Not sure what is up with the Giants.Comment
-
Giants tried to play an ultra attacking game, which is actually pretty easy to pull apart if you know it's coming. All very predictable. After half time, GWS knew they couldn't make finals so threw in the towel. A bit like the grand final.
They haven't looked settled this year. Whether it's covid or something else, only time will tell.
They have to get a ruckman. Majak daw?Comment

Woeful season from the Giants. What do they do from here ? I’d rather be a swans fan to be honest. Luckily I am !

I can't believe Leon Cameron got a new contract. Sure, they have had some injuries but with the players at his disposal, they should comfortably be entrenched in the 8.
The impression I get is that their players are arrogant and think all they have to do is walk out onto the park and they will win because they are do much better than everyone else. It's likely Cameron and his coaching staff believe this as well.Comment

Maybe their players aren't as great as the common perception of them. Even the guys that have left. It's
not as if any of them have exactly tore it up year after year, and won premierships at their new clubs.
They did seem to be lacking a consistent collective intent this year though.Comment

Who are starting to approach retirement and often injured now.
It may just be (fingers crossed) that Cameron has squandered by some measure the best list ever assembled. Will be very interesting to watch player movement from GWS in the next couple of months, quite a few haven't signed on yet.
Whilst they may grab some early picks by trading out recently acquired first rounders (Hateley, Caldwell, O'Halloran) for the first time ever they are not entering the draft holding multiple first rounders.Last edited by 707; 19 September 2020, 08:42 AM.Comment

With the number of ex swans at st Kilda, I'll be hoping they do well in the finals.Comment

The abysmal performance by the Giants this year, and to some extent over their brief existence as a club, impels a rethink of what the true value is of the players to success of a team. GWS have had an endless stream of top talent coming to the club. They have traded off players worthy of a premiership, let alone the ones that remain.
There has to be a greater emphasis placed on the football department as a whole, rather than just the talents of the players, when projecting the chances of attaining a premiership. The competitive desire that is generated at the club and instilled in the players is more important than what the stat sheets might indicate.
Putting together a team that want to play together and want to win is greater than the superficial qualities of the individual players comprising the team. I suppose this can be generalised and labeled the culture of the club. I know that I will be looking more in this direction when evaluating a club and its individual players, particularly for the Swans. The goal is to build a quality team, not merely a collection of quality players.Comment

Don't overthink it ludders.
Team winning = good culture.
Team losing = bad culture.
But I think you are right about the off field. It takes a long time to get right.Comment

Titus is in his usual great form....this is his entire preview of the Hawthorn v Gold Coast match:
"Who cares?"
Also, his summation of Gary Ablett snr's rant on Covid is spot on:
"There was a bit of Geelong news when former superstar Gary Ablett Snr posted a rant claiming COVID was fake.
This was hardly news, remember when the Herald Sun gave him a two page column to deny evolution and claim all the problems in the world are the result of people not worshipping god?
A lot of people said they were concerned about Gary’s mental health, but I’m a bit more worried about the damage these views have on the rest of us, as it’s this nonsense that will lead to people in Melbourne being locked up even longer.
And before people jump in and say, we’ll don’t promote what he is saying, it’s out there everywhere, and people need to point out these views are not only flat out bonkers, but harmful."
Gary snr has a great footy story.....as for his life after footy? Not so great....

Did anyone watch Dees v Dons?
Noticed Daniher had zero possessions in the first half, and 9 possessions and 6 marks in the second half.Comment

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.

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.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

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.

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.
