      Fantastic name! Why didn't we get this guy?!?!?!?!?!?!?
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        We tried the name thing with Veszpremi. Didn't work out.

          Time to throw Lamb to the Lions?

            There will be lots of colour on the field this Sunday.
            Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

              It's quite a grab bag of lineball hopefuls, isn't it ?

              There's going to be a "cut" somewhere along the way - I reckon Bird, Rampe, Lamb, Morton will make the cut.
              But the others are running out of chances. Jesse has been thereabouts for a while but hasn't really shown the mongrel needed, Armstrong can't string two performances together (though is really impressive in patches), and Walsh has had plenty of time to show that he's got it, but hasn't made his mark.
              Everett seems to be running out of chances too - creates a handy loose target up forward but just doesn't seem to be able to think quick enough about his disposal.

              It's a bit sad because, as someone else pointed out, some of these guys would be walk-up starts in other teams (especially Jesse). I could see Jesse as a James Podsiadly type - employed by the club as a nondescript witches hat but then his time comes and he shines !

                Walsh has only been here a year after being taken off the rookie list for St KIlda. How long did Pyke take?. Bit harsh.

Hell be a great lead up Nick Riewoldt type, not necessarily your stay at home forward. He's still a baby, Tippets inclusion will see him soar I believe.
                  He actually beat both of them over 20m at the combine

                    I've noticed Sam's speed a couple of times in the last few games. Chasing down players. I was very surprised myself.

                      Spectacularly average at them all unfortunately...
                      If you're going to kick a bloke at least get your facts right.

                      White hasn't spent 5 minutes in defence at senior level, and early last year when he did play he rotated between ruck and forward, I wouldn't consider these games extended stints in either position.

                      Prior to 2012 however he played as a permanent forward.

                      I suppose 1 out of 3 aint bad

                          Good luck Jed. I hope you play a blinder.

                            What do you think he does when he is not playing seniors, peel the oranges?

                            He plays in the seconds and he played just about a whole season at fullback a few years back. I'm not sure how you can think if he doesn't quite cut the grade in the seconds in a certain position we should see if he does it any better in seniors...

                                I hope not, but history would suggest he will unfortunately. I share your enthusiasm.
