Read several excerpts below from this week's show.
On the rushed behind rule
Shaw: “I was happy with the rushed behind rule that was in place a few years ago when you could do whatever you wanted. At the moment I haven’t been in the situation when I have had to intentionally rush it behind.”
On players shaking hands after a match
Swan: “I think too much is being made of it. We are not sore losers. After we play, whether we win or lose, I am going to shake the other player’s hand. I am not going to ignore them because we have played ordinary.
“It’s ridiculous if you can’t shake a bloke’s hand after a game.”
On getting tagged
Shaw: “The last couple of weeks I have been tagged where as the first few rounds of the season I wasn’t. I handle it by stopping my man kicking goals and try to put myself in a position which is dangerous to the opposition so they can’t get some space. You do tend to change your game.”
