Wasn't sure I would ever have a good enough reason to stop using my Farren Ray avatar, but here we are. Lindsay is arguably the most courageous player on our list - cops it unreasonably from opposition supporters every week but still does his job and holds his head high, as he damn well should. We love you Lindsay :)

This is the only time I have altered my Schimma avatar. It is not something I do lightly.

But what is happening to LT is wrong and this week I want to show him how much he is loved & respected by this ardent Roo.

Who is with me?
I am

Would love to read a LT autobiography one day after he retires. Be fantastic to read about his evolution as a person, and an insight into how he dealt with being constantly antagonised by opposition fans, the media, and even some of our own supporters.

This wouldn't be an issue if the umpire paid the free kick when Lindsay was slung without the ball.
Very, very good point, just about the most obvious umpire miss of the night
Apart from the other one.

Where the umpire missed a player dropping a mark and paid the mark then a bogus fifty metre penalty.

Is there any relationship between the hysterical noise machine in the media and those 2 decisions.

The club needs to be right on this cos it costs us onfield as well as being a terrible case of scapegoating and harassment.

Whats the prediction on free kicks missed that should have gone to LT tomorrow night. I suspect it will be like the game against the Cats a few years back, when LTs name was up and about, where he should have got a few free kicks, but was given absolutely nothing by the umpires!

If someone can photoshop LT's bonce into my old Mustang I'll be in also.

I hope he kicks 10 goals tonight and takes out Dusty, Cotch and Deledio with fair bumps in the process.
C'mon TT. If you change your avatar, that'd be a big statement!

As for Lindsay dishing out fair bumps? "Fair" by today's rules, but not by tomorrow's after the resultant rule change.
