Wow that's just plain wrong.the only position lamb could have been drafted for was midfield ,our forward line was set and we had/ have glaring needs at the inside mid position.luckily for us priddis is extremely durable and we got Mitchell cheap.
Blakely or menadue would have added to our mid stocks, and it seems lamb hasn't really been trialled there much and opportunities will be limited for him still in our forward line and with allen and waterman coming on this will be lambs last year on our list

When our second pick in the 2014 draft came up our forwards were Kennedy, Darling and McInnes with the potential that McGovern could be played there
That's not exactly set
By comparison our midfield included Priddis, Hutchings, Sheed and at that time S Selwood as well. We'd just drafted Duggan and had Waterman in our pocket as a confirmed F/S with our last pick
Another inside mid wasn't really a priority especially when Simpson was said to be looking for players with good disposal which was the knock on Blakely
I don't think we expected Lamb to still be there at our pick and were excited by his athleticism and skill set. Problem being he doesn't have a true position at this stage and the question marks on his attitude have proven true
Hard to say who we would have taken had Lamb not been there but I doubt it would have been Blakely. Might have been Menadue but should have Mitch McGovern
