everyone else - no passengers to be seen anywhere. Sammy was good forward and back.
Harry was good without setting the grass alight - rather indicates how much more we get from Papley. Deano seems to be the team handyman, worked solidly. Hard to pick who'll go out for Dan; I guess most would pick Hayward but he did well tonight, and Carlton is not a dud outfit, despite the score.
Go Swans!He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

I forgot to mention two great things tonight.
1. When the Carlton player got injured quite close to the spot where Rohan broke his leg, Rohan actually went over to see how he was doing and I think waved the trainer onto the field. Gary showed great sporting spirit and decency in this case.
2. The standing ovation for Lance Franklin after he kicked the 10th and the chant of Bud-dy around the ground was spine tingling. Wonderful game by Franklin and seriously one of the best individual performances I have ever seen. ( member for over 20 years now.)Comment

This game perfectly captures tippetts swans career - started well then got injured.
Too risky to pick him in a final imo even if his upside is better. Just too brittle.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Loved seeing Hewett trying to hand off to Buddy late in the game to try (unsuccessfully) & give him another one
But one thing I don't understand ... Buddy is allowed to run across George's wasn't he? Just not the Carlton player? If that's true, why couldn't George handball to Buddy (ie play on)? I know that Buddy usually runs around the back (away from the man on the mark) but the Blues would have been looking for that. Or have the rules changed since I played (which was a long time ago, I must admit).Comment

That was a lot of fun - I love the forwards kicking bags. Buddy was awesome and it was a good game to take my 5 year old. I really like the twilight games - best of both worlds for kids.

I was really impressed by Rohans game.. It was a great 4 quarter effort by him. Fingers crossed he stays injury free and keeps playing at this level for many years. He is so hard to match up on. I love our Ginger Ninja.Comment

Has anyone heard anything about Hewett's injury on the final siren? He landed awkwardly in the marking contest and limped off the ground with the physio/doctor. Really don't want him to be injured!
We are going to benefit from the week off especially now that we can't make top 4.

great win by the boys. But I do agree with Horse that the second quarter was very disappointing. We let our intensity drop incredibly in the second. Our pressure was nonexistent. Our boys were not providing and run, we were stagnant. If we are to win a flag we have to fix this now. We can't drop off in the second and let sides back into the contest. We did it last week too and if they had kicked straight we may have lost the match. The other thing is we did exactly what we did in the second last week we kicked out of defense in panic. Can't do that in a final you'll get punished. I'm just glad that in the third we lifted our intensity and gave them a real flogging. We needed to do this and without two mainstays we brought home the bacon.Comment

Too lazy to make a list - but Buddy's 10th goal has to make the top 10 Swans SCG moments. Reminds me of when Jetta finally got his first goal - not a moment which is relevant to the outcome of the game - but the passion and roar of the crowd was electric. Great momentComment

- 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.

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