"Play like you can’t lose." -
I seem to remember Nick's kicking 7 goals for us one day. I think it was in between Plugger going (for the 1st time) and Hall arriving.Comment

Nicksy is part of the 2005 "bloods culture". That "attitude" (if you will) is highly prized out there in the bigger footy world.
Having your team play with that "attitude" and passion for what they are doing is what every team wants.
To have your coach die in such sudden and tragic circumstances, then the "camp" they organise to help you heal from that trauma backfires... there's a lot of broken kids who need fixing.
I believe Nicksy can help that broken.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

Apparently Hanners fractured his foot tripping over the back steps at his sister's house.
First Rampe, then Mills and now Hanners.
Poor Hanners hasn't had much luck lately.Comment

Adelaide are heading into a rebuild phase like us. Hopefully for Nicks' sake the Adelaide management and fans are patient.

Wow, have a look on Instagram at what Kieran Jack, Alex Johnson and Jeremy Laidler have been up to! I bet Lomgmire is glad they waited till after they retired/left the Swans.Comment

Kurt Tippett has moved back to the Gold Coast with his partner and nine-month-old son to take up a job. He is also helping coach local junior footy players in an off-season training camp.
So I guess we won’t be seeing young Tippett in the Swans Academy.

I just read this on Wikipedia about Jesse White. I knew the first bit (played in SANFL Glenelg’s grand final win) but I didn’t know the rest (Glenelg BnF winner + announced retirement). Good way to go out!
‘In 2019, Jesse won the SANFL premiership and the Glenelg Football Club J H Eller Best and Fairest award and announced his retirement.’
This is what @Blash1975 had to say on Twitter:
‘So proud of Jesse, much maligned throughout his career, he had a fantastic season, he put our club on his shoulders in the finals. I wish he’d go again but what better way to go out. He’s part of Bay folklore now. Best wishes in retirement.’
Hey, we develop our boys well at the Swans!
Wonder if he will stay living in Adelaide. He was born in Melbourne, grew up in the Gold Coast, drafted by the Swans so lived in Sydney, moved to Melbourne to play for Collingwood, then moved to Adelaide to play for Glenelg. Hard to say where Jesse’s ‘home’ is!Comment

Article about Sam Murray looking for another chance after his drug suspension: 'Driven' former Pie desperate for another chance after drug ban - AFL.com.au. We're not listed among the clubs supposedly interested, which is not surprising.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Adelaide Advertiser rates Jordan Foote as one of the SANFL's most likely to be drafted mature age prospects
No Cookies | The Advertiser
JORDAN FOOTE23, Eagles
If any club is looking for a player ready made to step into an AFL side they would do well with Jordan Foote.
The former Sydney Swans was dynmaic in his first SANFL season at Woodville-West Torrens, averaging 24.7 disposals per game at 84 per cent efficiency.
Foote was also No. 1 in the league for inside 50s (5.8 per game) and second in tackles (6) while also winning almost five clearances each match.
It was no surprise he took out the Eagles' club champion award.
He is physically capable and keen on another shot at the AFL after six appearances on the Swans across four seasons.
A torn ligament in his foot derailed his 2018 campaign and he was delisted.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.

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.
