Re: Shaman , have to keep playing him.

Dont understand why they thought throwing Sharman into the ruck was a good idea. He got rag dolled.
He is a dab kick for goal ( usually ) and yes we should cetainly keep playing him...

Re: Umpires again

I used to bang on about poor umpiring years ago, but have finally realised that great teams usually manage to win despite poor umpiring decisions...not always, but usually. The worst features about our great game are the rules and interpretations .

I was at that game and Milan is right on the money. David Grant was absolutely killing Geelong in defence until he was taken out. I still harbour resentment for Geelong over that day. lol In my opinion, the loss of Grant cost us the game. With a small bench, it was a huge blow... there ere other fac...

Easy explanation. This site was full of so called 'supporters" bagging the hell out of RL , our 'dreadful' draft pick record, and at least half of our team players, all of whom are proving very valuable at the moment.,
