Senior 8. Lachie Fogarty

[BlueGum]

Welcome Lachie. Rip it up and enjoy getting rid of the horizontal stripes. So unflattering.

I hope to see a passage of play

Lachie Plowman from half back passes off to Lochie O'Brien who dishes it off to Lachie Fogarty for a goal

Might be a Lock too far.

Welcome to the best club in the universe, Fortunate Son!

 

[juzz88]

Have to admit, never heard of him, at least until the rumours started.

But based on his highlights clip, he doesn't seem to be afraid of putting his head over the footy and looks a strong tackler. I'll take that.

Welcome Fog.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Welcome! I hear the supporters have requested that he isn't given No. 16

Go well young fella, good wraps as a junior and was good in his debut year.......don’t get injured again

I'm not sure I share the excitement on Fogarty. I'll admit I haven't seen a lot of him but based off his stats he's a low possession midfielder that doesn't kick many goals.

Could someone please tell me why I'm wrong?

Strong debut year, played 17 odd games. Last two years have been ruined by injury. Basically has had one good year at it. I guess the upside is, it is not an ability issue, it is a keeping him on the park issue. Given he is only 21, more upside than most if Russell can get his body right. Rated highly at Geelong apparently. Time will Tell

High possession count this year for a forward, especially in a team that contended in a GF is good.

Anyone think stylistically there are shades of Bartel in how he plays?

If you had said to me last week we are chasing Lachie Fogarty, I would have said "who?"

Now he is a Blue, I'm wondering how we got him so cheap.

Seriously though he seems to fit the 'type' we are now specifically targeting i.e. a bit of pace, good defensively, good skills (he seems to have quick hands).

He is described as a small forward/midfielder, but his numbers at both NAB League & AFL level don't necessarily point to him being a prolific goalkicker at this stage of his career. Time is on his side & there is no-one better in the AFL to teach him the small forward craft than our own Eddie Betts.

Go well Lachie.

Murph + tackling (good shoulders)

That could almost have been a write-up for Billy Smedts a few years ago

 

[thylacine60]

before smedts proved a bust, yes..........

 

[Big Delut]

I assume the club is hoping he can play the role that was earmarked for Jack Graham

when he was targeted

 

[myblueroan]

Welcome and long may you run Lachie.

 

[haveago]

I like the boy........Prior to him coming he caught my eye a few times with his quickness of mind and decision making.

I am perplexed at Cats letting him go for next to nothing.

IMO he could well be the best of our 2020 signings in a year or two.......Good luck Lachie,

 

[BluStreak]

Welcome Lachie, Looking forward to seeing you showcasing your talent.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Calf groin hip hamstring and ankle injuries..... hmmmm Russell has his work cut out.

 

[HARKER]

the perfect type of player to put some pressure on our other young guys - play hard or not at all

Fogarty seems like the type we would have liked Polson to become; A terrier that has value across all lines.

I wonder when our interest in him began? Maybe an Agresta 'special'?

 

[BIuebagger]

Can tackle. Great kick. Seems to suit quick transition. 21 only. A lot to work with. Only worried about history of injuries. Welcome Fog, hope you have a long, great career with us!

Clearly a replacement for Ed.
Teeth upgrade at the very least.

Smedts was cooked by the time we got him. 6 years of pretty serious injury. Not too many come back from 2 broken legs, shoulder reco's, busted collarbone. Fogerty only 21 and nothing major to date. Here's hoping its not a Smedts repeat.

 

[BlueJet]

Smedts was always more of a project than Fogarty - more athlete than footballer IMO.
Fogarty has greater instincts and intensity than either of our two more recent pickups from the Cats, I'm quite happy with this pickup.
