Player Watch Lachie Sullivan

[granniewolf]

He’s not that slow and he’s obviously strong for his size. Playing fantastic and deserves a run. I can see him in our best 23 in the future, even at full strength he’d be a super sub.

Agree 100%.
His handballs and kicks usually find their target and he slots into the team as if he's always been there.
Plus, he doesn't panic.

Good role player. A modern Blair.

He’s not fit to tie the Great One’s boot laces!

Can't blair to hear it!

 

[Vicky Park]

Deserves one from us, and even though he is a bit long in the tooth, wouldn't surprise if other clubs didn't throw him a bone.

Quite proud of the dog and sheep reference in one sentence.

You sound like the cat that got the cream.

 

[TW Sherrin]

exactly what you need from the 18 - 25th guy on your list. plug him in and do a job. not everyone will be a star.

 

[Cyclops]

So he's being compared to Blair, anyone made a "shocker" joke yet?

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I don't know - That contested mark in the 4th quarter against Freo was a Herculean effort befitting the gargantuan presence that was Jarryd Blair.

 

[rand corp]

He’s not fit to tie the Great One’s boot laces!

But he is tall enough

 

[pablo disco bar]

Fly clearly likes him

Seems to be the 26th player so to speak

Was very Handy on Thursday Night

Am I the only one reminded of James Cagney when I look at Sulli?

I see a bloke that’s going to have more premiership medals than Patrick Cripps, Charlie Curnow, Sam Walsh and Harry McKay combined in 4 months

Look, I love Lachie Sullivan, but I'm not really excited at the idea of him being in our side on Grand Final day. It'll mean we're clearly below full strength.

I'm excited. If Sullivan is in our side on Grand Final Day. We're in the grannie. Go Pies

 

[Vicky Park]

Love how Sullivan goes about it. If he’s ‘just’ depth we’re in a good place. No nonsense, hard working, blue collar Pie. Happy to be at the club and do whatever is asked of him.

Now you put that thought into my head, there is a smidgen of likeness. Love Cagney, have some of his best movies.
Can't quite see Sully tap dancing and singing I'm a yankee doodle dandy though haha.
Ackkkkk, actually, I can when I try

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

We didn't play in the Grand Final last year, so we're overdue to play in the Grand Final.

We've played in 34% of all of the Grand Finals in history. Every 3 years is actually below schedule, so I don't get excited to just be in the Grand Final.

I'm about thinking about how to win it, not just make up the numbers.

C’mon mate, there is nothing more exciting than grand final week when the mighty Pies are playing.

Agree. It’s like when you buy a tatts ticket, and until the numbers are called out, you just imagine everything you’re gonna do when you win.

Grand final week is amazing. I love the excitement of being in it. Yes the heartache has often followed but I’ll still take that over prelim losses. Or worse, not even making finals!!

Had to go to the fourth page to find Lachie’s player thread. I think this says something about him as a player.

Unassuming and dependable.

He’s made the most of his TOG this season, and in the absence of Shoota, looks set for an extended run in the team.

He understands the system well and works super hard. I reckon he’s going to continue to be a real asset this season and might just elevate his game to a new level.

He was a star at VFL level.
At AFL level he's solid and reliable - every team needs players like him.

 

[Chameleon75]

As jack dyer would say, a good ordinary player.

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

solid player wouldn't mind if he got another deal for 2026
