Essendon supporters see Andrew Lee as basically another new recruit for the Bombers in 2006. Lee’s first season with the club was ruined because of osteitis pubis but supporters’ enthusiasm for the young Tasmanian has not been dimmed. Lee is an athletic key position player and fans still hope to see him become an important player for the senior side in the seasons ahead.

What the fans had to say:

""Didn't play at all so unable to rate. Will be good to see how he goes after a full pre season. Must be highly regarded with Watson's number. Another new recruit for 06,"" Alan Enno.

""I've heard a lot of people hype him up but needs to have an injury free year to prove himself. If he can do that he will be a good player. Can't say anything about this year because he was injured,"" Baxter Lovett.

""Injuries prevented Andrew from showing anything this year. Hopefully he can get his body right and show the talents he showed in the under 18's,"" Anthony Artusa.

""Very hard to judge. His season, like several others, was ruined by OP, but looks like a solid and likely prospect. Work ethic and attitude were good with his rehab, and could be promising but early to tell at this stage,"" Jackie Duong.

""It's extremely hard to rate a player that didn't play a single game in a season, but when you know it's a young kid with a lot of talent like Andrew Lee that is trying to get over injury, I guess you just look forward to hopefully seeing him in the side next season. I can't wait to see Andrew in the senior side because I've heard awesome things about him,"" Ricke Dovey.

""Recruited as a forward, but could be tutored as a backman in years to come. He has strong contested marking ability, as well as super agility, both attributes that could see him developed into a fine defender. 2005 was injury plagued, but from all reports is training the house down. A full pre-season from Andrew, and we could be hearing a lot more about him in 2006,"" Jake Sluiter.
