How on earth did you get on to Schauble? Are you not happy with his performances so far this year?

And can not understand how he kept his place when McVeigh and Schneider got dropped for poor performances too..

Well then you obviously don't know alot about team management do you.

Roos made a masterstroke of a move in the lastQ. He put LRT to FF which meant the Lions had to put a big man back on him. It just seemed to mess up their back structure and LRT kept presenting. Was it him that put a shepherd on so Nicks could hand ball to Goodes for a goal?

I thought he was OK down back and did his bit in the tight first half. Possessions sometimes in the close in contests are not the be all and end all of performance.

hence my comment on body position

Two years ago I had hopes for LRT, but agree he looks dismal at present.

Against the Hawks, who were dreadful, he had a perfect chance to lok like a footballer, unfortunately he didn't. When caught in possession he always looks a worry.
Compare that to Dempster last night when he backed himself, made a couple of blues but looked to have a footy brain. Even when he rushed that ball he looked cool and calm.

OK lets compare apples and oranges shall we? Dempster has probably played football since he was 9-11 years of age. LRT has probably only played 3 or 4 years. There's the difference in that analogy. Is it fair?

Actually given that the "Pornstar" was also crapping on Jude Bolton I think it's the post and the poster thats the joke.

I think my comment was a little over the top

Get a grip. There's guys in FNQ who have never even seen a game, maybe we should give them a run just to be fair.

All will conceed that Mal Micheal and Martin Pike are better players than LRT is currently.

But LRT sacrificed his own game to take both of them out of the game at various points last weekend, so a net win to us.

With LRT's ability to go forward or back, our side has looked a lot more balanced with him in it... for the last 2 years.

Good work Lewy. Dont worry about the knockers.

And are far closer to the end of their careers than the beginning (and probably the middle too)

I can't think of a player that hasn't been trashed on this board at some time in their careers!

If only W. Carey had listened to that advice he would be a better human being.

Michael's only 27, so probably just a year or two past the middle.

No, well over midway. He debutted at 20 (I'm sure you have the exact date at your fingertips) he's now 27, he retires at 29 after a freak accident involving 6 D-cell batteries, a 4 gallon drum of KY jelly, a pair of Penguins liberated from Seaworld and Leigh Matthew's evil twin sister.

Actually I was more referring to Pike.

LOL - that's eeevil....

One would think this has to be his last year.

We all know Mal Michael.

Who was on Plugger when he kicked his 1300th? Mal.

He was dead set the worst key defender in the league at the time. Now look at him. He was given time and now he is one of the top 2 fullbacks in the comp.

When we get Magic (full forward) and shauble (full back) into our side, suddenly there's two of the opposition's better talls that will be kept busy. The LRT gets to learn his craft playing on other, far easier opponents. Until then, he is thrown in the deep end with little option for his replacement.

I remeber that clearly. It's always amazed me how this skinny kid from Collingwoord who could barely cover Pluggers shadow on that day has become such a good defender.

So I think the Swans wouldn't be wasting their time with him if they didn't think he had potential.
