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:

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

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...

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.

What i remember of Lamb? is- laughing out loud.... have not seen him since he has played for the dees though

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.

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?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
