It's time...

For LRT to go.

omg thankyou for this thread. I made a thread the other week. We all love his work ethic, but seriously. He cant kick any goals, hes useless on the ground. We need to draft or trade for another key forward. Had enough of this sh**.

[TPR4]

Spangher in as the 2nd tall, rotate through the second ruck as the floating tall. What I can see happening is Pyke out with LRT 2nd ruck with Spang in. Hope the first scenario happens

[longmile]

I agree. Move him back to defence or get rid of him. Doesnt offer much up forward, especially with Pyke or Mumford doing the defensive forward role when resting.

[JudesaGun]

The problem is his "competing" only takes our forward line so far. Either TDL needs to come back or Morton or Spangher given a chance.

for those with no understanding of the game and how geelong play - his role was to make scarlett accountable and not allow them to set up from defence - LRT did an excellent job

We know that. Its his attacking work which is horrible. and the 2 goals he should have kicked, one didnt even make the distance could have proved to be the momentum turners. Goodesy also missed from 15 out which set us back.

Pretty sure that's what Mumford and Pyke did most of the time.

LRT would not get a game in any other reasonable side. That is a fact. He should have played on hawkins tonight as grundy was struggling. He can't ruck at all. I have no idea why he is playing as any other reserves forward would offer more. His decision making is poor as is his disposal. Time to go, he's had his time.

LRT does exactly what he is asked to do by the coaches. Good defensive work and doal assist for Reid. Should have kicked one goal at least

I think that's a rather kind review of Lewis' performance.

[ernie koala]

Scarlett had 17 possessions...LRT had...4 possessions, 1 behind, 1 tackle.....
That's a poor return, regardless of his role.
We need a forward at FF, not a defender.

This

Not only does he offer nothing in terms of an attacking option, but Scarlett killed him coming out the other way so it was a fail/fail performance

Love the guy but we can't go all the way this year with LRT as one of our permanent forwards

I'll need to see a replay to confirm this but I thought for the majority of the night the forward matchups were

Taylor Goodes
Lonergan Reid
Scarlett Mumford/Pyke
Hunt LRT
