Very erratic with us but capable of brilliant things - vs Sydney in 1997, for example.
I hated the way he turned it over willy-nilly but felt he always had potential...
Joel Smith is another who's bound to be on his way out in the next year or two.
Throw in Heath Black, Matthew Carr and Brent Guerra, and we've had some serious talent on our list that's gone elsewhere for very little in the past decade.

wash your mouth out!!
If you believe Dimwit & KB tanking DOESN'T HAPPEN!
How many times do I need to say this?
Isn't it obvious that it doesn't occur?
....it's just pure coincidence re Lappin!
Did anyone else hear that both Carlton and Melbourne wanted this weekend's game exempt from the Priority Pick rules so they could both then strive to win.....true story!
So what you think now Dimwit you fool????
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

how funny a game would that be, bring off players and forget to send new ones on, play all your players not in the defending 50 but attacking 50 LOL

2013 trade/draft best ever?
Billings - future brownlow medallist Longer - future best ruck
Dunstan - future captain Eli - future cult hero
Acres - future norm smith
Lappin was a good player for us, and typically stood out in most of the Blues games I have endured in recent years (although, to be fair, that wouldn't be hard).
I agree that, if I were a bookie, I would see this announcement as grounds for further lowering the odds on a Demons win.
Personally, I think it's a disgrace that they are so obsessed with getting their bloody draft picks that they aren't prepared to put on a decent show for Lappin or for their supporters.
I hope they choose nothing but duds.

He IS injured. Was a late withdrawal for their match against the Kangaroos last week and will miss this weeks match with the same injury. He hurt his back at home the morning of the match last week.
Good on Lappin for a solid carrer, was a pretty classy act, and was awsome in 04. I remember in a raindy day in 04 I think it was he took essendon apart single handedly.

Deny deny deny. Dimwits head is so full of sand now that he cant hear the entire AFL world calling for his head and the renegotiation of this priority pick situation/farce.
Yes Lappin IS injured, as mentioned he has a dodgy back.
It is a shame because skinny does deserve a good send off. He has been one of our most consistent players over the dark years.
Also one of the few Carlton players that gets any kind of respect from Saints supporters. Ironic how he appears more loved since coming to us than he did while he was with you.

feel really sorry for him...having to endure so many years playing in a crap team, for a crap club with a dud coach.......poor bastard...i bet he is glad the nightmare is over...
don't kid yourself, numbnuts...he was a much loved player......
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will

Great career Laps, I apologise for our supporters that booed you to get back at the Carlton supporters booing Hamill
Don't presume to speak for me.
I booed him, and am not ashamed for doing so. It was NOT to get back at Carlton, it was because I boo every ex-Saint, whatever the reason for leaving.
Maybe I'm too one-eyed for my own good, but I'll do what I damn well please.
Umm...what about James Begley, who asked to be released from the Club to return to Adelaide to be with his family and the family of his best mate, killed in the Bali bombings??

That's a bit harsh about Lappin...We sacked him! Hardly his fault...if you want to boo someone for that then boo the decsion makers of the time.
I think Dan's post alluded to the era and the "talent" we got to replace him.

It sounded like a convenient excuse for someone who didn't want to play for the Saints.

? I liked him when he was with us and was sad to see him go to the cheating rabble, either way congrats to Lappin on a good career.
