The wins by West Coast and Fremantle pretty well locked in the position of our draft picks tied to Hawthorn. That is, North are now highly unlikely to catch Hawthorn and Hawthorn are highly unlikely to catch Fremantle. So, until any free agency compensation picks blow them out, they're 22 and 41. By the way, they're not 21 and 40, because Fremantle have a couple of picks tied to North, that North were given as priority picks and then traded to Fremantle.Comment

Toby Greene really is a joy to watch (when he's not playing us).I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I think in the third quarter against the Dogs he was something like 8 possessions, kicked 4.2 and assisted in the
other two goals they kicked that quarter. That is just ridiculous. He is fourth in the Coleman and equal first
in goal assists. He has really taken to the captaincy thing.Last edited by KTigers; 31 July 2023, 11:45 AM.Comment

The crowds have dropped off for Richmond games with only 52,300 for their home game against Melbourne which obviously included Melbourne supporters. What does this say about their supporters especially when they have 100000 or so members. At least this year the Swans supporters have still been getting 30,000+ to their home games in a so so year of results.Comment

This collection of VFL clips popped up on YouTube, so I thought I might as well have a look.

I was stunned by the incident that runs from about 1 minute 20 in. Both by the flagrant violence and the fact that I'd never heard of it, as it obviously would have been infamous at the time. Since it looks like it happened at a South Melbourne home game, perhaps some veteran fans would like to elaborate?Comment

We have 62,000 members, so both teams at around 50% attendance and we are close on the ladder.
They also have members who have memberships for some of the other 8 or so Melbourne based teams so some go to the MCG to see other games on the weekend (whereas non Victorian fans have a maximum of two games in their state/city to go see each weekend).Comment

Just a thought relating to the initial post:
I wonder if Cairns might be an option for Team 20. A slightly larger population than Darwin and growing (from the Cairns Regional Council website - In the past 30 years, Cairns' population has nearly doubled - growing from 89,000 residents in 1992, to more than 165,000 today - and it’s predicted to reach up to 265,000 by 2050. That’s 100,000 more people than live here today), is not in a two-team market such as Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and (ostensibly) Brisbane), not in a strong RL market and far enough away from Townsville, has its own local comp, has a welded on NBA Cairns Taipans supporter base which in part could ease across to follow their AFL side in the winter.
Nothing to like about north or the eagles. We should never forget north fans booing Goodesy in his final game (and earlier in the season at Docklands), nor should we forget that Goodesy took a break from the game for reasons of mental health preservation after being booed relentlessly and with hostility in Perth by that blue and yellow scum.
I still recall Jack Ziebell coming out in Adam's defence (and have admired him since), and I also seem to recall adam simpson saying after that shameful game that he didn't really notice much booing. Correct me if I'm wrong.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Four rounds to go, and St Kilda are a mathematical chance to finish 15th. They are currently fifth. It came up when I was running the Squiggle ladder predictor a few times.
So I wouldn't worry too much about finishing 15th, a lot of teams can still end up there.
(And for the record, the ladder predictor mostly had us finishing 10th, our current position.)"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Deja, this incident occurred in a reserves match in 1985. In the early 80s, there was a reserve game played at the old South ground and televised on Channel 7 on the Sunday afternoons when there wasn't a Swans game in Sydney to televise. It wasn't always a Swans reserves game that was televised but the clip is our reserves versus Collingwood reserves. The Collingwood player, John Bourke, was suspended for 10 years which was later reduced to 6 years. He was apparently leading the Reserves goalkicking at the time of the incident.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.
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.
