Tom Ledger - baring injury lock him into a midfield rotation role for round one.
Proudly assuming the title of forum Oracle and serving as the inaugural Saintsational ‘weak as piss brigade’ President.

He is not the only one. I am a HUGE fan. He attacks the ball and gut runs like Ben Cousins. The kid can be a superstar. Said so from day 1.
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)

Showed great talent from his first Nab Cup game and had a significant impact in his short stints in the seniors. After getting used to the system and with an extended pre season under his belt I think he should be a regular in 2012. Ahead of Cripps IMO, and will put the likes of Peake, Polo, Jones, Gram and Ray under serious pressure.

Naturally the new coach loves him....
.....Ledger is from Claremont.
We really do have quite amazing WA influence at present amongst players and coaches.
But with George Young and Winmar being amongst my favourite past StKilda players I am not complaining.

Lets hope he can have an injury free crack at it next year. I also really liked what I saw in his brief cameos, but like so many of our young blokes this year, his body was not ready.mad saint guy wrote:Showed great talent from his first Nab Cup game and had a significant impact in his short stints in the seniors.

Hopefully Ledger, Cripps, Siposs and all our young guns can have a sustained impact in 2012 without the injuries.
There is plenty of upside IMO if they can string some games together.

The great John McIntosh came to the Sainters from Claremont.
McIntosh was equal second in the 1971 Brownlow, and is one of my all time favourites.
He was injured during the final series, and unable to play in the 71 Grand Final.
Seven points was the final margin.
Who knows what the outcome would have been if McIntosh was fit to play?
In 1972 John was carried off VFL Park on a stretcher against Collingwood.
They did not have the knowledge that they now have to fix his injury.
Never to play again.![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)

All they said is that it was a knee injury.
They did not go into great detail back then,
but that may be partly due to their lack of expertise in those times
and the intense media coverage is not quite what it is today.
Here is a link that may interest you all.

I hope that in 2012 the team will be picked largely on the basis of proven ability and form, rather than on factors like a player coming from WA.
Ledger looks talented to me, but he also looks small and somewhat fragile for the physical, rather high risk style of footy he plays. I know looks can deceive, so I hope I'm wrong.

Potential dreamteam smokey pick in the mids i am thinking.
He only played 2 games so the price would not change?
That aside we need a few younger players to step in straight away and stay in. The old model did not work and now it is imperative we find a few newer and younger players to play good football.
