2nds WAFL 2016

[WCErevival]

I have a feeling Partington is going to be one of those types that cant put on much muscle. Seems to have a small frame. Similar to Masten

Luke Partington: Busy early in reserves but damaged a hamstring.
If its +6 weeker, then we should just rest him up and get him in the gym to get his body to the standard of an AFL inside mid.

Didn't mention it is torn or strained, so may not be too bad. A standard hammy is 3-4 weeks so hopefully this will be closer to 2. +6 weeks for a hammy normally means grade 2 tear high up the muscle or tearing it off the bone.

I thought Lamb would have been pressing for selection by now, especially considering the woeful/selfish form of Lecras

From what I am told Lamb is far far worse - not pressing at all just de-pressing

I continue to blame his BF sponsor.

But just his upper-body?

No what im saying is is that if its long term, let him recover from his injury and when he has recovered, put him in the gym instead of playing the last few game for league/reserves.

Not good news, speedy recovery for the young man

Nasty Hopefully it's a straightforward recovery for him.

I wonder who misunderstood the message to play the ball and not the man in the ressies match:

• The WAFL is investigating another incident in a reserves match between Perth and East Perth in which Demons player Callum Walley required medical treatment after being punched in the groin.

[Miguel Sanchez]

4/22 chance it was one of our boys I guess.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Walley. Lol.

 

[avishka5]

if it was one of them, they deserve a massive penalty from us as well.

If it is the incident I saw it isn't a WCE player. Poor bloke was walking off the ground very bow legged.

As Keyser said on the previous page he was walking around with very little discomfort. Can't see it being a major injury but it is getting to the time of the season where WCE have started to rest their 1st year players in previous years.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Two men down in the first quarter. Didn't stop us smashing them physically all day. WHAT A WIN FOR THE MIGHTY DEMONS! Easily the best under Earl.

It's always a great day when we beat East Freo.

Or anyone for that matter.

 

[avishka5]

Liam Ryan boots another 4 goals. Surely his draft stocks will be rising.

 

[kane249]

Souths top of the ladder with their win over the Joondalup budgies today Quinz

Game in hand over Subi too

Wash your mouth out....... thats a very depressing prospect that you raise.

Jest aside I think he will be OK and its not a bad thing for him to hone his trade at the lower level for a season or two.

Only comparing in muscle building not in ability or heart.

His lower body is some what big for his size, He's body shapes is very similar to a young lachie neale.

I was very happy when Blakely and Menadue were still available for our 2nd pick during that draft, both regulars this year and Lamb is further away than when he started. Another fail.

Is Lamb playing mostly as a deep forward at WAFL? few times i have seen him this year, i have seen him play deep. I dont think Lamb will ever make it at AFL as a key position player. At his best he's a third tall. I would like him to be given Hill's role for EP. I think Lamb will thrive playing a bit of wing/HFF and pushing back into defence. Nick Reiwoldt is someone he looks up to and Roo is having a great year playing as a HFF/wing. Last night i was super impressed how roo was able to push back and impact the play a numerous times. Would love Lamb playing that sort of role for EP and push the senior side. Hill's been doing a great job this year but we have missed his presence at time when the ball hit the ground and we didnt have a small and agile player like him to crumb the ball. Also with lamb being 193cm he would make a nice midfield rotation and would be handy when he pushes back into defence.

He plays his fair share of time further up the ground and often lines up on a wing

Problem is he just doesn't work hard enough to be successful in that HHF type role especially defensively.

If lamb can lift his work rate and intensity which are mental issues then he'll be a fine footballer because the talent is there just not the application from what I've seen

You can see why the recruiters took him as he definitely as the ability. They misread his work ethic though

 

[RookiePick]

The way of the Lamb is inscrutable. His philosophy is steeped in Eastern mysticism. Lamb is both Yin and Yang.
