Hamling had 3 wasted years at Geelong, without a game and is now in a GF.

There are guys who can play out there, you just have to find them.

No doubt, but for every Hamling there's a Ben Newton, Viv Michie, Ben Kennedy, Aidan Riley and Tom Gilles.

    Correct, but no pain no gain.You have to keep trying to find a gem and improve the list. We can't stagnate, we are not a GF side.

    You have to consider, was he unhappy over there, or was he not good enough, he seems to have a bit of ability so perhaps it was just homesickness.

    Some players think they just have to get drafted and then it all falls in to place after that, Mav Weller was a classic example, maybe in a different environment under a different coach and closer to home he will prove to be a good investment.

    He moves ok, he can take a grab and his kicking isn't all that bad, he has size and a bit of weight added could make him ideal for AFL. 

    His grandfather was Ian Cooper a former Saints player and he seems to have, as he says in this profile, a strong connection with them.

    Also, as we know too well, some clubs struggle to develop some kids, & some clubs struggle to develop nearly all kids well.  As was our case from 97ish to 2013ish.

    The tide is turning for us, & its high tide we grabbed some under achievers & let them grow under Macca & Egan.  back em in.

    Lynch with the Crows, also has that form where he failed at the Saints, but made it work in his 2nd gig, after a big kick in the pants getting moved on.

    Lamb, lets prepare him.  See what we can make of him.

    Rookie List for me. We have some tough calls to make with our list and I don't think you make tough calls on other players to bring in a player with attitude problems. 

    Let him work his way off the rookie list. If he can show enough character to do that then he might just make it as a league footballer.

    But isn't he contracted to the Eagles? 

    So how do you trade for him,  to put him on the Rookie list and why would he do that if you could?

    Unless they delist him and he moves as a DFA.

    Haven't seen anything but the highlights tape of Lamb & Watts.

    If I was just going on them then Watts would be streets ahead in my mind, injury seems to be the concern.

    I trust the professionals to get these calls right.

    But even then he wouldn't agree to come to us on the Rookie list, as suggested by the poster, even if that was possible.

    But yes, if he was in the draft and wasn't taken, he could be rookie listed.

    Get him, couldn't be any worse than a Ben Kennedy and won't cost anywhere near as much as that spud.

    Hamling always had an A grade attitude. 

    Dare I say it, Lamb's AFL career looks... cooked.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
