It's tommy time...

[SainterK]

Tom Lee.

Please step forward.

[matrix]

i agree K
people saying he doesnt seem to be doing enough in the ressies
but when he comes into the side he seems to do alright
id persist with him in the seniors

[Rosco]

Step fwd and step up

Hopefully see billings vs the crows too

[fingers]

Was pretty good at Sandy today. Should get a run for Maister

[saintbart]

Yep..and reckon Bruce goes in. Delaney is lucky Gilbert is now injured. Thought Delaney made too many errors to keep his spot but with the Gilbert injury, that may save him.

[White Winmar]

I know Beau has a role to play and crashing packs and luring multiple defenders away from Roo is amongst them, but in the end, as a forward, you have to be able to at least take a chest mark and kick some goals. Beau just can't seem to do the latter two. Time for Tommy Lee.

People say he wasn't doing anything in the ressies because he hadn't done anything in the ressies.

Got a few weeks of match fitness into him.

Billings, Longer and Simpkin in.

Beau, Savage and Gilbo out.

Was Longer an emergency today?

There were reports that he had flown over? Not sure though. Happy to see Lee in for Longer if need be.

Billings after his display today is a monty to get back in the 22 and not just as an emergency IMO.

I don't understand the fascination with having two rucks who can't really play forward in the same side. How can Longer and Hickey possibly play together?

They can both go forward and kick goals, unlike Beau who plays like a beau.

Tom Lee is a footballer, he will be a gun!

Would have thought that Hickey proved he could indeed play forward 2 weeks ago.

[Griggsy]

Not much to lose in playing him, as long as he doesn't lose confidence if he is dropped again.

He kicked two out of those three roaming forward from the ruck. That's completely different to being a permanent forward. Tonight he barely touched it when stationed inside 50.

Yet to be convinced.

[SainterK]

I'm convinced beau isn't up to it berg...

[gringo]

I hope Lee plays against Adelaide and kicks ten goals to say thanks for the delisting after one season.

[bergholt]

I'm convinced beau isn't up to it berg...

I agree, every week I'm more and more convinced that he's not good enough. But I'm just not sure Lee can play the same role. He presented well for Sandy today but didn't exactly crash packs - generally kicks his goals after a lead and mark.

But you're right, maybe Longer is worth a try as a big body down there.

[BigMart]

Hickey kicked all of his goals playing as a Ruckman...

Kicking goals as a Mid is nothing like playing forward.

[Old Mate]

I'm convinced beau isn't up to it berg...

Has he lied about his age? Looks about 40, plays that way too.

Lee and Sippa were certainly enjoying themselves tonight at CQ, not sure either have the dedication.

Is that a nightclub?

They are allowed to go out a bit aren't they?

Were they pissed?

[Toy Saint]

Lee has better goal kicking or finishing ability, but Beau gets to a lot more contests and crashes a lot more packs. We need Lee to work like Beau.

[kimberly saint]

great to see lee getting few touches , id like to see him billings produce two weeks of good consistent footy in the twos before we just rush them in , the side has been going ok be nice to see players earn a spot at saints .
