No one is saying he can’t play, just that he’s going to need more rest and recuperation than other younger players and that Evatt will pick and chose games where he thinks he can make most impact. 

Well no, if you run your bollocks off, as Evatt demands, then you might need substituting. But I don’t think Evatt’s treating Lee any different from the others.

You have a thing in your head that his age is a hindrance but he’s actually our classiest player on a regular basis.

He can’t play 90 minutes on a regular his body/engine can’t cope with it, take issue if you wish but it’s why he’s not playing the 90 and his game time is managed accordingly. It’s no disgrace at his age when our game is all about the high press. 

I've already acknowledged that previously.

But you claimed it was because he didn't have the engine for it, which is a different thing to him having a poor injury record. His aerobic fitness, which is what people generally mean when they refer to a player's engine, is as good as any of the others.

If we needed him to play ninety minutes on Saturday, he could do.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

He's not being brought off because he's more physically tired than anyone else, just because we can afford to rotate our midfield and because he's more susceptible to injury.

 

[Steejay]

No, you’re wrong.

[Traf]

Lee's not playing because he's old, but Morley's young and plays every game, doesn't he?

Wait, hang on, I think I've spotted a flaw in the age argument.

Certainly seems a good spirit within the camp.
