We finally saw him at the end of the season? Should he have got back sooner? How important was his absence? How much more improvement does he need to find?
Rate away.

Easily our biggest hole we tried to patch up all year.
With Bazza down for most part , The Hyphen was our main loss of the year.
Bolts & Leo for most weeks play out of their weight division and LRT is our big man in defence against bigger key forwards. Its a credit to what Leo & Bolts were able to do for most part. Will make a huge difference to us this year.
Cant be rated on one game.
His 3 senior games for the year were pretty reasonable for someone who had been out for so long. He was far from our worst in the two Pies games, while the whole team was magnificent in round 22.
The fact he took so long to get over his foot injury was a disappointment, however. And also so was the fact that when he returned to reserve grade footy he never really dominated in the way a player with his senior experience should. It is hard to judge a key defender in the Canberra league but he was played all over the ground and rarely grasped a game and really took it on.
However I disagree with the poster above who says we never really missed him. I reckon his importance to the backline structure is understated and am looking forward to him playing a whole season in 2008.
2/10 - Only played 2 games as he was out for the majority of the season with a foot injury and didn't contribute much. Hopefully, he'll do much better next year when fully fit and fill the gap that was present in the backline for much of 2007.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore
His big man power is a huge plus on our undersized backline, and with Leo slowing, Lewie's role this year will assume more importance. Keep our fingers crossed that his foot is 100% now...4/10 only due to unfitness
We missed him badly when he was out with the structure of the backline - it just left too much for Bolton and Barry to do, especially with Kennelly down as well.
It was LRT's absence that resulted in the defensive experiments of Brennan and Grundy - we need LRT fit and firing.
On what he did do - he was certainly not at fault for the two Collingwood losses, and the Hawks game, the defence hardly got a look in.
2.5/10 - with the expectation of a much higher mark in 2008.

I know he didn't play much.
He scores extra points because we miss him when he's not there. That's gotta count for something.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun. Blessedare the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

That is what I said
1/10 God didn't we miss the (fit) unco unit. Not the busted foot version.
