    Well LRT is not very quick and sadly his brain missed the bus to Canberra.

      He's been doing that too often this season.

        LRT was poor, but he was far from our worst. In defence, Richards and Grundy alone were worse than Lewie, and across the ground O'Loughlin, McVeigh and Ablett all performed worse.

        He'd been out of the game for a couple of weeks, and never had the opportunity to settle in and find his game-legs, so to speak, as almost from the get-go he was tested to the extreme by the Doggies' midfield. There were no confidence boosters to start off with, no help from his teammates, he was always fighting a losing battle, and not being able to find any touch worsened the situation. The only Swans defender that can be satisfied with their performance would be Craig Bolton, so to pick on LRT in particular is being pretty unfair, I reckon.
        Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

          Needs to go back to the backline.

            LRT might find himself in trouble with the MRP.
            I'm sure I saw him try to squeeze in a punch at one stage yesterday.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
            Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

              Firstly there was the dodgy play on call that caused Malceski to hospital pass to LRT which ended with the tackle free on him.

              Then the b@@@@@@t 50 against LRT for an obvious short pass. LRT was clearly committed to the tackle and was within a 100th of a second from the tackle when the lazy whistle finally came. And the commentators still missed it during their brilliant analysis at half time. Play to the whistle they kept saying, der.
              It was a trifecta of blunders as clearly LRT had no prior opportunity on the HTB. Maybe that's why LRT gave the 50m away - "Who does this ump think he is? If anyone's gonna do three clangers in a minute it's gonna be me!"

                I don't condone that stuff, but from him I was pleased to see it!
                He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                    That would be right for a north shore type. The boys are drinking water whilst Lurch is running around after punch!

                      Did you see the 2005 GF !!! or notice what happened to Swans defense in 2007 when LRT was injured?

                      Here is the list. Tell us guru ... how many of the below comparative KPP backs you think are better than LRT ????.

                      Don't worry I will help you and give you a start by nominating some (bolded)


                      St Kilda: Jason Blake Sam Fisher

                      PORT: Alipate Carlile Troy Chaplin

                      BRIS: Joel Macdonald Jared Brennan

                      Hawthorn: Thomas Murphy Campbell Brown (Trent Croad injured)

                      Melb: Matthew Warnock,Stefan Martin

                      Essendon: Tayte Pears, Cale Hooker

                      Collingwood: Simon Prestigiacomo, Nathan Brown

                      WCE: Darren Glass Eric Mackenzie

                      Richmond: Kelvin Moore Luke McGuane

                      Adelaide: Ben Rutten Scott Stevens

                      Freo: Chris Tarrant, Luke McPharlin

                      North: Scott Thompson Nathan Grima

                      Bulldogs: Brian Lake Tom Williams

                      Geelong: Matthew Scarlett Tom Harley

                      Carlton: Michael Jamison Jarrad Waite

                      Swans: Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Craig Bolton


                      I can't find many that are clearly better and possibly only two combinations overall!!! Over to you guru!
                      I hope this was a drunk post. The funniest part is you put LRT, THEN Craig Bolton.
