Lrt

[hammo]

Yep, an average of less than 2 a game puts him way down the list.

Interesting stats.

The one that interests me the most is LRT's average of 1 contested mark every 5 games (0.2 per game). That is woeful for a key defender.

True, but his job would be to spoil more than mark.

Don't agree with that, but would be interested to prove either way, what key defenders take many contested marks these days, how can we check?

The swans can only play what they have and LRT is clearly in our best 22.

Tom Harley averages 0.9 but not many defenders on this list.

On contested marks checked Champion Data for Geelong

Tom Harley 29
Hunt 17
Taylor 9
Milburn 4
Scarlett 4

Swannies

LRT 4
Barry 7
Richards 13

Interestingly Barry Hall despite horrendous season 38

[dread and might]

When Roos came to Swans he was no quicker than LRT, just had eleventy 7 hundred games more than him experience wise. :

You are suggesting the only thing wrong wit his game is pace.

Unscramble the following puzzle at you leisure: (Note; there is more than one combination which may be grammatically correct, but only one factually correct one.)

IS ROOS BOOT TIE FIT LRT TO NOT LACES

Hardly. Defenders are there to spoil. If they risk taking a mark, and don't, and the opposition either marks or it spills behind the pack for the crumbers, then the defender gets absolutely blasted. I'm happy if we take zero contested marks in our backline, so long as we keep spoiling.

[Melbournehammer]

that is a laugh that lrt is close enough to spoil. from what i have seen he is usually 2-3 m behind, or on his arse or getting a free kick against him for noy watching the ball and having both arms around his opponent.


and his clanger couny should be measured against the number of times he gets the ball...

[ScottH]

(Averages per game)
1.9 clangers per 11.9 possessions.

1 in 6 posessions is a clanger.

Compared to Goodes
2.6 per 17.7
roughly 1 in 6.

Hall
3.7 per 14.3
roughly 1 in 4

C Bolton
2.1 per 16.8
rougly 1 in 8

So his ratio is not so bad.

I think LRT's current problem is like half the team he's out of form. He let Cloke run off him so easily last week.

WHen he's playing well he's big, mobile and can take a grab. His biggest problem as a player is his decision making - just lacks judgement, which is a worry for a key defender.

We don't have many other mobile big men, especially ones who can play up back. I don't see anyone coming through who can take his place, especially when Leo B is about to retire. So I can't see LRT getting culled just yet.
