Lee was probably expected to play at least a few games this year at his age. Spencer will be handled carefully as he will be a long term FF project and won't be rushed.

He was willing to mix it up with Lynden Dunn. His got better as the game went on and took 7 or 8 marks for the game (mostly in the forward 50). His kicking was off but I wouldn't be surprised if his ball drop was thrown by the big cast on his arm. Out positioned Frawley quite easily to mark in the last quarter.
Fair call, it was a shame he hurt his leg/ankle as he was really getting a bit of momentum. Came back on and was good, but would have loved a full game out of him to put some pressure on and get some confidence

Even in his first game for us when he started slow, he came good in the second half.

Players have many times commented that when stepping up to AL level that the pace of the game is just that bit faster that it takes a while to adjust.

So far he has displayed all the "tools" that he was said to have been drafted for. He just needs to adjust to the higher level, and get more core strength.
IMO the early signs are positive.
