New List Manager - Tim Lamb?

[Hawk the Demon 861]

Did others hear Tim Lamb say in today's presser that we also had a late pick in this year's draft? It was difficult to hear the question that drew that response. The AFL website shows us with only 5 and 9. If so, and we want Yze, the late pick could be used on him or another Jason Taylor late draft gem?

Yes and they’re confident about drafting ‘a terrific player too’.

He did.

So do we know what number it is? Maybe the boy from Traralgon - Tye Hourigan - oops, ssshhh.

pete ryan (age journo): what did you achieve today?
tim lamb: i had three sausage rolls

he absolutely slaps 'scoops' manure down about clayton being 'desperate' to get out

Scoop Manure still trying to push his own agenda alleging Oliver was 'desperate to get out'. This guy is just so desperate to get something right for once, that he'll make up is own story to suit his own narrative. Pathetic. I loved how Lamby shut him down. 👌

Brisbane 3rd rounder?

We got Brisbane's future 3rd rounder, traded our future first to Essendon and future third to Adelaide

We have as many picks as we have spots on the list. eg we could have 88, 89, 90 if we had the list spots

[dazzledavey36 53,675]

Actually a good interview by Lamb.

So as it stands we have Smith, Tomlinson and Hore out of contract.

From a list point of view where that leave us for list spots if say Tomlinson and Smith were delisted??

Assume it means our 5th round pick that isn't listed. Right now it sits at 83 but there's likely a few teams will pass by then and Brisbane will chew up most if not all of 7 picks to get 2 players in.

Carlton, Ess and Gold Coast will all chew up more picks than players.

The 5th pick of round 5 last year was 64, this year is deeper but that pick might be around 70.

Alternatives:

1. Lamb's an [censored] and has forgotten a pick somewhere that we dealt out
2. We have a deal in place to tidy up trade week that's been kept in limbo for some reason (exchange of future 2nd rounders with Essendon for a pick in the 50's?)
3. They have a player they feel great about picking with whatever pick is available, so when he says 'we've got one late' he means a player

(KFW - Metha/Irish? Cat B)

BBB - Kentfield (r)
Schache - Campbell
ANB - Sharp
Gus - 5
Hunter - 9

Tomlinson - Late pick?
J Smith - Rookie pick/SSP?
Hore - retained/SSP?

3 spots that aren't accounted for which is just about right. Would love another quality pick but if we have to pick at the back of the draft so be it, the rookies/train on guys to fill it out. I think Marty might be in limbo for a while yet.

Wasn't someone in here potting him for not getting us a gun key forward? Cos they grow on trees and other clubs will trade them for pick 135.

Something not adding up for me… didn’t Lamb say we had a late pick this draft?

I think our focus will be our NGA prospects Riak Andrew and Mentha, Yze likely to go undrafted

Andrew might be the one we take with our late pick if he gets a bid.

You'd probably take the punt on the larger body in andrew over the smaller Mentha, but I hope we make room for both, they both have great stories and lots of talent.

I'm pretty sure I read that we'll potentially place Mentha on our Cat B list.

A much better interview by Tim Lamb. Was strong in his response to predictable questions from McClure. Liked how McClure became defensive when Lamb pushed back on his 'desperate to get out' comment.

Agree.  Lamb didn’t just accept the statement.  Really pushed back and was strong in his remarks.  Lamb was really positive in his comments on the list and our ability to rebound next year.  Obviously need to put actions behind words however it was a good response from Lamb.

Loved the body language, too; part angry, part ridiculing, part dismissive, part ignore.
