Great game LRT

Sure, but not a great thing.

Schuable was also in that pack. Are you going to have a go at him too, or conceed that in a large pack environment its not hard to get pushed off your line, and smaller players end up with the ball. It happened to O'loughlan early in the game.

LRT was in the front centre and completely missed it. It was a fairly ordinary effort when he was in the best position.

A "resonably solid" comment by an LRT-hater like yourself is proof enough for me.

'Proof' of what? I'm not an LRT hater. Last week was the first time I commented on his game in detail and I thought he was well beaten last week. To comment that a player is beaten and needs to improve more is hardly worthy of saying I hate him - then again, it seems that way sometimes on here.

Being a KPP player in a team that kept Port to one of its lowest score (did I hear that correctly), is no mean feat.

Really stretching it a bit now...

Certainly outshone other CHB hopefuls in Vogels and Dempster

Wasn't aware that Dempster was hailed to be a CHB. Vogels looked good - hard to do a lot in minimal game time. If you don't think Vogels looks like a decent player then you really are quite biased.

Definitely his best game this season and one of his best in his (short) career.

I'll second that

Maybe he gained a bit of confidence from his "multi-touch crap kick then great handpass" bit of play against the Bombers last week.

I'll take best game of this season. I think he has had similar, but didnt do any bad clangers this weeks which usually draw attention from casual viewers.

Nothing on his career best games back in 2003.

He set the scene early by attacking contests really postively. For the first time for a long time (excluding pre-season games) he looked like he really believed he belonged out there.

He didn't seem to get much of the ball as the game wore on but the fact that his opponent barely saw it is commendable. Comparisons to Vogels and Dempster are a bit meaningless since they all play different roles and are at different stages of advancement. But it was still an encouraging performance from the Hyphen.

His No-doze started wearing off after the first 10 mins of the game!!!

I thought he was out to inflict some serious damage the way he attacked the ball.

The main criticism is his decision making still very slow, and he also crashed into the back of someone a touch late and was lucky not to give away a free.

His main role appears to be the "big guy in the way" role.

I'd give him a 6/10. (and double his no-doze next week.)

I watched the replay of the game and I won't be jumping on his bandwagon yet.

Well most agree that there has been some improvement from LRT, considering he has played many less games of AFL than other players his age, maybe Roosy has seen the potential in the kid.

He's not an LRT hater. He's just a stubborn old man who is never wrong.

I'm not that old (nor am I that young). I've admitted to being wrong before - you should remember as it doesn't happen that often... I do prefer it when I'm convinced by sensible arguments though...

You see, I have a memory of gnat, and am also never wrong.

Me either. It's time we were running the club.

Great smother, played with a lot more confidence. Hopefully the marking and disposals will pick up soon.

A week ago I rated the hyphen as teh worst player to have a seemingly cemented spot in the 22 in the entire AFL. After sunday I realise that was a little harsh and now at least we all know he's putting himself in there and giving it his best. Certainly warranted a spot in the team on the weekend.
