Re: Congratulations Kane Lambert

I like Kane Lambert. I have been impressed by the way he has gone about it in every match I have seen him play, where he is consistently an outstanding performer, however I have questions over how good he could be at AFL level. Is he one of those players that is too good for the VFL, but may not have enough upside to be anything but a average AFL footballer.
I have questions over his size. He is currently at 178cm and 78 kilos according to the stats on the Northern Blues website.
David Ellard seems to be a very similar proposition at 177cm and 78 kilos.
I suppose his draft camp numbers will give us a bit more of a guidline as to how good he could be, but I dont think there is much upside in him. I like Ellard and the way he goes about it and I would say that he plays as well as Kane at VFL level, but I cannot see him forming part of a premiership team. Kane might very well be the same prospect. That doesnt mean he couldnt have a good career ahead of him playing for the right team that is going through a bit of a rebuild, and needs a solid if unspectactular performer, but it doesnt mean we should neccesarily be jumping over everyone else to ensure that we pick him up.
From what I've seen he'd be an upgrade on Ellard and I like Ellard.
Just depends who else we have on the radar, but I wouldn't be unhappy if we managed to get him.
