Originally posted by Ruckman I believe his modus operandi, despite all the work on the peck deck in recent years, was the lead.
He's very good on the lead, but I don't think he's enormously quick - just reasonable and uses strength to keep his position. Likewise, he can stand in the square and do the same thing.

Originally posted by barry Reiwolt is carrying an injury, and is hearing footsteps. We need to get some uncordinated mad man in there to scare the bejesus out of him. So that everytime he goes for the ball he's thinking: "Where is that nutcase going to hit me now".
Answer: LRT. Bold and imaginative.
If nothing else it will be entertaining!

The Hyphen on Nick Riewoldt sounds perfect. It's starting to get to the time to put The Hyphen to the sword. Riewoldt is the kind of player we need The Hyphen to defend against so... do it, sink or swim.
The Hyphen sucks but he is still out best CHB (and better than Goodes at that position).

I'm guessing Riewoldt is the captain of your dream team.

Ha! [I am assuming that was a joke]
All in all, the Hyphen was average (I think I shall call him... Mr Average). Though I must mention that whenever he gets the ball or even gets near the ball, I experience a physical reaction -- a wave a nausea -- that floods over me. This sounds terrible, but it's true. I sat in the stands one minute in jubilation, the next almost hurling... Oh, how I love this game!
And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.

No Joke. But he needs to be tested. He can always be moved off him.. no big deal. The Hyphen being average is GOOD. At this point it is really the most we can expect of him, I am glad you rate him so much

You still get that feeling? You must not of been following the Swans for long... Though I still get it a bit everytime the ball ends up in Mathews, Crouch or Bevan's hands. Not so much for Jude Bolton anymore.

I'm so glad you're anti-LRT.
I'd hate to have you on my side of any argument. I almost feel sorry for 'Bloods, ROK or Sanecow having you support their argument on this matter . . . such a disadvantage.

There aren't sides, or teams, or gangs, feuding with each other. I see no 'disadvantage' with JBB expressing an opinion. My stance on LRT has not changed. OK kick, average handball, poor mark for his height and athleticism, improving in these area but doing so slowly. No footy smarts and not looking like getting any in a hurry. It is my opinion. I do not care who thinks similarly or otherwise.
Originally posted by Sean Disagree. If his spoiling was fairly ordinnary then he would struggle defensively at AFL level - he hasn't had a bag kicked on him yet. If he was going over the shoulder, knocking the arms away or crashing into players he would have frees paid against him. Even if he does do what you say, isn't it a good thing if he gets away with it? Silvagni made a career out of it - and Scarlett very seldom spoils without some kind of overlooked infringement these days.

Umm, I think LRT 'flails' away, as one commentator described it, because he is uncoordinated. The others are hardnosed buggers who are precise in pushing the umps as far as they can go.
I'm sure LRT will make a great windmill one day; just not a key position defender on elite forwards.
Consider it - Silvagni used to play on Lockett and Dunstall and Ablett. LRT plays on Toby Thurstans and Morgan. A slight difference I think
