Come on St trav. His dream is obviously AFL footy and he is probably on 150K next season. If he went to the WAFL he probably get 30K. As if he is going to stuff you Saints, you only gave me one year so im not taking it. At the moment sandy are the only ones needing Lee and even then he has mostly struggled.
As we've stated over and over, we aren't going to take any free agents in the next 2 years… so you'd think in 2016 Lee, Stanley & White will be our only key forwards ready for AFL footy.
He's kicked goals & the club obviously rate him… not sure why the angst about 2 years.
Carlton were apparently keen when we drafted him. Maybe clubs are better at seeing long term potential than some fans. Gunston was lured out of adelaide when not many rated him. A crows supporter mate thought that the Hawks had been ripped off picking him up. Tom Lee has kicked about 17 goals in 10 senior games or so. If Siposs had done that we would have been drooling. Some people have run a hate campaign against him with nothing but a feeling he won't make it. The club obviously do so you will have to wait to find out. Big Mart gets caned for writing off players with less than a handful of games but his critics have their own victims in the team. Seems we need whipping boys.

Why not. I'm the anti Big Mart...I quote even when the topic is irrelevant. I will continue to quote completely random pieces and comment on them when ever I feel like it because I'm an outsider, a keyboard renegade. I have a complete disregard for formulated responses and societies structures. In fact I'm prepared to go rogue and start quoting from outside the appropriate thread even if I'm pushed too far. Just watch out or I might jump over to a knitting forum and post something on the benefits of Tom Lee's high-legged kicking technique. Just try me man....

Nothing kills a thread faster than a dada manifesto.

Just wrote a poem expressing my joy at Tom Lee's 2 year extension… enjoy.
Thomas Lee, eighteen goals, eleven behinds.
Though it's now more pointy and less sparkly.
Why did the breeze radiate it, to give the heat?
Snap! We ate the talon and the majesty, why not radiate?
They never envision the dinosaurs nor the dinosaurs, with blood.
Sometimes clever and always yellow.
Eyes shimmer and before them voracity flys!
Sometimes pointy and always blue.
What is the wild heat to cunningly ravage the skyline?
Sun and night, whoa, alas! days like the death.

We have a plethora of whipping boys.
This extension is like democracy - it's the worst system in the world apart from all the rest.

You should be busking that outside Etihad ... snapping fingers and a beret and there's a quick hundrednfiddy to spend on a half glass of warm beer. I'd pay for that.

Have many knocked him on this thread. Isnt this about whether he should gat a 2 year contract. Even if he becomes Tony Lockett, which I hope he does, how does that make people who think one year is enough or 2 years isnt enough look stupid?
I'm hoping we get Petracca so we can do some badass poetry. It rhymes with all the important stuff like maraca...and um maybe knacker ...lacquer..and oh well.
