What do I think? I think you're [Frog:Text removed]. (He asked your honour.)
What do the contribution of Jetta and Reid have to do with LRT? Deflect much?
You may have lowered your expectations in life to the point where you are happy to have a full forward who doesn't kick goals - I have not. Send him down back where he plays best and is comfortable. Pick a forward, who still brings the ball to ground, creates tackling pressure, etc....but who kicks goals!

The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
I like it when RWO has a 15 page thread on changes to the team, then come Thursday night and its - NO CHANGE.
So NO CHANGE.
I forgot Mal was included but he did pick up towards the end. They won't take injured or recovering players on such a long trip. Mal to sub.
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
Is Johnson injured? Or was he taken off as a like for like with Armstrong. I reckon he was subbed off earlier in the year.
You are right Lukie is not ready. He was very short of a run in the first half of the resies. He did improve his work-rate in the second half but his judgement was a bit off and that is not like him. I think he definitely needs another week. The unfortunate problem is the Two's don't play this week and that could set him back one more week.
Burt LRT is better down back as he proved in the last half last week. He was really good coming over the back for the spoil and looked to feel more comfortable back home in the back line. Loved what he did in the last half there. Don't think he is a great forward, yes he does bring the ball to ground but if there are no runners to pick the spoils the ball comes back out again as he doesn't mark too many. I think we need someone who can pull down the marks other than Reid. LRT can surprise us sometimes by pulling down the big one but not enough. Pykie has proved he can take the big mark as has Mummy & Joey.
I think LRT's role has to change to the backline in games where their forward targets are of the ruckman type!
All I was saying is you are not seeing the game live they only see what the tele allow you to see. We see everything at the ground. Interstate games we have the same problem as you but at least for 11 games we can see it live. That gives us a good idea of what is happening on the whole ground. You Southerners are blind to that for at least 16 games a season. You also don't get to see the resies Aardvark so you have no idea as to how a player is going in his preparation or return from injury except what the resies watchers and the club say.
I am a Resies Watcher and go to all the games that are scheduled before the Seniors. I can't get to places like Canberra as I don't drive and it is a hell of a long trip by train but I might make it there one day. The problem with making changes to a side is the players coming back need to be ready. If the people who go out and watch training say someone is not in the main training group then I presume they won't be returning. So let us wait on how Marty pulls up this week and forget Lukie for now.
