I forgot to mention the umps. Chamberlain at least. Did not pay are mark to Mills on the boundary line but paid on to a suns player at 3 qtr time and he was able to kick a goal almost the same .Comment

I thought today showed just how broken the holding the ball rule is in its current implementation. If the rules were properly applied, I reckon there would have been about 25 more free kicks in that game. The amount of times Gold Coast got away with HTB/Incorrect Disposal was mind boggling. Didn't have any impact on the contest as we didn't turn up, but the umpiring today was truly woeful."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

The game has changed from round 1 to now. All other teams seem to have adapted well and we are struggling with poor decision making under pressure in a contest. Once confidence goes that kick which was easy now becomes much more difficult mentally.
But wow this is why you need the experience. But look at lukosius and Noah Anderson.
Our connection from inside to outside is broken and now the middle to forward is broken.Comment

Thry came to play we didnt, we also had terrible skills when we did have space.
Bad on the inside poor in the outside. Thats why we looked terrible
Then...... injuries didnt help, Rowy is best 18 when fit, he wasnt fit.
Hard to bag a defender but Harry ordinary, probably undersized.
Lloyd doesnt defend so no surprise there but disposal was terrible.
We have injuries so its hard to know who to pick but in full health id like to see others before McKinerney and Harry, he is a toiler but had a solid ceiling.
Warner did a great job tagging but he is are only chance of breaking a line in the midfiled so id make someone else tag.Comment

Did a good job tagging after Miller had bolted halfway down the stright in the first quarter lol
(though I assume it wasn't the original intent to provide a tag either).
Warner is excellent at breaking a line in midfield, but as he develops, I hope he can find an ability to know when he can take a split second longer and when he cant, so he can improve his disposal efficiency and reduce the turnovers. That is not meant to be a criticism - its a product of his style and how he plays. And it isn't such an issue when our pressure and performance more broadly is good and we can translate that into pressure around the ball across the park, but when the opposition is allowed to do what they please on the turnover, it can be costly. But he certainly wasn't the only one today guilty of soft turnovers."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Horse said we needed to use Blakey for rotation purposes. But he said there were already two other sore boys in the forward line (I presume Papley and Heeney) so its no wonder the Suns just walked the ball out of there.
If you look at the Fantasy points column on the stats page, we had a couple of blokes off the chart and around half a dozen over 100. Plenty more in the 80s and 90s. Shows how much we butchered the ball.
Horse said good skills come off hardness around the ball and that was a problem today.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Kennedy and Parks get heaps of inside ball but neither break lines like WarnerComment

I noticed that one. Mills clearly took the mark while the Suns player looked to have dropped the mark. I also noticed a lot of chopping of the arms and head high hits and blocking in marking contests and not even one free kick was paid. But it did not cost us the match. We have our selves to blame.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.
