Kicking to family members in the crowd I believe...

Great endictment on our backline if you ask me.
They are performing well even with LRT in the team.
Aside from that, I am going to ask Roosey if I can get a game in the coming weeks.
My effort will be unquestionable.
My kicking and decision making skills are....well..... they don't exist, but that doesn't seem to be a problem to get a run.
Seriously, LRT, CANNOT be dropped.
How could it be justified letting him back in the side?The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Could be a post in this. Daniels was very unco, but seem to recall he got a fair bit of it. Made Cameron Ling look like Americas next top model.Originally posted by Dave
You are forgetting Jason Daniels.
He has to be the most unco player I've ever seen.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Its quite sad when certain fans rejoice when one of their own players has a bad day.
He had a shocker, and 2 clangers at once looked comincal. Otherwise an effective spoiler as usual.
He's got better speed and stamina than Schuable. (Schuabs is our FB in case anyone forgot when he last played)
He's a better kick than Dunkley ever was. (at least his kicks look like drop punts
).
But a bad game. His worst for a while. I cant imagine what some fans think booing him when he gets the footy is going to acheive.
Anyone boo-ers here to elaborate ?Comment

The thing that you, and many others, fail to grasp, is the Schuable is well past every holding down CHB again. He was slow in his prime, and is even slower now. But he's still our premier full back in my opinion.Originally posted by Vivien
I don't mind the lad but I agree with JF and others. It's utterly lamentable that he's in the side when a solid, consistent, proven performer in Schauble is left out.
There are no alternatives to LRT at CHB on our list. Please dont mention Vogels, as he's yet to even play there.Comment

I think it's shocking to boo him - I can't believe people would actually do that at the ground.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I didn't hear any booing, not from my part of the ground anyway. It was more of a collective holding my breath sound.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Are you referring to Jack from Lost, and if so what's the comparison?Comment

He certainly wasn't the best player out there last night, but I was disappointed by the collective jeer in the 4th quarter when he actually hit a target. Fair enough he's frustrating, but I don't think I've heard a home Swans crowd do that to one of our own before. FWIW, I think there is room for both Schaubs and LRT in the team (perhaps not against certain teams like the Bulldogs though).Comment

They both have no idea wher they are or what they are doing there!!!Comment

We are quick on here to have a go at Richmond supporters for the way they vent their frustration directly at players, but the way things are going some on this board are fast approaching their level.
I watched Saturday nights game with two recent ex AFL players (both incidently Tigers) and I asked both if the crowd reaction from a mental point of view had any effect on them when playing. Both made a point of saying they were aware of what supporters and opposition fans thought of them and they felt the pressure direclty and indirectly when playing.
LRT knows he needs to work on his disposal and I am sure the current reaction (direclty and indireclty) he is getting from certain sections of the crowd is not helping him to gain that confidence. Thus causing him to second guess himself.
However the use of his body, spoiling and ability to read the play and stick with his opponents on the lead have all improved this year.

FWIW, it was more of a Bronx cheer than a jeer. It wasn't very loud either.Comment

Thats so obvious in his game. When he kicked OOBOTF, you could see he was embarrased by it and hurt by the crowd reaction. Then the ball comes straight back and he drops a chest mark. Confidence shot for that short period.Originally posted by DST

Anyway, we have so many attacking creative backmen, we can afford to have one totally focused on negating. His spoiling and ground work are his real strengths at the moment, and they are right up there.Comment
