HRT spot on.
I give Lambert a kicking on this forum when he deserves it but give him credit for his good games. Surely you Ellis haters can try doing the same.
Funny i thought i did
Said he was better. And got better as the game went on. His 1st qtr was typicsl BEllis.
Was he BOG? IMV, no. Was he in our top 6. Yeah he was
But yesterday needs to his minimum out put. Not a cameo
History shows this is not what we'll get every week so forgive me if I remain not sold especially afte r last weeks "effort"
Credit to him for an much improved game but it needs to be the norm, not the exception. I'd hope even you'd agree
I wasn't really talking to you, more Tigra.
But this is where you set an unrealistic standard. He was fantastic yesterday, it is impossible for that to be his 'minimum'. If that is the minimum we expect from him and he achieves it week in, week out.... then he'll get 40 votes in the Brownlow this year.
What should be the standard is the same effort, intensity and productivity. 18-25 decent disposals each week and decent efforts. I think we'll see that should he remain on the wing.
He'll play another poor game again at some point and I hope we're not all going to bring our pitchforks out when it happens. Give credit where it is due and criticise when necessary.
I said it earlier in the thread....confidence is the most important thing in football. You have been watching a guy who has been highly uncomfortable at half back of late and had no confidence. Dimma backed him in, moved him back to the wing and low and behold...after one quarter of football he started to gain some confidence!
