Player Watch #1: Lachy Dovaston - selected with R1(#16) in the ND - Welcome to North Melbourne Lachy

[zoomba23]

If he doesn't drag his heels during preseason he catapults to the top of the pecking order.

Confident in saying Banch and Konstanty are the only other smalls we have with a chance of being on the list in 2027. I'm not counting Spargo because I'm still grumpy about the pick-up

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Looks like he’s from Doveton

Looks like he's from Punchy

He’s sleeping in the jumper isn’t he

He reeks of Milne or Papley. I love it.

 

[hotchilli]

Very happy with selection, keen to see what he can bring.

 

[Devil Fish]

Gotta feel for Banch, Konstanty, Hansen Jr and Harvey.
5 small forwards on the list.

Gotta hand it to Brady. Freak list builder.

Hopefully this kid actually resembles a small forward.

The problem with that list is that only one of them is actually a small forward.

Putting the North v Richmond rivalry aside

You've bounced back from what appeared a shithouse trade at the end of 2024 into a really strong position, with quality.

Dovaston at #16 who will impact games straight away next year and likely to get either Ludowyke or Thredgold tomorrow night is a huge drafting haul with limited picks.

Harvey doesn’t play like a small forward and Hansen Jnr is used higher up the ground. No need to be extra overdramatic.

Fish I have long been an admirer of your work (back to the days of the immortal "Laidley = Clown" thread).

However you surely cannot be claiming that either RHJ or Harvey play as small forwards.

asked him if he plays like the Wizard, he said, nah, maybe he plays like me ?

If he’s not melodramatic then his whole schtick is gone.

Tomorrow will be interesting. You think u should’ve gone Robey?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Seriously, we better not carry on with that Kangalotto bullshit on this kid.

A smartass small forward who has some real character is desperately what we need to get some bums on seats. The flowing mullet is all part of it!

Whilst I understand your sentiment. It is only just hair and it will grow back. If it's somewhat a tradition and positive banter around the club then I don't see a need get rid of kangalotto.

 

[JGreezy]

We looked out best at the end of the year when we had pressure through the roof in our forward half. Konstanty kicked 0.3 when we lost to Adelaide by 2 goals.

If Konstanty can fix his kicking at goal then him, Dovaston and Curtis can be a deadly trio with pressure and goal kicking. And Banch might be right there, too.

And look out if George and Duursma step up, as well.

It’s far past its use by date. Hopefully whoever the next captain is bins it.

We couldn’t believe he was still available.

So it was unplanned please don’t claim the credit if you’re not going to accept responsibility for all the other ‘planned’ decisions

 

[Orange Peanut]

Anyone know why it took us 4 minutes to register the pick? Were we taking calls from other clubs who wanted him?

Even if we took 5 seconds to take the pick, the AFL would extend it out the full 5 mins so that they can build anticipation and get through the live previous pick player interviews/discussion,

Plus we have a year into Whitlock.
