    So glad to see the back of the behinds coach.
    I was distraught when they hired him - he was a very dirty player.
    The team, in my opinion, for the last three years, has been a bit "off"... purely my perspective... I blamed Stevie J - he's toxic.
    Glad to see the back of him.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    It's highly likely this is the first time "cognisant" has ever been used in the discussion of football. We are in
    uncharted territory.

    I like to think that when the (coffee table, hard-cover) book about club CEOs gets written, there will be a chapter in it about Tom Harley's ground-breaking use of the C word.

    There is no doubt Harley is cognisant.....and we are lucky to have him.

    I do wonder if the good people of RWO are 'real fans' sometimes. Tom Harley has been using cognisant for a good decade now.
    If you do a google search of "Tom Harley cognisant" you'll find a few examples.

    I think even BT uses it sometimes.

    Maybe that's the real reason why Hanners left.

    If you check back on Ludwig's posts there are some words few people have heard of.

    You’ve got that right.

    BT heard Harley say it and thought “hmm if I use that big word I might sound smart” ... BT couldn’t even spell it let alone know what it actually means.

    I did some research overnight and apparently Harley first used it in the his rev-up speech at 3/4 time during the 2009
    Grand Final. Steve Johnson said recently that none of the Geelong players knew what it meant (and he still doesn't)
    but they figured that since Tom was using "big words" in the huddle things must be serious and they better start
    playing better. Johnson thinks it played a big part in Geelong winning the 2009 flag.

    Tabloid level of discussion on Steve Johnson a low point for RWO.

    Then ask 'what is the motivation for a tabloid journo (ie: a scummy journo)?' It is usually to attack someone they don't like.......which is simply what is happening here. Let's face it, before he came to the Swans, SJ was very hard to like. Some Swans fans found his appointment hard to swallow and still find him hard to warm to. I am one of them and am not sad to see him go.....and in the absence of hard facts, speculation is unavoidable.

    What you are seeing here is human nature......

    I have assumed Barracudas comments have a basis in fact.
