A mate of mine messaged me before the end of the game and said this: "You blokes skills are worse than the girls, I'm being seroius! its fffn that bad!" That's from a Carlton supporter and you know what? I had to agree with him! We have deplorable foot skills, absolutely horrible bar a small select few!

MB. Lloyd has become a pretender. Creates nothing but wins the BF. spare me. I would think JL will start looking over his shoulder. This is totally unacceptable. Recruiting Clarke and Thurlow is Eade thinking. Clubs fall for recycled players too often. We have had good success but we have got it badly wrong this time.Comment

It would nice if we could just fast forward 2 years so we can play young Gulden and Campbell! They at least look like 2 young footballers that can actually use the ball when they gather it!

Surprise surprise we dont capitalise when we have ascendancy
Skills disgraceful
Midfield pathetic
Make Hewett a mid, lose thw tag we dont have enough good mids to warrant a tagger
Mills a waste with 15 possessions put in the middle
Heeney forward or in the middle, dont talk about how he needs to be forward than play him as a floating defender for periods
Ronke to NEAFL he is broken
Blakey on the wing cant keep playing 5 possession games
Mccartin to get Reids fwd time, cant kick straight waste of time forwardComment

It's going to be a long year. A few points
1. McInerney should not have been picked. Good on him, but a real head scratcher. Feel for guys who bust their arse in the NEAFL and don't get rewarded. This has been going on for a while. I like the look of Blakey but he needs to play some reserves and get form and learn his craft
2. The balance of the team feels wrong. Can't really put a finger on it but feels like we dont have the right mix of talls and smalls / runners and inside players
3. When they promote players they need to play them in their best position not where there is a hole
4. We need to adjust to the new rules. Almost like we missed the AFL notification.
5. We have some players down on form - Hewitt is one. Another is Ronke and Mills has been ordinary but he missed a year of footy so guess that's understandable.
6. Our skills are sub-par. Our kick, handballing everything is below other teams.
7. I'm calling it - father time is catching the big Bud. He is slower, can't kick as far and his marking, never a strength, is now almost non-existent. Stop playing for frees mate.
8. I think we lack on field leadership
What to do?
1. Put your best team on the park each week
2. Make guys earn their spot and given them a spot when they earn it. Give them a run instead of dropping after one game.
3. Place a premium on skills at selection.
4. Get the team to move it faster. When we move it faster and straighter we look better
5. Teach Sam Reid to kick. Then Ronke. Then Papley. I'll stop here.
6. The club should be looking at its entire coaching panel this year and asking some hard questions, including of Horse.

Should have put a space between them and us early in second quarter. Their midfield, fed by Gawn, killed us in third quarter. Our midfield appeared to run out of gas but we were still in the game deep in the last quarter. Skill errors killed us. Don't understand criticism of Allir. Committed one bad kicking turnover. Heeney and Lloyd were worse. Rampe was great as was Jones. Buddy had a lot of possessions but was just off with his kicking. Hewitt blanketed Brayshaw in the first half but faded. Gawn was the most effective player on the ground .Spoonfed their midfield to advantage. Absolute key to the Demons. Dawson needs to be persevered with. Mcinerney looked mainly overawed. Thurlow had a shocker but was ok last week. 5 day break looked to have an effect but who knows? We did seem to tire but it happens when you are chasing backsides after Gawn set up their mids.Comment

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

- 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.

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.
