Game lost at the selection table.
Lambert won't make AFL. Decision making too slow and not agile enough. Particularly for a small forward.
Gordon doesn't offer anything other than lots and lots of running. Doesn't do anything decent with the ball. Too fumbly and manic.
Newman is Newman. Don't mind him on a wing. But he isn't going to win any games for us and is coming to the end of his career.
If we select players who aren't going to have a big impact on the immediate result, they should at least be potential long term players for the club that we can develop.
