Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Thought it was worth bumping the Goodesy thread with more of his great work post-footy:
Adam Goodes kicks goals for Indigenous literacy: 'This is a basic human right' | Sport | The GuardianComment

There was also a piece in one of today's newspapers about another portrait of him - an entrant into this year's Archibald competition.Comment

He was on Studio Ten this morning.....they loved him.....and he looks very happy. That's all that matters.

Nice little acting cameo from the legend on Black Comedy last night. He still looks like he is in pretty good nick. As an aside the show is worth checking out.Comment

It's not massive overkill at all... the guy that sells fruit from the fruit barrow on the corner only last week said that it was a crock he was AOTY. I asked him why... and he said because he's a wanker.
WELL!!!
I asked him have you actually met Adam ever, real live, in person? Of course, the answer was no.
Well mate, how can you possibly know he's a wanker if you've never met him? I've actually met him quite a few times, and he's the nicest bloke you'll ever want to meet.
Told him to pull his ignorant head in.

At the grand final when the retirees went around and they announced Cyril Rioli, the crowd cheered loudly and they weren't even hawks supporters. It made me sad that Goodes didn't get to experience a farewell like that.Comment

On a positive note, I was in our nation's capital over the weekend and the plaque commemorating Adam's achievement as
2014 Australian Of The Year and his likeness were in fine form and looking good alongside Lake Burley Griffin (attachment 2203)
and at the National Portrait Gallery (attachment 2204).

In the wake of an A league goalie being racially abused on the weekend by being called a 'monkey', more than once, it will be interesting to see if this situation is handled better than the AFL handled the Goodes situation. Great article below discussing this.....
Jamie Young responding to racist taunt means A-League must now confront its Adam Goodes moment - Sport - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Hinds is a great sports journo and he doesn't go easy on the AFL in this discussion....and rightly so. So.....will the A League learn from the AFL's pathectic-ness?Comment
-
I think Hinds is drawing a long bow in comparing this with what happened to Goodes, or in suggesting that the A League needs to learn from how the AFL responded to Goodes' taunting.
There was nothing much wrong with the AFL's initial response when Goodes was vilified. And there have been a few subsequent incidents - sadly - involving other AFL players and I think these have been handled fine as well.
The booing that accompanied Goodes throughout the 2015 season was far more complex than an isolated instance of one supporter vilifying him, even if it had its roots in that incident. As Hinds notes, he was already a very high profile footballer, and his profile increased massively after he was granted the platform of being named Australian of the Year to initiate discussions within society about the impact of discrimination and vilification. That's not the situation the A League faces here.Comment
-
I think that is Hinds angle.....effectively nipping it in the bud, which I still contend the AFL did not do adequately after the initial 13 yo girl incident......which eventually lead to a champion being hounded out of the game by certain fans emboldened by this initial weak response.I think the A League can learn plenty from that.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.

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
