Is lewis playing?

Is lewis playing His leadership is soooo important

Watch fritsch - potential I thought Spencer was very meh just ordinary Kennedy jkh busy and relentless Kielty and weids nice hands

Quod bonum tenete

Cory maynard for jones Gawn for watts Goody has shown a preparedness to roll the dice with Hannan

Ive got - Achilles tendonitis It is an overwork / overuse condition so I dont understand that "rest" is the opposite of what is required.

I reckon there are questions on the progression of weideman hullett and Smith So I want some extra fwd tall talent Im less in favour of a fwd / ruck type given our recent form with no ruck I dont want a swingman they need to be native fwds

He will be rusty surely? I want him in but want appropriate expectations.

Balanced assessment

Score please

I agree As for a stock is he "fully valued"? Is he low risk low return relative to price?unless he has potential the market doesnt see he is no bargain. Who are the diamonds in the rough? Who is undervalued? Who is worth more playing within our side?

Let me be the first to take credit for the anticipated awesome display of JL agin the bullies - showing leadership providing "structure" and dominating stats. My critique of his last game was clearly the stimulus for his (hopefully) improved performance. If his performance doesnt improve then my critique stands. I think my bases are covered.

I agree he looked very tentative in the last quarter tapping the ball fwd rather than picking it up

Fair point I dobt even know how tall lever is Carlisle is at the height 196 is more common My point is the future is taller

Here here well said 194cm is a midfielder soon if not now

I thought Spencer was pretty underwhelming against Collingwood vfl What did others make of his game? I made the point that not playing a ruck has flow on impacts to other positions so on that basis gawn or spencil makes sense and maybe last week spencer was tentative after injury

Agreed - I may have been tired and emotional but I read into what I saw in this game - half 1 vs the suns and against the Hawks which had me questioning his future. Like many here on his signing I might have anticipated his form back a few years playing in a dominant side.

When people resort to personal abuse you know they are losing an argument Try to be civil

At last a balanced view!

Thanks - I hope we are hard headed when appropriate. One or two bad games is not my point but hopefully nobody is untouchable.

Based on yesterday he wont be playing in 3 years Contracts can be varied by agreement

Lewis poor game covered in the post game thread posts 171 "one bad game" 172 and 324 with reverential reference to structure and leadership I think you lead by what you do and Lewis could have done better yesterday - or could he - is he just too old? My question is "is he above dropping" not necessarily for the bullies but generally?

Hibberd took on the game with line breaking dash - real leadership.

They should just chill

Yes he keeps good company here
