Changes for Rnd 5 v Hawks

[Bloody Hell]

Listening to the Ins and outs on the Swans website it appears they spent a bit of time in the match committee discussing what to do with White...

[Bloody Hell]

When?

It is quite possible that LRT was brought in to play on Buddy after he mauled Reg last time.

If that was the case White would still be in the team.

[Big Al]

Spot on.

This reminds me of the 'get rid of Ted' crowd from a few years ago.

The only difference is that Ted wasn't playing well at all in those years whereas LRT has always contributed.

Hey, I was part of that crowd...and we were right. He was rubbish....gave up 3 goals a week from stupid decisions, schoolboy turnovers or unnecessary frees.

I must know nothing about football 'cos he suddenly grew a brain as well as a heart. Barely puts a foot wrong and right now is in AA contention for CHB

Absolute rubbish.

I hope I don't come across as bashing him, I was pretty happy with Lewis' performance in the first couple of games and was content with him to hold his place- I just think that White had possibly been slightly better in his two games on the trot so it seems odd to me for Lewis to be an automatic inclusion in the team.

Disagree that White has shown more in his 2 games then LRT. Regardless of this, LRT surely has enough credits in the bank to earn selection.

He should be (and is) one of the first picked every week.

[Peace]

LRT for White is a shocking decision LRT was very ordinary. I don't think people bag for awkwardness, I think he gets too much credit because he looks like he is trying so hard

Absolute rubbish.

Huh??.... There's no belt on my bib and brace overalls.

....because no belt could restrain that blubber, bubba.

I'm disappointed for Jesse as I was impressed last weekend. However more than happy to see LRT back - sometimes I still wonder if LRT's main issue, according to some people on here, is that he is a Sydney boy from a rugby background and by definition could therefore not be good enough?

Excited to see the helmet, though.

It just screams 'premiership'.

LRT logically has to come in for White. You know you'll get a pretty reasonable game out of LRT. With White he could play like last week or he could play like he usually plays.

It is the belt around your girth, Al

Gee, it's amazing how opinions can turn once you have been out injured. The coaching panel love LRT. He gained a two-year contact last year because LRT can ruck, play back or forward, and occasionally kick goals. That makes him a good all round contributor and balancer for the team. White has had more chances than a hooker at a buck's party. As a tall forward/second ruck he just doesn't cut it. You have to mark and kick goals - he don't. I thought he played well (for him) last week in what was a winning side. Against the Hawks, he is a liability. With LRT you get someone who is reliable and able to deliver.

"Hi, you know I've been watching you work with that Powerade stuff for a while now and I was wondering... would you like to try to handle something that's a littler higher in Al-ectrolites?"

Warning Al, be Alert but not Alarmed. That Stella is a naughty one.
