Player Watch Lachlan Gollant - Contract Extension to 2024

[Footypie32]

Interesting that he wears #44 because I reckon he could pass as Peter Caven's son.

 

[John Who]

Gunston is probably not a bad player comparison. Good one on one in the air and plucky around goals.

I really like his reach for marks and agility. So Gunston isn't a bad comparison at all. Really keen to see how this kid goes for next season.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I hope AFC dont forget he is on the list and we don’t see him again until round 22 next year.

 

[WeeBlake]

Looked good for a first gamer. Seems pretty sure of himself.

 

[UcantCme]

The kid has some real confidence about him

Gunston was drafted as a Wing not a forward

Gunston was drafted as a Wing not a forward

You mean Gollant? Gunston was always reported as a KPP with high potential.

Pick 29 – Adelaide – Jack Gunston
DOB: 16/10/91, Height: 191cm, Weight: 74kg
Versatile KPP who has been heavily linked with the Crows and North. Strong over head.

"
Adelaide recruiting manager Matt Rendell said. "I saw him play at full-forward and at fullback and I liked the way he went about playing the full-back role even though he was undersized."

Jack was selected as a versatile key position player who has the capabilities to play both medium and tall, up forward and down back. "




Lachlan Gollant

Height: 191cm
Weight: 72kg
Position: Midfielder
DOB: 12/09/2001
From: Calder Cannons/Vic Metro

Standing at 191cm, Lachlan Gollant is a lightly-built outside midfielder with great footy smarts.

 

[Peter Doherty]

$101 for 5 goals...

 

[StonesThrow]

Not sure he's gonna get the 8 shots required for 5 goals.

Good luck to the lad. Definitely got something about him that you love to watch.

I feel exactly the same, it was one of the reasons I was confident with Rachele, he's a good kick. Not as confident.

Gollant will need a lot going his way, but he kicked 5 last week...

If Madgen goes near him be all over it.

 

[97-98]

$101 for 5 goals...

Those are really bad odds compared to bet365, $1000 for 5+ goals. Also $200 on 4+.
It has shorten to $750 and $125 now.

on the weekend. Watch them try and take speccies off each other all day!

 

[maxlilly]

I've always liked this lad.
I hope he can keep building his game this season.
I reckon he has a really high ceiling and is a difficult match up for opposition teams

 

[40porpoise]

Bumping this.

Have to acknowledge this is likely another Hamish special. Wasn’t on anyones radar 3 years ago and I remember reading reports of how skinny he was and without any special attribute. Now he looks like he could be a very handy AFL forward.

 

[Crow_68]

Give him an extra couple of years ASAP

 

[glengowan]

He was hugely influential. That fist forward he did in the last was smart play. He’s a real talent.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

There is absolutely a player there must not be dropped

 

[Doobie Doedee]

Deserves the rising star nom this week, 4 sausages in a winning effort is amazing!

3 from mark and kicks and the 4th from a crumb, none were cheapies goal.

 

[Mutineer]

The funny thing with Lachie Gollant Hamish more or less indicated he may have gone undrafted that season but he was worried with another year of development he would light up the NAB League and we might not have been able to nab him.

Looks like Hamish got this one right.

For those of you basing your opinions on the highlights package offered by the AFC, I suggest you download the NAB league app and watch the full set of highlights from each of his games played. This offers a much better insight into this kid’s abilities and provides a good 15 minutes of viewing during the footy vacuum over Xmas.

From what I can see, his overhead contested marking is a huge strength and for a 71kg frame he does extremely well, better than McAsey in my opinion. His kicking action is awkward and a little rough, but he has the same raw potential as someone like Doedee had when Hamish selected him out of the blue. He’s also a competitive player and isn’t afraid to lay a shepherd after giving the ball off. All good attributes if he can just add 20 kilos to his frame over the next three years.

Likewise you can watch all of the highlights from McAsey and Worrell on there. FWIW, I’m not super excited about McAsey, he’s a a touch too slow for my liking and has a very Ken McGregor feel about him. Best position may be up front as a tall leading forward, as I’m worried he’ll be caught behind his opponent too often in defence. He barely makes any contest whilst defending in those highlights on the NAB app, but what he does do is roll off his player well to intercept mark.

But who knows really

Fair call on both Gollant and McAsey.

You should post more.

 

[UcantCme]

Love his combination of footy IQ, aggression and set shot for goals

But who knows really

I wouldn't call Jeremy McGovern overly quick, it's all about position and ability to read the play to be an very good intercept defender and McAsey excelled with this during his draft season but hasn't translated this to the AFL yet. We know he has trouble adjusting to moving interstate during the pandemic years which has been well documented.
