Chris Lamb was (I thought) a very solid defender when he was playing with us in the AFL. I'm not sure how he left the club or why, but he seems to now be an integral part of Sandringham's line up. Is it not possible to re-draft him next year as a possible solution to our problems in defence?

    Strange story.

    Was garbage for us before and after 2002. However when Jack Nicholson did his knee in mid 2002, Lamb came into the side in round 12 in his 6th career game and performed solidly.

    Played 3 games in 2003 and was never seen again in the red and blue.

    Me thinks the ship has sailed on that one :wacko:

    Kept out of the side most of his career by Nicholson, says it all.

    However Nicholson was the greatest player ever drafted at pick 22...

    Great idea ! Another slow reckless defender with poor decision making skills. Just what we need.

    If only we had have had a good reason for delisting him in the first place. :D

    And remains as the only AFL player to have played over 90 games and never to have reached double-figures in either kicks or handballs.

    How about we play the Kid that we drafted with our first pick in 2006 who then was a KPP defender and drafted for that purpose. He will get beaten some times and will have some wins but if you don't start playing him at FB how will he get the experience. Frawley needs to start playing on the big forwards stop protecting him, look at Brown from Collingwood taken afer him in the draft and did well against one of the best forwards time to back him lets see if he can play.

    Sadly the kid isn't a true KPP, he's more of a rebounding flanker and Nathan Brown highlights how crap our KP drafting has been over the last 10 years.

    l saw him at Southland the other day, looks pretty fit. ND stitched him up, stuffed him around with what he wanted him to do. ND wouldn't let him just be a natural footballer, wanted him to lose weight, play differently, pucked around with natural abilities as a player.

    If he is a flanker trade him, Darren Glass is only 192cm, Tom Harley 192cm, Scarlet 192cm James Frawley 193cm he is no flanker he has to be a FB because he is not good enough for a flanker.

    the solution to the backline is just persist with what we've got, theres some good players who are not playing at the minute, Rivers, Whelan etc and put Frawley in and leave him there.

    You want height try Martin.

    You want speed try Frawley.

    We can't keep doing what we're doing though obviously.

    I'd rather Martin or Frawley get FB with Rivers in the team, the difference for them with or without him would be huge.

    Carroll can stay, but on a smaller forward.

    One for you to answer Jack

    He had a huge climb on someone shoulders against the Bullies in 2003 IIRC and fell square on his head from about 2 metres up.

    Just about sums him up.

    FFS, height alone does not dictate whether a player is capable of playign a key position, look at Kepler Bradley and Dermot Brereton.

    Who kept him out?

    Why did Ratten leave?

    What happened to Thompson?

    Why did schwartz leave so early?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
