Delisted Essendon player Andrew Lee has been reported on Demonology too be going to do a pre-season with the Dee's.

And is Colin Garland's cousin..... But I thought they were all cousin's down in Tassie?

I dont know alot about him. Except he is injury prone, is 196cm, 94kg and look's a bit like Dean Brogan. Not sure on the last one!

He might be worth a punt if very cheap!

Cant see it, maybe rookie list prospect though!

Don't forget the rookie list extension all clubs get in compensation for the loss of picks to Gold Coast.

Absolutely no harm in giving the kid a go, especially if it is a case of him being out through injury rather than demonstrably no good.

Would surely be worth drafting as a rookie. Possibly even through the PSD or as a late national draft pick depending on the people that are available. Personally I'd like to think that Warnock, Ray, O'Keefe or Prismall may be available in the PSD instead.

He definately won't be picked up in the National Draft by us. He is more likely to come as a Rookie selection or as a late PSD draft selection, I'd personally favour a rookie listing given his injury woes thus far.

Just a little more on Andrew, I saw alot of his junior football when he played with the Burnie Dockers but mostly with the Tassie Mariners, in which he was captain and easily one of the most dominant big men in his 2 years, being used initially in a defensive role but then as a key lead up CHF.

He is a extremely athletic for 196cm and was 4th overall in the agility testing at his draft camp. He has a strong pair of hands and generally picks the right option by hand and foot, not unlike his cousin.

The down side have been his injuries which have restricted his chances at the top level. When he was fit and firing in 2006, he was dominant in Bendigo's side and was promoted and played well enough to suggest he had a future in the 4 or 5 games he put together before he was injured and didn't return.

Like I said, he couldn't hurt as a rookie selection to see if he can get his body right.

Ah so now you guys agree with Andrew Lee.

I posted this about a month ago and got my head bitten off. I did say he is going to be good and I know Colin and he is not his cousin deetention.

He has the WORST left foot i've ever seen.

You are in actual fact wrong Demon_Tingles.... Andrew Lee is indeed the cousin of Colin Garland. Colin's father who he has nothing to do with is brothers with Andrew Lee's father, thus making them biological cousins.

Does he now.... and you saw this where or you based it on 1 AFL game when his left foot found an opposing player?

Posted
haha prbably because he is right footed mate

AFL players SHOULD be more than capable on both feet.

Any 22 yr old that we'd think of drafting would need to be, at least...

Posted

Not if he is a KPP mate. Look an Neitz Robbo Garland and most of all Scott Lucas. That is rubbish mate. Don't forget Adem Yze.

Watch his games for the Mariners in 03/04?

How about any of his games for Bendigo?

He's a terribly one sided player who knows he can't use his left, so he tries to checkside everything with his right foot.

He was also the recepient of one of the greatest bakes I've ever seen between a Coach/Player last year vs. Nth Bullants. Knights ripped into him.

Posted

Fair enough then well if he is that bad why put him on a rookie list. That takes up the spot fo someone worthy.

Posted

whatever MFC does in this trade period/draft period will be for the good of the club. they will select/get players who they think will be good... they are more experts than us, so no one can say he is [censored], unless they work as a talent scout or footy list manager/operations manager.

Posted

I liked what I saw with him but if he really is as bad as people say then there is no point getting him. Anybody that tall and built is worth it but if you want someone with minimal risk look at nathan grima. out of contract as he was only on one year rookie .. worth it .. http://www.kangaroos.com.au/TheClub/Player...09&typeid=1

Being able to kick on both feet should almost be selection criteria for this club. I'm sick of seeing Green, Bate and others who kick exclusively off one foot (Yze was another), get themselves into sticky situations and mess things up because they just can't kick at all on their non-preferred.

I know it's not easy to do that, but if it came down to a toss of the coin, if one player could kick with both feet they'd get my vote.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
