First preseason game v Giants in Albury

[TheBloods]

Seems i cant say 1 word about him without the conversation going down the tubes . Its a shame but i will accept my part in it

I wont say anything else about him from here on out , next time i say his name will be if he has a good game and no other reason .

Enjoy your Sundays

Why does anyone reply ?

YES! why does everyone reply.
I read everyone's posts about players and tactics and coaches including thebloods and while I disagree with what he writes about Rowbottom he has made good points about others. what bothers me is that EVERY WEEK this degenerates into a verbal punch up and that is not what I get on here to read. pretty much everybody on here disagrees with him on this point and we all know that so from now on can we PLEASE stop all the to and fro about 1 persons opinion. It's as boring as bat @@@@ tp read.
I want to read YOUR opinions about the team not what you think of other posters.
Thank you.
Bexl.

Some posters are insightful, some are inciteful and some others are both.

We don't need to have everyone attacking TheBloods every time he makes a comment of the second variety. You don't have to have a good understanding of the game to be a good Swans' supporter.

It's okay to respond to comments we disagree with, but I don't see the point of piling on. Do we really need an internecine RWO conflict over something so trivial?

“You don't have to have a good understanding of the game to be a good Swans' supporter.” ????
Ludwig I am loving the subtlety of this comment.

As the Red and White community know, TheBloods and I are independent from each other in 2022.

I do need to call everyone out for their constant criticism of TheBloods because he doesn’t rate Rowbottom.

Why is the community not praising TheBloods for his early call (probably before any other posters) on the superstar potential of Chad and J-Mac. I’ve read post after post of community members praising Chad and J-Mac. He picked those two superstars before Red and White were onboard.

TheBloods doesn’t have the same belief in Rowbottom and the community chooses to go against TheBloods despite TheBloods seeing Chad and J-Macs potential before anyone else.

It’s staggering that people refuse to listen to TheBloods feedback on Rowbottom despite him being the visionary on Chad and J-Mac.

TheBloods has got Chad and J-Mac correct. Maybe is correct on Rowbottom.

TheBloods got Blakey wrong last year and now he’s a Blakey off half back supporter.

When TheBloods gets behind Rowbottom you will know that Rowbottom has made it.

Mate, no one agrees with TB on Rowbottom, including the media. No one gives a rats about comments they agree with apart from agreeing.

It's the relentlessness of the negativity coupled with the unwarranted vitriol that people have an issue with.....and feel compelled to respond to.

It's quite simple....get on board....or not. The world will keep turning.

BTW, your last comment is laughable......we have our own minds thanks. That's the whole point!

Does anyone know who were the starting 18 in this game?

People know that I’m not a big Wicks fan and I think his spot should go to a more talanted player. No one agrees with me re Wicks. However, I’m not getting the “pile on” that poor TB is having to deal with for questioning the virtue of Rowbottom.

Another poster told the same story of a “pile on” when he dared to question Jude Bolton in 2007.

Why do many Red and White posters resort to a “pile on” when you dare to question the virtue of a Swans fan favourite or your ideas retreat from established Swans.com press releases or Swans press conferences?

Great call!

Was a bit messy but remember thinking the same for our pre-season match v Giants last year and things turned out all right. There will be a learning curve for all of Heeney, McCartin. P, and JPK in their new roles if that is indeed where they end up in round 1 - may mean a slightly rocky start to the year, but all changes seem sensible in the long run.

Liked the look of young Roberts when he came on - some real polish there.

Oh dear....read the second line of my post that you quoted.

With Wicks.....Are you relentless? No. Do you use vitriol? No.

As I said.....it's quite simple.

Call me stupid if you like call me grossly ridiculously naive but isn't this supposed to be about, you know, the Sydney Swans football team and, you know, like how they play and stuff like that? not about other people who posted on here.

Does anyone know who were the starting 18 in this game?

Forward line was Buddy, HMac, Ladhams, Paps, Hayward Gulden
Centre bounce Hickey Chad Heeney Parker with JMac and I think Ollie wings
Defence didn't sight it on Kayo but Rampe was definitely there.

Because some of us have been here having a great time (mostly) for 20 YEARS. And this stuff really makes the whole RWO so much less enjoyable. You’ve been around long enough to understand, I would have thought. (Yes I remember when you joined).
I/we really want to make the forum better. It’s that simple. Weird for an old Lefty like me to go all Conservative and hanker after “the good old days.”

Thanks. McLean is the interesting one there. Most of us seem to think that McDonald will be used instead of McLean.

I thought McLean was a little better then McDonald on Friday. But not a lot between them. Going to be real competition between the big men for spots this year!

I would be very surprised if WCE hasn't had a go at Logan McDonald. They are desperate for a young key forward.
