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

[King Corey]

Ffffuuuuuu can you imagine. The crowd would go nuts.

"Lachie - there's a $300 Southern Comfort gift card up for grabs if you can send Jason off the park"

I think his size, clear commitment to preparation, and his attitude on field all feel a lot more Boomer-like than anyone we've had since Boomer.

Have you forgotten Harry?

moving in with Sheez? I guess it’s alright, but its a pity we don’t have Sleevo around to really mentor him.

Well, if you're that keen, we could offer Sleevo a developmental coach position

 

[Roos1991]

Have you forgotten Harry?

Harry is a bit more polished. Dovaston looks like he has the sort of mongrel that Boomer did, that desire to prove himself, work ethic and talent. Sheez works hard and is clean-cut. Boomer wasn't that.

 

[Dinkers]

IMO I’m really looking forward to Harvey and what he can do next year. He kicked 4 in a game so he has the talent. He must know this is his last chance to be a consistent performer at AFL level or he will be delisted. Hopefully he’s putting in a huge preseason.

There's folk inside the four walls of Arden St that would swap Harvey for Van Dam in a heart beat.

That's a massive concern that we went with Harvey. Not sure who's calling it was .

When one sees Jean Claude on the track, there's probably half a dozen that you'd give the heav - ho to, to get him on the list. Solid kid, looks switched on out there. As a train on VFL player, he's directing traffic in some of the drills.

We'd best get him on the Trembath plan ASAP.

, Cam Zurhaar and Paul Curtis. He was widely viewed as the best small forward in this year’s draft class and ended up being the second one picked, behind Latrelle Pickett. Dovaston’s running capacity and defensive commitment should endear him to coach Alastair Clarkson, while he brings a goalscoring punch that Konstanty does not.

Harvey's four goals will become as mythical as McGuinness' growth spurt.

How the **** he's the offspring of one of the hardest workers we've ever had, I'll never know

 

[roos_fanatic08]

He'll play round 1. Bookmark it.

Eddie Ford’s three in a quarter.

Will Phillips Brownlow vote.

All amazing achievements.

but what about rd2?

Reported rd.1 on debut after cleaning up Butters ( legally of course )

Obviously not legally. Unless you're calling out the Kanga-tax at the RPO??

 

[Themanbun]

Pretty sure he is in the top 5 record holders for draft agility test btw. Change of direction = power and he hasn't even come close to his optimal power to weight ratio.

Looked " legal " to me.

Nah he'll go to the bench for a pickle juice/mother's milk combo drinks break when #1 comes on.

Missed having a gun small forward wearing number 1 since this guy lurked under the feet of Longmire, Carey, McKernan and Crocker....
