"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound." -
premiership talk is fairy land stuff. I wait and waited all night for us to take a contested mark in the forward line. St Kilda took 20 and I cannot recall us taking one. We have to be the worse contested marking side in the comp. When we go forward we will have to kick to the pockets because we are not capable of taking a mark directly in front.Comment

It was a weird game by the Swans. No one seemed to know where they should be or what they should be doing. The forward lines and back lines were both disaster zones. I agree that the strains and stresses of the past six weeks have finally caught up with them. Hopefully they can rest up and regroup. Better now, before we get to the finals.
My condolences to you and your family too Wardy.

I could be wrong but the normal game plan looked a little off tonight. We didnt seem to do a lot of the switching the ball deep to stretch the field and create space style. I might have to watch again (which will be a bit of a hard watch lol). I think we missed Millsy alot tonight. I dont like to talk our players down but a few changes needed next week.Comment

You’ll be waiting a while with forward entries like we had tonight. Back to the old bomb and hope game tonight. Forward defence has been good lately, but not there tonight. Can’t remember too many tackles inside 50 (apart from Dunstan who basically tackled himself). Saints probably had 20? They just beat us at our own game.Comment

The game was a jumper swap. STK played like I expected the Swans to play and vice versa.
My condolences to you and your family Wardy.Comment

Reid and Wicks were so poor. Stephens disappointing , i have defended him but if thats what he serves up after months in the 2s playing for his spot then that could be telling . Rowbottom embarrassing , Florent's kicking was so poor and who was on Higgins ? No one apparently . Hickey also a worry atmComment

Sad to hear about your mum Wardy - warm good wishes to you.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Agree with all that. Wicks can’t stand up in a tight game like Papley and Hayward. Despite his unwavering support on Red and White he shouldn’t be an automatic selection.
Stephens misses kicks and then missed that last quarter tackle (could have at least put his body in the way). I’ve supported him and now I feel I looked too much at his draft number.
Heeney is inconsistent. Buddy has not at his best.
Thought Hewitt and Parker gave something.Comment

That loss has been coming.
Stephens and Wicks didn't look up to it. Stephens lacks hardness at this stage and still kicking without penetration. Rowbottom faded badly. Enough faffing: Warner needs to come back in. I wonder how Campbell is going.
Really missed Mills.
I prefer Dawson in defence.
Positives? Blakey was excellent. Hewett and Cunningham were good.Comment

Seemed such an easy game for The Saints to win because no one manned up on anyone.
There was a St Kilda player in a little open paddock all night.
Swans played ‘we’ve got this one in the bag footy’ for four quarters .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
