Let's get behind Tom Lee today

Post: # 1473590Post Milne »

It'll be a small but hopefully vocal crowd this afternoon. We are playing against a team we were close to beating earlier in the season who are now out of form since beating us and almost let Gold Coast run over them last week.

There should hopefully be more supply to the forward line this week so let's back our boy in and see what he's got.

Let's hope people don't get behind him in the way a football club's board gets behind its coach! I hope Tommy makes it. We desperately need him to.

I have a bit of time for Tom Lee, has all the tools to be a good football player. He just needs to somehow become more aerobically fit so he can put manic forward pressure on, a pre requisite of the modern forward. Let's hope he doesn't cop any Troy Schwartz like treatment..


and that's the bottom line

Nearly every time Lee relieves in the ruck, WCE kick a goal

I think he's been pretty good but needs to kick his goals.

Missing by a very wide margin but that's what he is in the team for. Maybe try someone else next week IMHO.

Got better as the game went on. Riewoldt wasn't anymore effective.

Perhaps Tom Lee needs to get behind Tom Lee and back himself.

He probably needs to play the season out as we have a shocking injury list and all the other forwards are either injured, like Schneider, or not good enough like Stanley and Beau. Markworth needs to come in for Milera though, as Milera cannot contest. He can't mark and he can't crumb. He lacks physicality IMO.

Thought Lee showed a bit today, maybe not for a top draft pick, but still showed something.

He was ok. Very slow but I do feel sorry for him to be asked to be our second ruckman. He cannot continue that role. He either plays as a permanent forward or doesnt play. Stanley needs to step up to that role because its so unfair on Lee. IMO though he hasnt really got many skills to make him a good AFL footballer.

Not strong enough and stops on a lead, no third effort.
Does have good hands, knows how to play the game, but unless he can get those shoulders right and get into the gym, won't make it.
Should get another year.

The more I think about it a very questionable decision to play lee. Even maister has played a similar role before pinch hitting in the ruck. I'm not understanding how Stanley wasn't picked
