Dogs grinding down the Giants..... I suppose a free kick advantage of 15 - 5 will do that. I effing hate that team.... Phil Davis just told an umpire "You just don't understand". He was right, the commentators backed him but I suspect that umpire understands alright. He understands that his employer would like another fairytale perhaps....this disgusting bias towards Melbourne teams (or against Sydney teams) is ruining this league.Comment

How many others on here are genuinely pissed off that Josh Dunkley is playing for one of my most hated teams the Western Bulldogs and not us! If the recruiters truly rated him as much as they should have then I have no doubt that he would be in a Swans jumper, no matter how much his dad had issues with Roos and the club... We certainly made an error in judgment there...

My earlier post stating the free kick count was 14-5 (amended to 15-5) was 40 minutes ago. The Giants still have 5 frees.
They have recieved 5 frees in almost an entire game! The umpires don't even try to hide it now.....and the Giants have just given up trying.

5 free kicks in a match must be some sort of record. It seems almost impossible for this to happen.Comment

After seeing what happened in the cricket overnight, I am loving this line from Titus O'Rielly:
"As for the Power, with finals on the line, this performance was as bewildering as Joe Root claiming he isn’t a cheat." Spot on.....

I just realised, that of all the top 8 teams (which I am assuming will remain the same after next week, with the same top 4), the team I least want to see win is Geelong. Surprising, I know. Largely that is due to C. Scott.
I have to confess that I don't bear the same hatred towards the Bulldogs/fairypuppies as others. It's not their fault they were the beneficiaries of dubious umpiring. And I was moved by the great emotion their fans felt from the result, much as we were when we won in 2005 and everyone wished us well. That could easily have been regarded as an AFL-scripted story line too, but nobody is suggesting that (helped that Andy D had thrown everyone off the scent by calling our footy ugly). Even if the sliding tackles that nobbled Hannebery et al in the granny were deliberately intended to injure (and I'm not sure that they were), I hold that more against the player than the team. Not so sure I like Luke Beveridge though. He , like quite a few senior coaches, seems to have thug/bully aspect to him which is offputting.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)

So the Saints are prepared to offer Bradley Hill $900,000 a year and he is contracted to the end of 2021. Didn't someone else recently transfer to them on similar terms? Gee, the rest of the squad must be on bread and dripping.Comment

I watched the first 3/4 of the Giants/Bulldogs game, it was the most biased umpiring I've seen this season. I'm not surprised by the final result, the Giants players seemed genuinely disheartened.
The one that stands out in my mind as the worst was Johannisen being wrapped up in a perfect tackle in the Giants F50 and somehow the decision being holding the man against the Giants. The only possible justification the umpire could have would be they assumed Johannisen did something clever (he didn't).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

‘THE AFL has made a stunning interpretation change to the studs-up rule less than 24 hours after it was blasted by Richmond coach Damien Hardwick.
Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt was penalised twice for using his studs in a marking contest during Sunday's win over West Coast.
While the AFL said both decisions were correct, they have made an immediate change to the interpretation of the rule ahead of round 23. ‘
So ... Hardwick complains, AFL change the rule. H’mmm Longmire, time for more complaining?

You couldn't write Vic bias more clearly than the overturning of the Toby Greene rule as soon as a Vic player gets penalised for it.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.

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.

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
