He is but i would rather we see what Mcinnes is capable of first.

As much as i'd like to see Lamb Sandwich, even if Darling is injured, i doubt Lamb who's only just overcome his own injury would get the first crack.
Big Fraser has sat on our list for 3 years so you'd think he would have first dibs. He still hasn't even made his debut yet.

Hasn't really demanded a debut tbh.

Nope. And i don't believe he even will unless injury paves the way for him.

Unlikely I know, but I can still be hopeful.

I'd hope they'd play McGovern forward if Darling is injured. No need for McInnes or Lamb.
Kennedy didn't set the world on fire at Caaaaarlton early on and they had very little up forward.
The one thing the Eagles have done is drafted / traded in good tall's all over the ground.
McInnes is also our 4th (backup to the backup) ruckman from reports.
The fact that Brown and Schofield can play tall and on smalls is a great advantage. It means we can swing McGovern forward during games.
I can see if McInnes gets a call up and we don't have a game day injury he gets subbed out in the 3rd, we push McGovern forward and another runner is injected into the midfield / high half forward role.
I think this was in response to McInness, not Lamb

Hopefully McInnes can continue/improve on his form in the WAFL GF, thought he was pretty good.
Needs to play all 4 NAB cup games.

Blakely to debut at FF for Fremantle.
Such is the depth and quality of their KPP stocks.

I thought WC would have taken Blakely instead of Lamb. Lamb may become a good player however Blakely is looking very good. Both skills and maturity for his age.
Quite clear that the West Coast recruiting department do not hold the same view.

Maybe. Lamb in my opinion is a more riskier pick however may have a higher ceiling.

May have the higher ceiling? He has one of the highest, if not the highest upside in this entire draft.
If he pans out, he'll be absolutely ridiculous. And then we'll be selling both Naitanui and Lamb wigs.

After we snared Duggan with our first pick I was happy we went for Lamb over Blakely. We need more players with X-factor and it's something Lamb brings to the team.

Need to stop doing the Lamb vs Blakely comparison.
We didn't take Blakely because we didn't need another vanilla workhorse midfielder with a lower ceiling.
Taking a punt on Lamb's potential X factor was the 1 aggressive thing we did in the draft. I liked the idea.
I have no doubt Blakely will have many more runs on the board after the next couple of seasons, but he wasn't what we needed at the time.

Ha, will be interesting to read this board if Lamb flops, which isn't entirely out of the question. Posters are happy to take chances on players until it backfires.
Come on. This is going to be the first year in the history of football that all our recruits become guns.
But every single pick you take in the draft is taking a chance. Gotta risk it for the biscuit. We needed flair / X in our team to advance and the club has taken the punt with Tom.
Didnt we do that with Gaff/Darls/Lycett already?
As well as Brennan, Stevenson, Wilson, Strijk, Wilson, Houlihan, Hamp, McGovern.
But yes it was an excellent year.
it goes to show, if you can find three quality players, you're doing very well. 4 and you've absolutely killed it.
