Sorry, I just had to laugh at your little “discussion”. Now gravedigger, I mean absolutely no offence with this, but lazy spelling (eg players names) and punctuation can irk some on here. In this instance, lazy capitalisation f i ... with autocorrect doing it’s job and changing an i to an I ... changed the whole context of your comment. I actually interpreted it as F L and it didn’t even twig it could have been misconstrued as f I though for consistency, I’d have thought you’d have gone with F I if you were intending to insult F L as such. Glad it was all sorted and curses to Siri and it’s autocorrect! It’s stuffed up many a SMS on me!Comment

If we get one player as good as Connor Rozee from the draft we'll have done very well.
Trouble with tall players is they take a long time to develop. I think we'll be trying to trade in some talls later in the year. Allegedly very few good talls in this year's draft too.

GS, you may not have meant offence, but I take offence. I have had a close family member with failing eyesight and when you don’t see well you don’t type well. I don’t think your comment was necessary. I suggest we talk about the football.Comment

For spectators (and I suspect players) the weather was terrible. I’m guessing 3 days of rain soaked the ground. The on-off rain during the game soaked goswannette & myself. Sure, it wasn’t snow and rain is part of footy (unless you have a roof), but not pleasant nonetheless. I doubt it was conducive to clean possession and disposal.
I’m a bit over Port supporters. Terribly one eyed and too often ferally rude (to the opposition players and occasionally opposition supporters - after a 47 point win, crappy comments to red&white wearers leaving the ground was a little unnecessary).
The umpiring was lopsided? I’d have thought we won the free kick count by about 80% the way the Port supporters carried on the whole day.
I’m sure Dane Rampe has thick skin and a good sense of humour, but I wonder how much he gets irritated by the nuffies in the crowd yelling for him to climb the goal post? It sure as heck s#!+s me to tears hearing it all game.

Meg my slight was more on autocorrect than visual impairment, so I apologise if you took offence. I won’t apologise to Siri for stuffing up a plethora of text messages for me with autocorrect (though I guess I could always turn it off) ... which was really the intent of my post.
Although, on reflection, my post actually had nothing to do with you as it was in response to gravedigger, so I’ll just agree about getting back to footy talk.Last edited by goswannies; 10 August 2019, 08:02 PM.Comment

Was a desperate move given we were getting smashed in centre hit outs and he’d lost composure in defence. From the moment he let that ball hit the deck (thinking it was OOTF), when he could’ve easily marked it, he seemed to lose confidence. Dixon had it over him from then on. I thought it was worth a shot.Comment

If you think we were poor, check out the scores of the later 2 games. Puts things a little in to perspective.
At least Lloyd found the footy.
Kennedy has been so poor he has to be injured.Comment

We had the highest score of the 5 losing teams today - if that counts for something!

Parker will almost certainly make the AA squad and is a pretty good chance to make the team - he's allowed an off day.

I did have to smirk when the afl.com.au match feed noted half way through the last qr that Port hadn't conceded a free kick since the second qr - I guess that's one way to look at that stat!Comment

Promising game from Blakey today. Played almost entirely on the wing and racked up 20, a career high. His acceleration generally gives him a chance to break free and dispose of it, which he usually does well.Comment

I guess the number of kicks count when selecting best players. How Lloyd can be put into the best when most of his kicks lead to turnovers. You should only count effective kicks and dedust ineffective kicksComment

- 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.
