LRT,for me played extremely well,forced into the ruck,against two talented opponents.Popped up forward on a couple of ocassions,took some good grabs. Looks like he is really starting to assert himself as a valued member
of the team after his injuries.
indeed he is!
and what about kieren jack? this is not just a good kid, a promising youngster, this is a serious prospect
he's tough, he can run with the ball, he can deliver on a pinhead from 40m and did anyone pay attention to a period in the last quarter, i think shaun burgoyne (or peter) was trying to run it out of the power defensive 50m, in fact i think jack harrassed burgoyne back into the 50m, and we're talking one of the most elusive, quickest mids in the league, jack hounded him back into a pocket, he had a coupla teammates in support, but jack and brett kirk (i think) between them ended up tackling a port bloke over the boundary for a throw-in
at one stage 4 power players were being corralled by jack and kirk, just beautiful to watch and we were unlucky not to get a free kick
we haven't had that kind of pressure applied defensively by our forwards since 05
sorry to go on, but it was a period of play we should get really excited about
