Proud

[dawson]

I'm proud of the fellas. We should have been pummelled. We took a great side to the wire.

We will take a lot out of this game and give the finals a real shake.

There are definitely positives to come out of this game.

Although tantalisingly close, the boys ran out the game well.

LRT - great in the ruck!

[Diego]

Was the making of LRT today IMHO.

I thought LRT was shockin ni the ruck til the last 5 mins, barely gave a decent contest and was very weak. He showed how little experience he has in this position.
Most of the boys stood tal and showed they are the real deal

I think I must have been watching a different game.

LRT in the ruck and Goodes pushing forward nearly won the game for us.

I'm won't say he dominated the ruck, but he didn't do any worse than Goodes, and also allowed Goodesy to play in the midfield. He had 12 possessions in the 2nd half, I'd say that's a fair effort.

LRT also improved through the game. He learnt well, I agree that this could have been the making of him. He continues to show that he is not afraid and is out to make a mark for himself. Great attitude.

Fair dinkum Motorrace, you must have had a skin full watching the game, unless you were watching another game through the bottom of a glass. LRT jumped all over the 2 Adelaide players and because he gave the contest we started to get the footy out of the centre.

He worried the begezzus out of those 2, whose 2nd efforts in the first half were largely responsible for the lopsided centre breaks in the Crows favour.

Don't laugh but I reckon LRT will more than make up for the loss of Ball.

He nearly won us the game.

While playing in the ruck up to 1/2 Goodes only had 2 possessions while in the ruck. In the last half both players lifted with LRT making a real contest in the ruck and Goodes improving his form at CHF.

In future I would like to see LRT in the ruck with Meiklejohn as back up. This would allow Goodes to play around the ground as needed with a few bursts on the ball . Adam playes his best football when he is not shackled. IMO the team balance will improve.

Am I detecting a little resistance to the certain Rise and rise of LRT ??
A few negatives have been comming his way since he was about to break into the team. This kid will be a champion.

Moterace, were you seriously watching the game today? Couldn't have been with your assessment on LRT's game, he was the reason we got back into the game.

[penga]

one small step for the swans, one giant leap for LRT!

[Reggi]

Someone for goodness sake buy LRT ans Stevens some McDonald's vouchers.

Botton line no four points.

For the next 8 weeks losing is losing is losing.

No win no positives.
