Kane Lambert retires [merged]

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Get real father of Kane.

He was ordinary.
For YBB, he did well to gather 25 touches upon his return.

He was very good - not sure where you have your head placed but id suggest you pull it out and start watching games

He really wasn't. He wasn't bad. Let's not confuse that with 'very good'. He is no Brandon Ellis, let's be real. Got a long way to go to reach that standard

Lambert played well IMO.

It was a tough tight game and yes he got caught a couple of times but so did Dusty and Cotch.

Not sure why people don’t see this guy for the champ he is.

He has had an incredible year and was named in the 40 man AA squad which surely proves he is a star of the game.

You know who else has made an AA squad of 40?

Brandon Ellis. Your thoughts on him again big t?

With such a great side and how good they have been, I hate to be critical of anyone of them, but you asked.

My thoughts on Bellis is he is soft as poo. Scared and timid. And the worst kind of scared- scared to make a mistake. He plays like he has himself in his own SuperCoach team.
Embarrassing is a word that comes to mind.
He got what he deserved when he was dropped for a final.
Most people on this site and most Tigers supporters I know think he is all of the above, you are basically the only person I know that likes him as a footballer. And i have a sneaky suspicion you are only taking the pee.
I hear he is a good fella but who gives a poo.
I honestly hope I never see him again in a Tigers jumper.

That clear enough for you?

Is that what you think or is it what Jade Rawlings thought?

I'm not taking the mickey. I agree he can play conservative football at times but I've seen him play too much good footy and put his head over the ball many a time for me to ever believe he can't play this game to a good standard. He's a premiership player, runner up in a B&F, AA squad of 40 etc. The guy can play.
Yes, he has his issues but he ain't on his pat malone and he played some really good footy not too long ago.

I just wish all you blokes held every player to the same standard.

I think I do.

For years I have had a problem with Houli for a lot of the reasons I don’t rate Bellis.
Houli played a great GF but it certainly doesn’t make me forget most of his career before that.
I don’t think I would be as harsh on Bellis or Houli if they weren’t backman, but if you are a backman you had better be desperate and make your opponent earn their kicks. Take a look at the way Grimes, Rance and Vlastuin play, none of them are super skillfull but they are serious backman.

Anyway like I said before, it’s harsh to be critical of anything Richmond at the moment so I’ll leave it there.
Good on you for supporting Bellis though, realistically it doesn’t mean poo what you or I think of any of them- as long as we are winning.

That’s why B Ellis should be only allowed (if he were find himself back in the team) to play wing only and made to kick it forwards.

Finally got around to watching the replay last night

I retract! Was harsh on Lambert, FWIW  he was after a slow start good

I really think that when Prestia plays well, we win. He has been well below his usual standard this year but was much better against Port.....

Disposal was very ordinary. Not good enough in fact for the quality of player he is

[Lozza]

Sometimes Prestia gives the impression he is too relaxed, maybe needs a double hit of caffeine before the game, appears very laid back which at times results in some horrible shank kicks. His disposal should be so much better than it is, hopefully he does improve.

[The Machine]

Great to have this guy back. Extremely important player as seen today.
