Tom Lamb Delisted

Post: # 1705623Post parkeysainter »

Is he worth a shot?

There are some decent delisted and unsigned players floating around atm that could provide depth or even emerge to become good players.

Likes the party scene in Perth a little too much. Needs plenty of reigning in and guidance methinks.

Maybe a return to Melbourne will sort him out. He was pick 32 and one of the younger players in that draft. Obviously has talent.

Is it Jamie Lamb's son?

Has Rhys Stanley been delisted yet?

It’s Ian Cooper’s grandson.

Coops was best on the ground (IMO) in our 1966 Grand Final, so there is some pedigree there. It’s the attitude that might need a kick up the bum IMO.

Not good enough. He ain't Ian Cooper and it's not 1966!
By the way Jamie Lamb was twice the player that Tom Lamb is, bow legged and all.

So like Tom Lee we should’ve traded pick 8 for pick 20ish and got Lamb

As a 193cm athletic forward I wonder if he would be able to play down back. I’ve never seen him play but I recall many on here we’re keen on him in his draft year

I haven't seen him play - but I think he is meant to have elite endurance- I would definitely rookie him and if that's not an option - would be OK with delisting wright or michington for him -

So the Lamb went to the slaughter and we should go after the off-cuts simply for nostalgic reasons?

No thanks!

At the time that he was first drafted there was a lot of talk that he was a bit of a wild one more focused on enjoying himself than playing AFL.

It would seem that he continued on that vein.

Father Dwayne Lamb played for Fitzroy and Melbourne and had a similar reputation. Kid had upside when drafted but not sure if afl committed. Is 22 now , if new the attitude was better the question is , is he more value than who we need to delist him for as wouldn't take him in the draft.

I like the idea of looking at players who were a first or second round pick, have been in the system for a couple of years or so and have been cut because of attitude or cultural fit -and offering a 1 year rookie contract.

Last chance should bring out the best in them , and if not , there’s usually another that can take his place the following year. Mav was tarred with that brush at the GC and put his head down and turned it around.

Tom Lee was one of those as well.
