Kane Lambert
- Thread starter evo
- Start date
Now his playing in his more natural role, it appears his improved like a player in his 3rd season, doing his role well, however I think his kicking has got worse, considering how often his created space for himself .

turn it up.
that very, very bald stat doesn't take into account
- where the kick was taken
- how it was taken and under what kind of pressure
- the various roles of the respective players
and the big one - what kind of kick players will try to nail.
Dusty hits 45/45s that Lambert could only dream about. even prestia will fire off a laser pass and hit the target occasionally.
Lambert knows his severe limitations (he is a smart footballer) and dishes off harmless passes that don't hurt the oppo in and of themselves.
Massive game from Lambert yesterday.
Bloke would probably be on a base contract of 100 to 150 a year plus match payments n he outperformed about twenty of the blokes who played for us yesterday.
He gets a job each week n generally performs reasonably well for a nuts n bolts foot soldier type. Can't for the life of me understand why people bag up a player like Lambert as not good enough when he's just out performed most of our team. No one expects him to be a Buddy, Dusty or Danger every week but if he can step up a couple of big games when so called better players are struggling then he becomes a very valuable contributor.
Twenty two blokes in the team on game day, the deeper your team bats the better your chances of winning.

Yet again you miss the point, Tinners.
Tim was pointing out that Lambert's DE wasn't far off Dusty's. I explained why.
But boy oh boy you try hard.

Ok, I'll play Carthorse, since you are back in name-calling mode. Lambert's a primarily inside, grunty mid - his DE rates pretty well compared like for like I'd reckon. Dusty's a freak - comparisons with him are, frankly, ridiculous. Of course that wasn't your point though right? :
Suck it up mate - Lambert's have an excellent season but you are so invested in him failing you feel you have to post rebuttals every time he gets a wrap. Give him some credit.

Good to see him doing a job & also winning some footy & kicking the odd goal. These are the types of players that are going to determine how far we can go this season. We know what we are going to get from our top liners, it's the next rung down we don't
I'll give Lambert some credit if he tagged Murphy. It was hard to tell at the ground. If he can restrict a key player he's more than worth his place in the side (still a role player though, Leysy). But we needed to restrict Cripps, and he has no chance of ever doing that. He'd be swatted like a fly. Taggers should be bigger than taggees. But he's what we have. I accept that.
