At the end of 2004 (when he was drafted) he was the player who gave us hope as others in the supposed fab 5 in his draft year fell away.  He's an absolute star when he is on song and he has given us outstanding service, not often missing games. Sure he didnt have a good one against the Pies but he wasnt alone. Lids has been great value and he is in our top 3 players. Cant ask for much more IMHO.

I actually thought he was better than most on Saturday.  Still got a lot of the ball but let himself down a couple of times with poor decisions.  Not sure who else in the 22 you could mark higher on their game last weekend.

Tend to agree smokey, wasn't his best game but he wasn't our worst

Thing that was of most concern on Satruday for mine was he had more handballs than kicks. Being the best kick in our saide you want him kicking it more than handballing it IMO

If vickery could catch his kick into the forward line when jack was open wouldn't have Ben mentioned.

I don't get why he played on at times, usually a good smart player but seemed to get a bit ahead of him self. Got the handball out but as people say, should've been kicking and he couldn't when he plays on straight into a defender.

again he wasnt the only one.
the amount of times they went one too many with a chain of handballs, a player time to kick handballing to someone who got pressured. :banghead

frustrating to watch, particularly as you say , lids is one of the blokes you want kicking the ball.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

we rarely have won big crunch games so you would expect our players to not be dominant....when the collective unit changes this ,then stars like lids will shine

I would bet the team instructions was play on at all costs or something similar.

Yeah but just two off the top of my head seemed silly

He is being tagged by the best in the league.

Expect a big 2nd half from him, and he would feel this too.

agree Nick, Crowley towels up nigh on every single opponent he takes week in week out, beast of a tagger. Dont know if Lids can break the shackles tbh but I like how he was sacrificing his own game and creating a 2 on 1 by going to Mundy so Cotch could get free. Team play

You are saying he is a "dud".

I am just saying how his impact tonight was A grade for an A grade player.
