What ever happened to Bailey Lambert?

From memory played our last reserves game last year (2018) and did very well.

And David Bourke has a son reaching the age and has footy ambitions.
He’s been training at Alex Rance’s footy academy.

Be good to get a 4th gen tiger playing.
He’s got David’s build. Not St francis’
Won't be available as F/S, David only played 89 games.

It’d be interesting if there’s any stats on F/S players eg how many sons of AFL/VFL footballers have played and a breakdown by games played.

No way he gets to 100 games for the Tigers.

Whatever it takes Timmy !!

Two years of games on the bench will get him there then :)).

Injury and form will decide that of course.

Could he play to 32/33 cant see why not, Sheds is 31 ish now and dominating.

Burgoyne is 47 and on one leg for 10 years and he's still going.

Four years 22 home n away games plus 3 finals n he'll play 101 games n maybe own 5 flags, then he can retire as a 32 year old footballing demi god.

Sheedy nursed Dean Rioli to 100 for that reason. We left Ray Hall stranded on 99 - doesn't he have a lad with talent?

Marlion has a relatively young body for his age. He won't have been banged up as much as others his age. He could be cast from the Burgoyne mould.
