Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor

[Baltastan]

The only thing that makes these years enjoyable is watching the kids grow and get better but we can't even get them on the park. What's the point?

can'g get blood out of a stone or flog a dead horse, have to focus on the draft

 

[Truetiger]

Good to see Dangerfield go to Lalor after the match. Would be difficult for the kid.

The clubs damned either way.

Imagine the rage if he played in tomorrows VFL and did it, the same people would be saying he shouldn’t have played VFL and would’ve had a different outcome at AFL level.

There was calls earlier in the year for him to have much more midfield time but it’s clear his body needs true adjustment to this level of footy.

Very sad stuff and I just hope it doesn’t impact his long term development

You’re missing the point that whether it’s vfl or afl he clearly isn’t ready. Don’t BS the supporters. Tell us what’s going on, FFS we have nothing else to hold onto when our club has decided to invest in Taranto and hopper.

If Lalor needs time to adjust to the rigours of afl then tell us. Just like Smillie, where is the communication ?

I fixed the typo, can't trust technology these days


I need to have a sleep, when I wake RFC will be better

"Come to Geelong, we'll get your body right."

Doubt it, a lot hate patty but I just don’t see that.

I was at the game and heard the whole conversation. He also said they could sort him out a house and a deal with Cotton On

Disagree sorry

Lucky he’s only done 2

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Serpent Serpell done more hammies in his first year than Louie did in his whole career. Jury is out on this bloke. Been a massive fail to date

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Lucky he’s only done 2

Don’t count the one he ripped off the bone last year then?

 

[sanaya]

a couple more run throughs with hands on the hips should fix lalor's hammies

 

[Julio Dulio]

Don’t count the one he ripped off the bone last year then?

Well no, the was prior to his first year, as you stated

 

[Bojangles17]

HTF does a 19yo do 3 hammies in 12m , reckon my 90yo father in law could have gone out there and lasted more than 5 min
Smillie
Armstrong
Lalor
All done big hammys,,,, someone needs to be put on notice they’re all flipping teenagers , it just shouldn’t happen, sure if they were all 32 + , they ain’t

 

[Achilles Heel]

I li- read it and it wasn’t a house it was a farm house with 500 acres and 125 cows

Lay out the three

Well he was a rugby league guy different type of game

 

[Mr Magic]

we just need to see if Lalor can get through 2026 without doing a hammy before we rush things apart from focusing on the future

 

[Grockadoc]

Don’t count the one he ripped off the bone last year then?

No, because your post said in his first year at AFL. He didn't play AFL last year.

It’s 3 in less than 12mths - it’s a massive concern. Hit the panic button

Not a concern at all. As I’ve said, Grimes and other players have got over it.
