FWIW, Mills finished top 10 in the coaches association award, which I personally rate as the premium award. What a sensational result.
(And for those who speculated in the absence of public results, yes, Rowie polled big votes in the last two rounds.)'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

My thoughts are that only Logan McDonald and Sam Wicks are in any danger of being omitted for the final. I could see them both playing VFL this weekend and fighting for their places, whereas I don't think most of the seniors will be playing in the ressies.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

It depends how you lose. I would think that Brisbane have scars after their last two encounters with the Dees.
I want us to have a big game, whether we win or lose. But I am definitely nervous.
It is looking like it will be a big crowd, and I imagine it will be a large Melbourne cohort, particularly as they missed out on watching them play in the GF last year. We need to silence their input as early as possible. I really don’t want a close finish with their fans surging them on.
The Dees players and their fans might have the feeling that they are performing for each other this September. I just hope that creates undue pressure from the expectation rather than a confidence that it is their destiny.
We are up against it, but we are also capable of an upset if we don’t wilt to the occasion.Comment

Don’t we want to win at all costs to avoid the Cats / Tigers / Lions (Feline) side of the draw?Comment

Max Gawn was a big factor when we last played. And so was Mays absence. Their forward line looks different with Melksham in there. It will be frenetic at the start. If we are close at nearly halftime we would be close to winning.
Can we avoid their defenders and can we move the ball under defensive pressure without bombing ? If we can, we will win.Comment

I don't see any risk in Logan losing his spot. Since coming last three games he's played well, averaging 10 disposals, 1.25 goals, over 5 score involvements. He's also gotten up the ground nicely. I think his output is clearly superior to his competitors for that position.
On the other hand, Wicks was sub by virtue of it being his turn on the rotation (with Campbell and Ronke). Papley will come back in and Campbell will be sub.Comment

Betting agencies have Melbourne as a heavy favourite, around $1.45 or so.
Melbourne have a very potent midfield that can get the ball into their forward 50 quickly. Then they have the tall marking of Ben Brown, and Gawn/Jackson (whoever is not rucking), and some very accurate chaos ball and on the run goal kickers in Pickett and Fritsch (and they are good set shots too, better than our Sam Reid). They have much more height in the forward line than we have in the McCartins, Rampe and Fox.
Then May (All Australian FB) and Lever with their intercept marking (and Buddy is not a strong pack or overhead mark, and the umpires don't call a lot of the interference on him either).
However, we beat them last time, their form has been inconsistent recently whilst we are in great form, so I am slightly more confident than nervous!
I don't know how the rest of you are going, but eight days is so far away!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. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
