It is very hard for oppositions to isolate LRT in the last line because he plays it so well. I reckon there are few RWOers eating LRT humble pie for tucker tonight. Add a bit of sweet chilli sauce folks to make it taste a bit better. Chew it well so the lumps don't get caught in your throat.
    Hehehe, yes indeedy.

    Grundy has better rebound and ball skills though. It will be interesting if horse likes today's forward setup. He might play all 3 back and push shaw into midfield.

      DB, I completely disagree with your comparison. LRT doesn't turn it over very often and hardly ever when not under pressure as against Grundy. No point rebounding if you kick it straight to the opposition. Also LRT doesn't give away dumb frees.

          Disagree, not saying lrt turns ball over but Grundy has better skills and decision making when the pump is on. LRT Better spoiling and contest. However, with the way we set up now with Marty drifting I reckon Grundy more value down back. If we play cats, reckon LRT will stand Hawkins though

          Can't believe I am arguing against the soft haired one!!!!

              I agree with Nico, Grundy has not been good at making the right decisions under pressure this year - not sure his rebounding skill is that strong either (not that LRT is super strong on the rebound either, but I prefer LRT over Grundy).

                How sweet it is.

                Came over on impulse and the team got the chocolates.

                Wasn't it fun to see all the Crows supporters start disappearing in that last quarter?

                Cannot wait for the prelim.

                Go Swannies!

                  Nah disagree, but you know what, we are lucky to be arguing this point. We have 2 very good key defenders. One of whom, can provide a very good forward option.

                    Brilliant game.

                    Not to raise hopes, but Darcy on 7mate said ANZ is not yet locked in for the prelim, depending on what happens with NRL games.

                    What would you prefer: a full, 1/4 demolished SCG or a potentially huge ANZ crowd?

                      Well done Swannies!!!!!!!!! Fantastic win. Finished in the top three on the ladder and now have a week off to prepare for the Prelim final. We couldn't have dreamed of this at the beginning of the season.

                      Third quarter when the heat was really on there were a lot of poor disposals between half back and half forward because of the pressure - but defensively we held them out none the less - yayyyyyyyy, no fade out. Needed Armstrong and his skills to link up between the two halves.

                      Loved LRT down back, he would be such an advantage against the monster forwards but you would think Reg would be put back in his old spot - where else would you put him. Pikey didn't have much of an impact today, maybe leave him out - ouch - and swing LRT into the support ruck role and back up forward?

                        Darcy knows nothing about it. The game will be at ANZ, but I doubt it will be a huge crowd at those outrageous prices for the prelim.

                          Ha, that was my response too. Finals are always at ANZ, unless someone really stuffed up with the bookings.

                            The swans intense last few weeks seemed to give them the added steel over Adelaides soft run-in. Although we looked pretty damaged by the end. A much needed rest. Great stuff.

                            Far from eating humble pie I thought LRT showed where he belongs and relished it. Also gives a forward like Morton/Walsh etc a chance to develop. Selection dilemmas though with a midfielder out and another defender to come back!

                              All the word is that the AFL really stuffed up with bookings. The game probably will be played at ANZ, just not when the AFL wanted.
