No.
GTrain was when he moved to full forward a "tank" and very strong , and hence was a "train".
At present Lee is much more of a flanker than a key forward or "train"
So he is much more like the young Gehrig who played on the flank, than the latter G-Train that was the "gorilla" full forward.
Whether he will ether bulk up is not know. However modern football favours aerobic ability, over muscle mass.

Re: Lee Train
Certainly does have a long way to go, but is showing some good signs.
I have a feeling he's a late bloomer. Might be a few more years until he's really consistent.
Good signs clunking some good contented marks though. It just seemed like we never kicked to him in the forward line, or he was never in the right spot?

Re: Lee Train
I think it is more that both Roo and Maister had good games and that players looked for them first. Lee was third choice from the talls, and then also had to share with Milne who was also leading.saint-stu wrote:

One time the ball was kicked and Roo or Lee could f gathered...and I thought Lee should have as he was running at goal, and Roo away, but Lee deferred to Roo the captain as he "called" for it. So Roo gained a stat rather than Lee.
From what I could see Lee did all the right things.

Re: Lee Train
I think that Watters has Lee ear marked as Roo's heir apparent. Lead up CHF. Will need to work on his tank though.spert wrote:No doubt Lee can take a good grab, but Watters will need to work out how Roo, Maister and Lee all work together in the forward line

Re: Lee Train
Its funny how sum are talking him up , and there are others suggesting he may get dropped for team balance etc.
Re: Lee Train
tom lee is not a full forward. he is not a CHF.
he is a third tall on the flank or played deep.

Re: Lee Train
From what I have seen, admittedly not much at all and going on the GWS game that is what they are grooming him for, with Spencer White as a genuine FF, but by the sound of it you have lot more knowledge the me. So where do you see Spencer fitting in ?defacto wrote: you obviously have not seen alot of lee. lee is not and will never be a CHF

Re: Lee Train
He is 195cm... Doesn't have an AFL body yet...I see him a a hit up tall fwd.
White is a mobile fwd also
Stanley can play fwd/back
As can Arryn Siposs
As can Murdoch
As can Dunnell.
Minchington and Saad will be deep fwd crumbers

Re: Lee Train
I didn't think he worked hard enough to space a few times, one good mark that I recall and his goal was a crumb from a Saad contest that he really should have got to! Was blowing hard too For a bloke who didn't get much of it! Happy to play him again as he looks fairly clean with the ball and is a genuine marking type forward which I believe we need over another crumbed like TDL!
Maybe this year?

Re: Lee Train
Spot on, I think if the players up field kick it to Lee more often, we will see him emerge quickly. He can play, love his aerial attack on the footy and is smart with the footy.saintsRrising wrote:I think it is more that both Roo and Maister had good games and that players looked for them first.

Re: Lee Train
Hasnt dominated or anything but I've seen enough to suggest hes going to be a very good player for us. Had to play on Gilham on Saturday who is no slouch. 6 games this year. 12 next year. And then boom a real star in 2015.
