Gee my previous comments - head highs in brisbanes forward 50 on Keays not paid but paid up other end, just want consistency. melbourne better team although we are showing fight but lack skills

What are your opinions on the ruck scenario Ringo? Gawn is having a bigger impact than either of the Brissy rucks, albeit no domination.

No comment. West is attending most so just wondering what the strategy is behind it. Another Leppa debacle maybe or maybe trying something to save face.

first game I haven't been able to watch this year :-/ relying on radio.

Sounds like when we go forward we are looking great. Also sounds like we have the favour with the umps a bit.

That was Michie's first career goal btw! In his 21st game :D

Keays (iirc) should have been lining up due to a high tackle late in the 2nd. Only just started watching with like a few mins left though.

Ringo · May 22, 2016, 03:32:05 PM

All the free kicks there Purps only probably 2 or 3 that could have go either way. The ones not paid are the issue for me. As I said earlier 2 definite head high tackles not paid in Brisbanes forward 50. Dees the better team though as their transition is too quick They have made a couple of errors going forward and should be further in front.

Am I the only idiot that put a C on Gawn after Dangerfield's failure?

There was a string of no calls for both teams in terms of holding the ball/incorrect disposal. They have put the whistle away which I don't mind. Just pay the real obvious ones.

Also Ringo the reason they didn't pay the high on Keays is he dropped the knees, my first instinct was high as well but I think the call was fair enough, if you drop down to get a high a free they shouldn't pay them.

I'm wondering what price I can get on Christian Petracca tomorrow for the Rising Star!

Flower my garden bed, this boy is a ripper!

Mat0369 · May 22, 2016, 03:53:50 PM

Petracca is an absolute star

GoLions · May 22, 2016, 03:54:19 PM

Our kicking at goal has been atrocious

Currie's 90 sitting on my ruck bench while 2 spuds battle it out to see who can out spud the other today

Stef has spent most of the day up forward where he can't play.

Yep, he can't even kick straight.

If Trent West is picked next week, Stef is a must trade IMO, I know it's a bit knee-jerky
