What a magnificent game he played against Adelaide. Thought that was the best game he has ever played. Flogged his opponents, provided drive and took on opponents. Looked every bit a top 5 pick in the draft.

Keep it up Livo.


Our key defensive posts are now tied up so now we can build around them and formulate the cornerstone of any premiership team, a solid back 6.

Too bad we've run out of gas.

I thought Livo went ok ...what he needs to do is play every remaining game and cement his spot.
I hope he doesnt get Barry Hall this week as I dont think he is suited to the fast leading types and getting Hall who has been playing well and is due for a bag might dent his confidence....

Livo was injured for 6 weeks and Norman couldn't get a game. He must be sky high on confidence.

It will depend if we can get T-Bird or Teague to go and fill Hall's lead space, and cut him out of the play.
If that's the case, I think Livo has the one-on-one strength to stay with him.

Was that said tongue-in-cheek? I mean come on, I'll agree that his game was pleasing and that his presence is pretty damn important to the team, but the best game he's ever played? Flogged his opponents? Looked every bit a top 5 draft pick?

Livo looked a lot more confident in himself and played that way. In the past he's looked panicky under pressure. He also looks to have put on a stack of muscle and strength, as evidenced by him outbodying Lynch in the Whizzer.
I'm starting to feel a lot more confident that Luke will make the grade.

Read Wojee's post.

Can Livo get us a PP?

I thought that was the only thing that could save us.

I was waiting for a Livo-praise thread. I thought he was excellent on the weekend!

Did an excellent job on McGregor who has played well in recent weeks. We look much better when he and Thornton are in the same team.

Is he eligible.....


Ok, Great to have him back!

But they were together throughout the whole Wizard Cup and his return match last week

And yeah, i've gotta agree. Livo's came on in leaps and bounds, i just hope he stays injury free. He could definitley be the answer to our FB problems. He straitens up us so much and gives up the structure we need, just like Hansen does at the Eagles. Will be good to see him stick it up the doubters aswell.

Point?

I can understand how a CHF or FF can 'straighten' a team up (or so I thought) but how would a fullback do this?

Ps- Go Livo

livo should play on barry hall this week, and thornton playing on O'Loughlin

you have to remember he playd pretty much the whole game with all 18 players pushing back, we squeezed there midfield making it harder to get clean possesion going into the 50. Livos chance to impress will be this week

... but the hampster is dead.
