He is a butcher pure and simple.

Stop looking for saviours, we dont have any. Not one.

Surface a bit better than TBBO as well.
See if his disposal improves with better footing etc.
Decision-making? Improve that with Hexarelin or Cybrmyalin injections.
They're all doing it at the top end of town :evil:
Wouldn't make a skerrick of difference!

Couldn't have said it better. Other issues is lack of tackling and his selfishness. Never gives off the handball to the mid in space for a better placed kick

Then add to that he has tweeted negative comments about the club and that seals the deal. Send him back to Claremont

Im not sure how that works. if he plays well surely we wouldnt get rid of him and if he plays as expected which seems like it will be average then he is worth nothing.

How is he expected to play?

On what evidence can we be. Certain he will be bad??

Is it
Fact he averages 30 per hame in the VFL? And has done pretty much since debuting.... One thing as sure as s***, he outperformed Jamie Cripps in the VFL and didn't shirk the contest.... He's a tough small inside mid.

I remember we were all on Ledger after 2011.... He was the #1 smokey in a lot of dream teams and that stemmed from Ross (the great one) really rating Tom.... And Tom shining in his few opportunities with StK

I think he may struggle at AFL level due to lack of composure, but I can't be sure, haven't seen him have a good run at it in the seniors....

BTW

Just because StK don't pick you, doesn't necessarily mean you can't play.... In fact, there is an argument that the opposite is true... So Tom may have a future.... Just elsewhere....

Very strange that you keep bringing up cripps. Is it because you are embarressed that you decided a player was no good because there was no photo. I notice he has played 11 games this year at WCE. Strange that a tough player like Worsfold keeps playing this so called dog. Your words not mine.

I wonder?...

Mention of the photo?

Some rubbish, and ridiculous comment....

Still getting my head around you, speaking to someone who isn't listening.... I couldn't give a rats about your opinion, you are obsessed by mine... It hilarious.

20 seconds later, another reply... If only I knew.... NOT!

he is expected to follow the coaches instructions and not bang it on the boot at every god damn opportunity

his disposal is the worst i have seen of any st kilda player

Lets hope the coach finally backs in Ledger and gives him a shot this week.
Would rather watch someone with a little bit of grunt who can get the ball than whats happening at the moment..
Defacto surely you been watching Jones disposal..? Jack Daniels ..? Give the kid a break and he might surprise ..
Hope he proves a few experts wrong if given a chance ..!!


Jack Newnes happy to be a Saint !!!! PS and to hit a target !!!

CJ's and Daniel's disposal is excellent compared to Lurker!

I stand by this, but if he is given a game i hope he absolutely kills it and proves me wrong.

Would love that to happen.


Lance or James??

Comparing Goddard to Sipposs, please!!! Nice kicking action there only similarity.

Retweeting re the club letting Lynch go, please!!! Surely the club can handle feedback from employees, either accept it or deal with it, don't hod a grudge though!

Not selecting a guy averaging 30 in the feeder comp, please!!! Poor selection decisions is all it comes down to!


Maybe this year?
