2010 Rate the Season: #8 Trent Dennis-Lane

TDL.
Bless.


Rate away ...

[Big Al]

Part of one of the best moments of 2010. What a tackle and goal. One of the recruits of the year.

[ScottH]

Played some great games.
Look forward to 2011

[Chilcott]

Very good for a first year player. With a bit more strength and another pre-season under the belt, I expect some very good games from TDL in 2011. He'll end up with 30-40 goals for the season (fingers crossed).

[Yuri H]

I was impressed-headed-toward-amazed in 2010. I think he's going to have a stellar 2011.

Exceeded expectations. Was the game breaker in the final Vs Carlton. Might have had a little of the "under the radar" factor. He won't get away with that next year. Looking like a more than adequate Micey O replacement. More than adequate.

what he said.

[RogueSwan]

I agree with all of the above. Will need to work out how to play with Bradshaw next year.

I gave him a 7. Showed us exactly what he is capable of, and already a favourite of mine for that tackle and goal. He will kick on next year and become a very important player for us. As you say Rogueswan, needs to learn to fit in with Braddy etc, but there is only upside with TDL. Such a level head too- now he has a taste of AFL footy he will only get better. He is just one of the reasons I am so excited about where this club is headed over the next few seasons.

[Hartijon]

TDL is part of the stunningly successful recruiting before last season that has set this Club up for a bright future. All he needed was a few games to get a handle on the pace and ferocity of AFL football then he began to assert himself. He knows how to find a space and he knows how to kick a goal. Next year he might attract a class defender which just makes it easier for other forwards to shine. He will be great value and reminds me a bit of Williams for Hawthorn before he went sour.Not a lot of him but he seems to make the right decisions and make full use of opportunities.

Looks like he has got talent. The dogs sorted him out in the SF.

[Lucky Knickers]

1000 points for that chase and tackle in the EF!
1000 points for the Everywhere I go-oh song
1000 points for taking his chance with two hands and giving a massive fist pump to the footy gods.

[Velour&Ruffles]

Massively exceeded expectations and saved his best for when the fate of the season rested entirely upon his own skinny shoulders. All you could ask for beyond that was a decent follow up game against the Woofers. Sadly that wasn't to be, but he deserves to be judged primarily on the the three preceding games rather than his last.

[AnnieH]

God love him.
At the beginning of the year at the Sydney family day, he was just so happy to be here.
When I said that I couldn't wait to see him play seniors, he said he'd was rapt just to be here and wasn't expecting to play seniors this year.

I can't wait to see him go better next year.

[Tooth Fairy]

6 is a bit harsh, 8 is a bit much, I'll go 7. Did well under the radar but we'll get a better indication of his worth this year.
