Name three people you would invite to dinner. And do you read the 'Richard's Report?'

LRT, you seem to be playing a variety of roles at the moment, is it hard to settle into a position when you are shifted around the ground all the time? GO SWANS!
Cooper on 8:59 AM Tuesday, 24 May 2011 said:
Hey LRT. Congratulations on your return to the side. Your first two games back were courageous, great to see you back out there. How was it returning after such a long period out? What role do the coaches want you to play? Because you seem to be providing a strong contest in the forward line.Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Hi Lewis great to see you back - I am a bit concerned with the ruck load on Mummy - you did some work there but not for long - do you think we need another genuine ruckman such as Mark Seaby to help him out?

Love your work LRT. Being a great rugby union fan myself, what position did you play back in the day.
Elaine Purse on 7:51 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hi Lewie,So glad to have you back on the ground. Although you have some good years yet can you tell me what your career aspirations are after footy?
Sharron on 6:59 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hi LRT, its about time you were back in the side, just wondering why do you think our ball skills are not as sharp or intense as they were last season and why are we not able to hit targets as well as we should be so early in the season?
Kate Harvey on 6:21 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hey Lewie, Firstly welcome back. You have been sorely missed. I'm a big fan and believe you should've won the Norm Smith in 2005. Played the game of your life. Are you enjoying your time in the ruck or prefer to be down the back? I think you could've given Buddy a run for his money on Sunday.

Hi Lewie, Why are you playing forward now? How do you do those giant jumps, do you have to practice them? Who is your best friend at the Swans?

Great to see you back in the team lrt. Is there a position you particularly like to play in, as since your return you have been utilised a lot in the ruck and down forward? What impact did brett kirk have on you as a player and fellow team mate? All the best for the rest of season 2011 and Take care, cheers tania.

Yesterday game against the Hawks was a terrible one for the Swans. Do you think the swans can cope with this horrible loss? Will they get their feet together again? How will they achieve this? Good luck LRT! Enjoy football :)

Hey LRT do you see yourself in the future as the new age versatile Ruckman, as you can help out in defence than if mummy needs a rest help him out in the ruck and if we need a goal we can send you down forward cheers.

Hey there Lewis,Have you seen the movie Thor yet? With all your experience of shaking down the thunder, did you think about trying out for the title role or would the filming schedule have interfered with your pre-season/recovery too much?
Adam Coles on 3:35 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hey mate, love your work. Australian cricketers always said Glenn McGrath was the biggest 'pest' around the locker room. Who's the biggest 'pest' at the Swans?
Yvonne on 3:31 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hi Lewie, How did it feel to have a fellow hyphen Trent Dennis-Lane join the club last year? Do you guys hold your own Hyphenators Only meeting?
Shkoles on 2:53 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hey lewis,what do your old rugby team mates think of the afl and the success that you have had in your afl career? What was the determining factor that made you make the switch from rugby to afl?
Margaret on 2:39 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hi LRT! Congratulations on returning into the Sydney Swans side! Ir has been quite an inconsistent few years for you. In five years time, where do see yourself playing at which position? I see you tend to float around between defending, forward and a bit of rucking. Would you prefer to stay as a defender where you have done so well a few years ago?
Matthew on 2:01 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hi lewis it is awesome to see you back. What is the main thing that we need to get back in to the team to reclaim the form like when we were beating Essendon and West Coast?
Matt Hart on 1:57 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hey Lewis. You seem to be playing alot up forward since your return, is that were you would like to stay or eventually would you like to move back to your usual position in defence. Great to see you back, keep up the good work.
Matt on 1:54 PM Monday, 23 May 2011 said:
Hey LRT, Since you have been back I've seen you playing in the forward line a bit. Was just wondering if you are going to continue to play there or will you go back to defending the opposition's best forwards?
