Player Watch #35: Charlie Lazzaro - contract extension until end of 2024

[Flawed Genius]

Been on him since day 1. He's going to be so important to us

 

[Billy Not Really]

He should play out the rest of the season if he can, he always manages to bring something each week, and he runs his guts out.

 

[The Nostradamus]

The jets on him

 

[sruss]

Not sure why he was ever dropped, love having him out there

The jets on him

Well played by Larks to not just hand Lazzaro the handball and put him under the pump, created the space for Laz.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Can honestly say he's our best long kick for goal on the run

 

[gokangas]

Same here mate - I love what he brings to the team.

 

[hotchilli]

Nice little return to the side for Laz. Was good to see him at a few centre bounces.

Absolutely love this kid .
Mark my words . He will be a 200 plus gamer for us .
Only knows one way “hard work”

Touch of the Peter German’s about him

Touch of the Peter German’s about him

I don’t see the comparison, but if he can slot goals on the run like German I’ll be happy.

German was the best kick for goal on the run we’ve had in my time supporting North.

Was smart coaching IMO, he had a taste and when he went back he didn't whine, he said I need to work on x and he did it. He's a real beauty and not only plays and holds himself like he loves playing AFL footy, he plays like he loves North Melbourne. Total package off field too.

 

[justroyal]

Was today his first goal on the run? I remembered him missing earlier in the season.

I'd say Hall is the best at our club

Did one earlier in the year. Was his third or fourth goal in total.

Slotted one on the run against the Dogs earlier in the year. Easily forgotten as that game is a bit of a repressed memory.

Kicked one against the dogs with bont on his tail.
Disagree regarding Hall, he is very hit and miss and more so miss these days. On the run from 50 I’d be taking TT

Very similar to todays goal.

 

[Psicosis]

Pretty funny that Shifter said on draft night he doesn’t have great pace or skills…

Sometimes it’s best to trust our recruiters.

How did I forget about Thomas. Good pick up

Peter German was a dead set gun kicking at goal on the run. :stern look

Pretty solid unit was Pete.

Touch of the Peter German’s about him

After watching it again, I reckon he moves more like Paul Spargo. Not the same bash and crash, but certainly similar movement, imo.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Got a bit of character too. I notice if a player has a go at him, he is straight back at them.
When we start winning a lot more, Charlie will be the player with a bit of lip.

From what I understand, Outside of the champs Shifter hardly watches any junior footy anymore. All of his so called “expert opinions” are based on the opinions of the scouts and recruiters he is in tight with.

Anyone online can be a draft expert. Just copy and paste.
