Brilliant experience with your son. Treasure that. Through the other end of the telescope, I got to see the 2005 flag live with my father, who had lived his entire life without seeing a flag at that point. A glorious moment. In the fabric of your life, these things are not everything but they are enduring and very important memories.
and I think it may have been Zach Touhy rather than Tom Stewart, but I stand to be corrected. He collected a spectator in the invasion (inadvertently) then realised they'd lost their wallet and returned it to them!My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

Cheers mate. He loved it even though it was way past his bedtime.
I strongly believe they should have called full time at that point. It was risky to both teams of players to warm up and come back on after 30min to play 15min of time where the result was secured.
Could Geelong have talked to the Swans and agreed to end of the game? Do clubs have that power.Comment

Best night i have had in a long long while. It is getting on 2 years since my wife passed , felt nice to be back at the SCG surrounded by swans fans . We are the best in the country bar none , and ive seen most of them !
Chad was far and away our best player . I do not deserve any credit for rating him , but i did say he 'd fast become our best mid when it wasnt popular to say so . Mills also great of course but cant break a game open like Chad . Florent was disappointing after last week , seemed off .
Heeney and Lance are stars , cant stop them when they are in that kind of mood .
Hayward kicked 3 and he is lucky he did because everything else he did was shocking ! Anyone on here who thinks i am too hard should 've heard the chap behind me ! Needed a swear jar every time Hayward went near it .
No surprise the two worst players in the side were our worst players on the ground . I have been clear who they are and if everyones being honest they will also know it .They will be gone next week , Kennedy going nowhere
Paddy awesome , Tom not so much but grew into the game . I 'd also like to give a mention to Braden campbell who i thought was a star . Had so many fantastic defensive moments you dont see on TV , to go with his left foot cannon . He is superb
Blakey and Errol also .Comment

Cheers TB- after such a special night I’m not going to pick on you! Sorry to hear about your wife- hope our team can give you some solace and I won’t take to heart your comments on you know who in the future!
Not being at the game, as I live in Melbourne, would love to know your other worst player- does it start with a W by any chance?Comment

So, as a TV watcher from afar, keen to get observations from those at the ground on Stephens. Looked very poised, polished and involved, covering a bucket of ground and his kicking looked precision. Didn’t bust the game open like Chad, but that’ll come. Probably his best game so far for mine at least.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

So Happy Buddy go to kick his 1000th at SCG. Has synergy with Plugger's 1000th & goal kicking record, both also at the SCG. Futher enshrines SCG with great footy history/moments.
P.S. Tried to post this in the "Buddy 1000th" thread but for some reason it wouldn't allow me to do so.Comment

Stephens seemed pretty composed last night and got himself into some good positions I noticed he got burnt a few times early when he was in the clear but didn’t drop his head and kept working.
Mills ate Dangerfield alive last night. Danger had one touch in the first quarter and his second touch was when Mills moved off him briefly. Total demolition job that put Mills close to BOG - although it’s hard to go past Heeney, who will deliver a flag this year if he stays fit IMO.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Always interesting BOG considerations. No doubting the fantastic game from Heeney, but Mills as you said chewed up and spat out Dangerfield whole still racking them up himself and doing serious damage.
The awesome part more broadly is there is still so much improvement to come in this team - far, far from the ceiling it can reach.
Assuming we don't get wet toasted by Covid, looking forward to the game against the chuckers on Thursday night. Seriously think it's a huge opportunity to lay down a massive marker for the season, to put an exclamation mark on a very good opening fortnight.
Chad is an amazing talent, but Mills is in my opinion our most important and best midfielder by a fair stretch for mine, and I would say was BOG last night for mine (Heeney will be in the conversation too). He not only took Dangerfield totally out of the game last night, but also racked up 30 on the side. Chad doesn't have a significant defensive side to his game yet, which he will develop in time - and by no measure is he getting the best opposition midfielders on him. I am not doubting his quality at all, it is clear to see for all - but modern footy is not solely about being able to break open a game going forward, as much as that is the most exciting part of it.
And please drop the absolutes like "I have been clear who they are". You do not hold objective truth and your opinion is no more or less valid then the views of anyone else, so don't pretend to present it as fact.Last edited by mcs; 26 March 2022, 09:41 AM."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Re: Covid. I read somewhere that 80% of east coast players had already contracted Covid mitigating the risk for teams over here. In contrast, WA teams are in 2020 still regarding their infections and so will be at a much greater risk. Me thinks Bud will get a rest this week anyway after a pretty big hangover.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.

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.

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.

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.
