He just needs to increase his awareness.
He needs to realise that you can't just get the footy and jog with it, you actually have to run otherwise you will get caught as many times as he did last night.

The run from defence is the only way to win a game of footy.
If a team cant "break the lines" then the forward line has no chance.
I see it as the swans greatest asset over the rest of this season.
Ask BBB who must love the look of that run openning up the space.
I think the whole team will be stranger with the run and BBB back to be the forward focus.
leo wouldn't understand what awareness meant.
he needs a chaperone to find the toilet.
replies to other comments.
we already have plenty of running defenders,richards and bolton do their fair share.
either of them could hold fullback until faulks or white are ready,with bbh coming back,playfair will be looking for a postion,maybe chb and shuffle the deckchairs in defence.
forgotten 1996
2005 a much sweeter memory,2012 even better
Leo has been great this year. Sure, not the player he once was, but has still been in our top 10 players this year, I reckon. People criticise him because he often runs himself into trouble, but 9 times out of 10 he runs himself back out of trouble. He might take a slightly longer route than Kennelly, Malceski or Mattner, but he gets there in the end. And he has been much better defensively this year than last.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
we have won 4 in a row.
Yeah lets drop one of the captains. That will do wonders for team moral.
I love the balance of our team at the moment, and some of the unpopular decisions made by Roos and co in the past have really worked out.
If match selections were made by popular vote there would have been no LRT in the 05 grand final, Bevan would be following a different career path, McVeigh might be at Essendon, J Bolton would be retired etc. People even want Mickey O dropped from time to time!!
Genius to keep playing LRT and Bevan and fill them with confidence. Same with Super Ted, Jolly etc.
To be critical - I didn't agree with Grundy's treatment in 2007 - in and out of the team, in different positions, he didn't develop. Whether that is entirely on his shoulders I don't know, but I like promising players to be given a go.
I don't agree with Schmidt being dropped in the latter part of 07, also I wish he had played last night rather than Barlow.
I hope Bird is back this week and the rest was only because he is young and to keep him on the paddock for the rest of the year, as I would hate it if his confidence was dented by being dropped.
I must admit I find it hard to watch when Leo Gets the ball these days.You never know what he is going to do.I suppose he gets the ball so that's a positive I guess.
"As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.
At least Leo gave some of his frees away up around the wing last week.
Leo is a predictable beast. He tends to play better footy in the second half of the season and if the 3 running half backs stay on the ground he will be less conspiciuos and less work to do.
By the way when was the last time he kicked out on a regular basis. It's one of those things most supporters miss.
Sadly I don't think so.
It seems that a lot of supporters prefer to focus on the negative despite the positives outweighing it.
