The GWS Gang - Will They Or Won't They ??

[crashlander]

Lamb was picked up and played games for the Swans....from what I understand he left for the chance to get more regular senior game time.

The bloke can play.

Just wait when we learn how to move the ball into F50 with speed like the better teams - then you'll see the best of blokes like Lamb and Sumner.

Another things is that, unlike cubs who have dominant forwards, we don't have anyone that needs to be regularly double teamed. That allows our opponents to keep a tighter check on our smaller forwards. If one of our large forwards all of a sudden hit some form and became a serious danger, the pressure on our smaller forwards would decrease remarkably, offering them more opportunities.
Look at Hawthorn: player gravitated firstly to Franklin (when he was there) and then Roughead. It meant that players like Gunston did not have the same pressure on them. Gunston used that and kicked a lot of goals. So did guys like Breust and Puopolo.
They have other attributes: their excellent disposal, for example. However, never underestimate the effect of having a big name who needs to be squished leading to opportunities for the rest.
