I don't mind Lamb but dont see him as that potent small forward but goes ok.
Sumner is OK and is a certainty baring injury.
Lamb was a liability today.
What they both need is more quality around them, get some hard, fast bodies around them and blokes who can pull the trigger on time and they will both go up a level.

Getting a little worried our premiership hopes are fading. ;D
Just back from the G. First game I have seen live this year due to ill health and work. Had a great vantage point and I had a good hard look at our group.
Top 4 team playing a BOTTOM 4 team.....Cannot believe the game has changed so much. You can waffle on about forwards as much as you like but the game now is basically a rolling scrum played inside half a ground and when the ball is in won its a major sprint to get clear up forward...
Observations -
Backline was a positive; considering our midfields lack of pressure I believe they can hold their heads up. Simmo is unbelievable.
Midfield tried but was overrun by more skill and BIGGER bodies. Thought Cripps tried hard and Curnow was his usual self. MK tried his arse off and cannot have people bagging him. Gibbs, not to sure today.
Forward line is not really a forward line as they don't set up that way. Levi tried hard but wasnt really a day for forwards!!!! Armfield great effort.
Going forward -
Glad I'm not the coach.
Need a class Ruckman...
Need a couple of line breaking midfielders who can spot a target
Goodbye Mr Everett....surely that was it today
Silvani will be great, some of his efforts today wow.
Not all doom and gloom, we have a great coach with limited cattle.......need SOS to go hard again with the draft and trade. Reckon we will turn over another 10 or so next year.
56 now and 1995 is starting to fade, be

Endeavour - thought the team tried hard all day
Skill - excruciating, particularly when it needed to be good

This is the best thing that could've happened to us.
Makes the hard but right list management decisions SOS and Bolts have to make so much easier, separates the men from the boys, and doesn't tempt us to overestimate our list ala 2004 after an unexpected 10 win season.
Hoping to see kids like C. Curnow, Jacksh, Gowers, DVR, Cunningham and McKay in the last few months of the season.
Would rather expose them to AFL than persist with never weres and has beens like Everritt, Walker and Levi
