Delisted #36: Lauchlan Dalgleish

[blitzer]

Had some real talent but never had enough impact on games or found enough of the ball. Wish him all the best but this was the right decision.

Could we have rookied him just in case 2016 was the turning point?

Major list overhaul must start somewhere. If you are out of contract and have barely played a senior game in more than 2 seasons then your papers are stamped, injuries or not. Hardly beat the door down in the VFL and not withstanding a couple of nice flashy plays in NAB cup, didn't show that much to deserve any longer. May be the first, wont be the last.

Totally agree. Seems like a very obvious one.

Couple too many hammy problems hurt him. Is the type of player that if you had a bigger list you would have a longer look.

There has to be more to this story, he has speed and ability, there has to be another reason!

Battler at VFL level, not sure much more needs to be said.

He averaged 13 disposals in the VFL and has massive injury problems.

Really sad about this one. I was a big fan of him and thought he would be playing some senior footy as soon as he got his body right.

 

[BrunoV]

Has signed with Footscray in the VFL.

I sincerely hope that his body allows him to fulfill his potential. He has too many elite AFL attributes to not get another chance as long as his form is solid and his body holds up.

That we did not choose to find room for him in teams when he was in good form in the last few years just goes to show how stupid and/or crippled by the supplements sage our list management and team selection policies have been.

 

[yodellinhank]

I wonder if he got a phone call about being a top up player?

Doubt any of the Essendon delistees did.

Good. Should kill it in the VFL this year.

 

[daffo]

Really happy that he is getting another go. I hope he can impress and get onto the Bulldogs senior list. Any player that has had experience with Essendon and goes to the Bulldogs turns out to be a gem.

Have a friend who follows Footscray in the VFL, and watches quite closely. Said Dal has essentially been a huge non-factor in all 3 games so far.

He did nothing in the Dogs v Blues game I saw.

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah, heard he's been disappointing.

 

[Kakkle]

11 Disposals, 2 marks, 3 tackles
13 Disposals, 5 marks, 2 tackles
14 Disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles


Disappointing to see.

 

[Doss]

Mental thing?

He's got the talent.

 

[eth-dog]

Talked to a mate who's playing for Footscray. Apparently carrying a niggle in his right hammy.

 

[eth-dog]

Has somehow made it into the state squad.
