I never used the word genius.?.I said a word that starts with an R and ends with a D
If you mean the word that starts with S and ends in C then, yes - it has been pretty much removed from general use. It was a term used to describe cerebal palsy sufferers and at one stage it wasn't offensive as it is actually a medical term covering people who have no control of their legs and/or arms and have spasms. It is still used in a medical context. In fact in Australia we had a charity called the S....c Centre for years, which renamed itself the Cerebal Palsy Association about 10 years ago.
The R....d word was a term used to describe people with intellectual difficulties and the word's general meaning is to "slow or delay the progress of something". The word is still used but not in relation to people, unless being offensive.

And the ground is awful to watch footy on as it’s circular and I’m assuming it’s an AFL/cricket field

They have played international cricket on that oval, I used to live on the horse paddock which is now Marrara Oval. AFL wasn't that big when I lived there it was mainly a League community, no idea if it changed.

Anyone else in the starting 13 last night that our club knows isn’t a first grader?

Asking for a friend.
Great point. If the club knows Perham isn't a first grader, why is he taking a spot in the squad? I don't think we filled our quota for development players, so why not put him there?

We let Will Smith go. Now there is no genuine utility player in the top squad.

Many would say Jakob shouldn't be top 30 either.

we honestly don’t know the reason why smith was let go. Maybe he had a clause if he could land a better deal…. But had he been still on our books, he’d be in front of ja in the pecking order.

doesn't "let go" == "he got a better offer"? .... he was off contract wasn't he? I thought we were going year by year with him

I find the Will Smith thing funny ..... cos people absolutely hammered him many times (cos he had some bad performances) - then he is gone and people lament he is no longer here as mr plug any injury holes .... lol

my issues with him were his kicking game. He was able to create opportunities, could fill in, in a number of positions and do a job. He also won a few games for us or at least played well sometimes.


and tbh, I thought he was contracted for 2022.

Agree with the first part but he was off contract at the end of last year.
