Pick 45: Kalin Lane (Ruckman/Western Australia) (Height: 204cm, Weight: 96kg)

When I was tasked with picking for Geelong I did a runthrough of what their list needs and where they would want to be at 5+ years from now. Geelongs Ruck stocks are aging and could do with some developmental players, and they've already got one in basketball player Paul Tsapatolis, but like most Cat-B sports converts, he's a speculative pick. I decided with Geelong's first pick I'd go with Kalin Lane, who fits the mould of a developing ruckman while already having some of the tools necessary at AFL Level. The stand out part of Lane's game is his ruck craft, which has had him winning most of the ruck battles he's been in at WAFL level this year, averaging 24.9 hitouts for the year. His follow up work is what makes him such an exciting pick, he's competitive so he backs himself in to compete at ground level and win a clearance, which is something clubs are hopeful modern-day ruckmen can do. Lane will need to build some consistency at VFL level, but he's lucky in the fact that for 2-3 years Stanley and Fort can carry the load for Geelong while he builds.

briztoon you're up

Dammit I was hoping you'd pick Walsh!

Sounds like a Wellsy pick though that one...are you sure you're not him? :smile:

Lachie Jones

186cm, 89kg, Medium Defender

Well what can you say about Lachie Jones. Port fans have been awaiting his arrival for over 12 months and will be stoked to get him here. He is a medium defender who looks like he should be a pretty no frills type player, but when digging deeper you see just why he is rated so highly.

The nuts and bolts of it is he is a more than capable shut down defender who plays tall, plays strong and excels at being able to stop his oppopnent. But then you watch him play a bit more and you see his huge kick, you see how aggressive he can be with the ball and there is a fair bit of x-factor there as well. Not only does he show really good pace but he's a huge leap as well, winning the SANFL Mark of the Year. It was the SANFL where he shone this year, playing all season for WWT's league team and playing in their premiership, a fair achievement for an 18 year old. His intercept work can be first class and we will be hoping for some midfield scope as well. He is a plug n play defender, who given his size will be ready to go from Round 1 next year. His recruitment will add some depth to the defensive group and allow someone like Dan Houston to move more full time into the midfield.
Very good player. Least I got one Eagles premiership out of him. Scale of upside the only issue.
