Both started as subs last week and ended with dismal scores. Opinions on these guys JS and weather they will continue to wear the vest? If all goes to plan I'm looking to trade one for Neade in two weeks giving me funds to bring in Birchall.

As a Swans fan I can tell you that Jed Lambs JS is is SH, he could lose his spot at anytime, he will need to play a blinder nearly each week to hold his spot.

Both have the shakiest of job securities. Too risky in my opinion.

Didn't Kennedy score 24 from less than a quarter?

What injuries do the Swans have?

Lamb must be going ok to get into the premiership side with no injuries.

Ive been waiting for Lamb to come on for the last 2 years and his score reflects his vest...Im seriously thinking about getting him next week regardless of his ave. He is older = less likelyhood of the General and I know the coaching staff rate him.

Was a 1st round draft pick and was going great guns in the magoos this year, he has just been cruelled by injury in the last few pre seasons

kennedy is the better option, though i wouldnt have any confidence in getting either due to JS, sub chance and scoring ability

Lamb is gonna b a great player but sometimes there just isn't any room. Kennedy if he went to any other team would b a top 5 cashcow. He was meant to go to north Melbourne and would have been perfect. But he didn't.
They just won't get the opportunity to do the job we need them to do, sometimes we find that hard to believe and still recruit them.
Both of theses players are 95% certain to b bad decisions. Sydney and collingwood have two of the healthiest well balanced lists in the afl, with incredible depth. They are in premiership mode and have no need to blood too many youths.

As far as this article goes, wearing the vest is a very bad thing for supercoach scoring.
If lamb becomes sydneys go to kermit, that will not bode well for his scoring.

IMO both have very poor JS. Not much around in the way of rookie forwards, personally waiting on Brent Staker.  ::)

Collingwood have one of the healthiest lists?

I count 10 this week out, and Thomas, Ball & Jolly have only come back in the last few weeks

I think you will find most top teams like to inject a bit of youth each year to keep the team fresh and give enthusiasm to the old war horses

Healthy as in well balanced with no real weaknesses. Ie. good spread of talls, KPF and KPD midfielders, defenders and a good spread of age. I'm aware of there injuries. All the more reason for Kennedy to b watching his back with so many players close to a return.
Good luck to u mate lamb could work out for u just trying to give some advice.

From another Swans perspective Lambs JS is not good.

Injury wise we have Shaw to come in probably next week, which means either Rampe or Lamb will make way.

Lamb will be a great pickup next year IMO.

Of course mate, all good, its what forums are for.

I was thinking as I posted that you meant healthy = depth
