The thing about both Malceski and Kennelly, is that neither of them are particularly good defenders IMO. Not unusual though - often a trend for a couple of backmen to be there for rebound rather than defence (eg: Gilbee with the 'Dogs).

This is the perfect time to try another youngster,Matthew Laidlaw.On the other hand they may recall Luke Vogels or even Reg who came over as a backman.Roosy and Co have some thinking to do.Comment

Leo was superb against Melbourne. It's true he didn't have a monster opponent to quell, but his rebound and accountability must be applauded. So far only a couple of Frees paid against him this year too.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

Had a quick look at the stats this year.
Malceski's season for Sydney 2007:
1st in Kicks
1st in Marks
2nd in Disposals
4th in Tackles
3 goals
0 behindsComment

I think it is the 4th in tackles that creams off those stats. Playing where he does, it isn't great shakes that he's high in kicks and marks. A lot of those marks are uncontested ones across half back.
But the fact that he is figuring highly in tackles is a very encouraging sign as it shows he's getting in there to do the dirty work too, when it's his turn.
And I suspect Swantastic will tell us that he's miles ahead of any other Swan for effective disposals.Comment
