c4's 2012 Bargains: Lenny Hayes

[Voldemort]

quality player though ossie. Norm Smith Medalist aswell, he's not your avg 30 year old

[ossie85]

I love Lenny, one of my favourites, but football doesn't stop unfortunately.

[Voldemort]

certainly doesnt, but he's still be good, maybe not as good as would have been, but still good for that price

[Cruiseon]

Can I pose a slightly off-topic but related question.

If we wound back the clock three years to 2008, who would you choose first in your side (real side not SC side) Lenny Hayes or Simon Black? For me there is a waifer between them, if pushed perhaps a slight leaning to Black.

[Voldemort]

now it's Lenny I would think Cruiseon. Black is slowly, but noticeably, starting to age

[ossie85]

Black for me Cruise, love that player.

Though it is a bit weird we're discussing players who have won Norm Smith medals against Collingwood. Should we throw in Jimmy Bartel as well?

[Voldemort]

haha yeah, Jimmy isnt in that catagorie- yet (gloden oldies)

[truBLUE]

i think lenny defently worth a punt ,hoping he has a good pre season  be back to his best in no time, i hope  :)

[Ziplock]

look at adam goodes this year. For great players, age means litte.

Goodes didn't do his knee in 2010 though! Apples and oranges IMO....

[Ziplock]

same calibre players imo- a champion like lenny won't go out that easy.

[Voldemort]

agree with Ziplock

[CrowsFan]

You guys obviously don't know how hard it is to come back from such a bad injury like an ACL and still perform at your best. Especially for someone the wrong side of 30.

*cough* Michael Barlow *cough*

[ossie85]

a) Michael Barlow is very much on the right side of 30

b) He had a fairly average year in 2011
