    Seems holding the ball isn't on the umpires' radar tonight...
    I think that's okay as long as you shepherd within 5m of the ball.

    Ah I realise that it's his knee. What I was meaning was he has no confidence in his knee to be able to kick through the ball

    Sorry, got what you meant. I don't know how they are going to handle him for the rest of the year. We need him for the finals because he is such a great presence but we need him to make it that far. Maybe he should be rested for half the games.

    That's why I made the call earlier in the thread that we may get to see Membrey in at last next week for Goodes

    What did they do to Kieran that caused us to retaliate and give away the free? He was holding his ribs.

    There has been a bit of niggle. Jetta & McVeigh were fired up early.

    It doesn't matter if you shepherd the ball or not. If ball goes without being touched it is a free. Has been the same forever.

    Our field kicking has been nothing short of woeful. It is just that GWS haven't taken advantage of it. But GWS is beating us at the centre clearances. No surprise there. Why we go wide into the forward line when we have Tippett and Franklin puzzles me.

    Our disposal has been terrible this quarter. We are making them look good.

    These umpires need a measuring tape. Three times this quarter in the GWS 50 they said not 15 when it looked much further!

    Looks like Bugg gave him a elbow to the ribs. Not surprising. Bugg is a sniper and almost worse than Ballantyne for cheap shots. Tried to break Grundy's ribs a little earlier.

    Has there been any word on whether Shaw is okay?
