Oh look, my stalkers back.

Beware, there's more than one stalker on RWO barry. They tag team sometimes too. Interestingly, they seem to live in Melbourne, although I'm sure that's entirely coincidental and no reflection upon the many good Bloods supporters down in that beautiful southern city.

Sorry, I'm probably trolling.

Some people are just paranoid.

It's not their fault - everyone is stalking them!

You are sadly mistaken if you think that chicken noises will make me believe that LRT's game can be judged on Riewoldt's game when we don't even know if he'll line up on him.

It is becoming more and more apparent that your love of LRT is based on ignorance of his actual games.

Sir Twistalot and the Red Queen, sounds like a Lewis Carrol story.

I agree with you. I was on the LRT bandwagon but barry's comments are making me hope that he's dropped.

Not only that, I now want him delisted at the end of the season. In fact, a police escort out of town with instructions never to return wouldn't go astray right now.

Too late - I've heard he's been handed the keys of the city and will be the next Queen of Mardi Gras! I believe that he is so highly regarded in Melbourne that there is some negotiation to second him down here duruing the off season to be King of Moomba...

Lets set the record straight. I have no love for LRT. All I say is he deserves his spot, and he has it. There are a lot worse than him this year, and this singling out of him for a few clangers is unfair and a poor reflection on the souls that do it. Its not new here. Happened to Saddo, happened to Bennett, happened to Luff. All along it doesnt make me proud to be a swans supporter when it happens. In fact its quite cringeworthy. If you have to pick on a player choose Jason Cloke, Leon Davis, etc from other sides.

I dont know who LRT will play on, but you can substitute any name for Reiwoldt on game day. My point remains. In fact the past 8 rounds have proven it. LRT has been a (b) so far this season. Sometimes an (a), occationally a (c). Never anything else. Yet you expect him to be an (a) every game. Totally Unfair.

Why ?

To hope he is dropped is to hope he plays badly. To hope he plays badly is to hope we lose.

Utter crap barry. No one expects him to be an (a). No one is any more worried about his clangers than any other player's clangers. Most of the LRT criticism comes from his inability to read the play and from the fact that it is not improving.

Since rock-bottom in round 5 he has been slowly but steadily improving (based on # of disposals, tackles and marks alone; he has not necessarily reduced his clangers or positioning himself better in the contest which would actually indicate an improvement in understanding the game). If the trend continues then by the end of the year he will be "Mostly Harmless".

Surely the fact that has has performed at approximately a (b) level all year (And therefore an average AFL tall backman) means he can read the play. And his game last week was a big improvement in terms of link play out of defense.

I am hoping that CBolts gets a run on either Gehrig or Pretty Boy, though am hoping the latter b/c it would be a great contest to watch. I am feeling ill, just thinking of LRT on those two powerhouses. Perhaps I'll collect all the barf bags on the flight down, just in case...
