    It's a mark of the team's transition - and our optimism - that 'No change' is now met with widespread approval.

    Also a sign of our depth that players like Teddy and Nick Smith don't get a run. Still curious as to how LRT gets a game

    He's 6'5"..he beats his man almost every week..he makes a few mistakes like most players, but because of where he plays , the consequences are more immediate..He is taking either the first or second tall at the minute..and who do you suggest to replace him?
    I always think he is much maligned because he had a rocky start with us, and because he doesn't LOOK the perfect defender. His disposal of the ball is generally excellent.

    Agree, despite the way he looks and how he got to the Swans he would still be getting a game as the second key defender at more than 1/2 of the AFL sides at present.

    We are lucky we have someone who is 6'5" and is capable of taking taller forwards and spoil in most of the situations one on one. Whether he is prone to brain fades or the occasional stuff up is irrelevant, LRT is in the team to make sure the opposition tall forwards don't take marks.

    I totally agree with you Royboy. LRT bashing is so 2005. He's now a key and competent defender and his absence from the team would be a great loss. Demotion to the 2's is ludicrous.

    Just watching League Teams and they showed an amazing statistic. As follows:

    Year............ Kick Disposals.......Kick Efficiency

    2010.................#4....................#1
    2009.................#16..................#13
    2008..................#13.................#14
    2007..................#16.................#12
    2006..................#16.................#16

    Rohan Smith said the Esky had 20 kicks I think to half time or quarter time at 100% efficiency. So Sydney is first for kick efficiency.

    Someone changed the game plan and above is the proof.
