Mitchell is having surgery tomorrow and will miss the entire 2019 season. I do feel sorry for him, but I don't feel sorry for the Hawthorn supporters.Comment

Ohhhhhhh poor Tom.
Not.
Now who will the poos and wees give the ball to.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Tib fib fracture. It does depend a little on the severity (compound, cominuted etc) but even at its best, it’s not good. Not good at all. Think Nathan Brown.
I had the “pleasure” over a decade ago & I’m still affected. But elite athletes do have the best facilities and medical/rehab care giving the best opportunity for recovery.Comment

I'm not proud to admit it, but it turns out my sympathy for Tom is comfortably outweighed by a gloating pleasure in the blow it represents for Hawthorn fans. There, I admitted it. If that makes me a small person then so be it.
And isnt that double tib/fib break the same thing that ended Jamie Lawson's career - leg never recovered properly from the surgery? Presumably there have been advances sincethen though.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

And it was followed by a similar collection of Goodsey! What a bonus!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

Thanks also from me Stevoswan. Hadn't seen that footage against Adelaide before, the Wiz must've kicked a big bag that day. I recall his Open Mike interview when Sheahan asked him his fondest footy memory to which Capper replied seeing the Swans win the 2005 flag. It showed his true love for the club.Warwick Capper....

This is more so what he used to be doing but worth a look.
Check the young Hanners on the right
, from the afl.com.au main page.
He looks about twenty years older now but that's what ten years of 'bash and crash' footy will do to you!

My manager is a Hawthorn fan. He was quite upset when the news of Tom's broken leg was announcedComment

I was at the Final at Waverley against the Hawks when Wazz took the “Mark of the Century”. One of the two highlights of the day (the other being his 100th for the season).Warwick Capper....

A year or two later I was in Queensland on family holiday. Dad took me into a clothing store called Umano (owned by Christopher Skase) when a large (to a kid) shop assistant sauntered up to me and (in rapid, almost incomprehensible English) said “Do you want my autograph?” It was Capper. He was nice and chatty, signed a Brisbane Bears flyer (which I’ve since lost) and before I left I told him I had a poster of him taking the mark on Landford. He told me to post it up to him and he’d sign it for me.
I returned home, got a post tube, wrote a letter and mailed the Langford mark poster (& a couple of others) off to him with a letter. After I mailed it, I realised I forgot to include return postage
Months went by and I was resigned to losing my color poster of Wazza’s self-proclaimed Mark of the Century when the post tube arrived in the mail marked Return to Sender. I still remember being disappointed but relieved that I got my posters back.
I opened the tube and pulled out the posters to find them all signed and included a couple of extra photos of himself standing in front of undearwear models (odd thing to send to a kid).
The Wiz was either really smart or really cheap, avoiding buying stamps by marking it Return to Sender. Either way, he was pretty generous to a kid who barracked for his former (& future) team. I still have the posters and the Langford one is framed.
I’ll always have time for Waz as he makes time for others.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
