A great win.
A few things. A whopping game by Kennedy. Sinkers is better as a ruck. Heeney is having one hell of a year and attacks any contest like a total beast. That?s why we should keep playing Florent and Hayward, as they will be a bit inconsistent, but by god they add something and will keep getting better. We will miss McVeigh.. and Fox did a good job
But two big shout outs - Ronke. Could be Papley?s partner in crime. And Jones has played some good games. But I haven?t seen him truly help us win one in the way he did today.
Oh, and I?ve never bagged Horse.
And Stevic is an outrageous .... (finish this sentence for me)Comment

Brilliant - watched it early morning in Casablanca, woke everyone up in the last quarter. But how offensive to our boys is Dwayne Russell suggesting that we are a one-man team and today will prove that either way? It's either hatred of our club or utter stupidity. Either way I want 5 minutes out the back with him to straighten him out.Comment

it was an outstanding performance from our lads to stick at it and run over the top of them in the 4th. Whether it's because we wanted it more, we are fitter, we had momentum, whatever, who cares? We were brilliant and it's great to see the young guys becoming more and more important to the team. I'm looking forward to the home game against North next week to see a continuation of this form. I just wish it was a day game!Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

The humble pie I?m eating is quite tasty. I had a crack at the match committee for the team selections - my apologies to John & co.Comment

I had a bit of time so read this thread from start to finish. Wow. It was interesting and entertaining. We certainly have our fair share of fair weather supporters who are quickly keen to lay the boot when it looks like a loss. Some of you must have whiplash from the U-turn that was done in the fourth quarter.
As I mentioned in another thread, today showed how reliant we actually are on JPK rather than Buddy. You take him out of the last quarter and we probably lose by 30. What an unassuming legend he is. So glad that we got him all those years ago from Hawthorn. Whatever Mitchell does for them will never compare to Joey?s impact for us.Comment

Papley is an automatic in for me. He has what they call the X factor and at times he does some brilliant. Though he has had a quite year. I thought maybe JPK has succumbed to age and injuries, silly me! He is back! Still stunned we won and it was a strange match to watch. Loved that Robbie Fox mark and he could be a good forward option worth considering?

I love in the Twitter feed the short clip of the swanies crowd all singing the song!!!!
Literally that is the first time I have seen everyone singing it with such passion.
And rightly so; this really was one of the most stirring wins i have seen the swans do.
So far down at 3/4 time, but to then just blow them away, awesome!doof-doof

I don't think the win takes away from the reaity of the problems that the coaches have in dealing with Longmire. Today Longmire refused to man up. Instead he allowed an extra back for them. he allowed this for two quarters, the middle quarters. Funnily they actually seemd to get on top in those quarters. As soon as Longmire re-instituted the man on man scenario we started to win the ball again. If you have belief you can win you will. but if you don't believe in the game plan you will get flogged. We were at the precipice just before three quarter time. But Longmire relented to his line coaches and re-instituted the man on man scenario.
What that did was free up players all over the forward line because the Cats players had to match up a player. The mids got more confidence in banging the ball in and keeping it low. Notice they kept the ball as low as possible and not just bombing it as they did in most of the second and third. I'm certain that this was forced on Horse by the line coaches. I say that because I have seen matches in which Horse has refused to change the game plan and we have lost. Especially against Hawks.Comment

I was wondering how someone could turn this inspiring victory into a criticism of Longmire and now you?ve satisfied my curiosity.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. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
