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?

    He is out of contract.

    should be the equivalent of a morton trade - pick 88, two fat ladies.

     

    has been a very ordinary player at wafl level; has shown less than morton did at afl / vfl level.

    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.

    Ah yes, hadn't had taken into account the rookie element.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
