Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor

[RichoLedio]

Beautiful kicking & clean hands by that I don't just mean handballing either but his a great mark as well.
has that aura doesn't he?

He has that feel about him, will be an absolute superstar

He just looks like he is well above AFL standard. And that was his first year.

Looks for others and sees ahead of the game. Looking forward to his career chasing Dusty. I f he maximises his potential he could reach that level - well IMHO.

This doesn't mean much now, but I remember watching a Rebels vs Bushies game in '24...Lalor was absolutely taking the piss in the middle...35 easy...My son (for Bushies) admitted later he didn't do much, because he was too busy watching him...I also saw a couple of Richmond suits there, and maybe one of them was Chris Toce...They would've picked this guy then and there…

I'm excited to see what Sammy shows us this season, haven't been this excited since we started the 2017 finals campaign.

Yep, huge gap from now to Dusty. But Lalor gives me the vibes that he could do it. Maybe. Maybe if things go right.

We need to stop with the Dusty comparisons, he is unlikely to ever be that good.

That doesn't mean he won't be a match winner and a very good player for us.

Spot on.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

He definitely has the potential to beat Dusty in the neck tatt area. Certainly has more real estate to work with.

[Grrr]

Just get through the season uninjured, or nothing reoccurring etc, the rest will take care of itself.

 

[bc27]

More Michael Voss then Dusty.

 

[matt_y106]

jeez. Imaging Dusty retiring and rolling into Michael Voss reincarnated.

 

[tunksy]

More Michael Voss then Dusty.

Wouldn’t say no to that

I guess that was my point. He is unlikely to ever get the Dusty level. But Lalor has amazing ability, like the great man.

He just seems to be a step above, even in his first game.

What happened to sam today ?
Why did he leave the ground early

He was too good so they asked him to leave politley.

 

[Cherki]

Keen to get another glimpse of his sausage

More Michael Voss then Dusty.

Style wise I think Dusty was quicker, more evasive and agile, but Lalor is definetely better overhead and looks a better set shot for goal early on.

Plenty of shared attributes though.

funny game footy i remember watching lids and dusty going from highly talented kids to superstars...both practically bullet proof and injury free until they hit 30 ish then injury gods were so unkind and cruel. would love to see our next block of superstars being played six games on, one game off, they need to be as fit as marathon runners and run a sub 22s over 200, jump on planes going from chilly Tasmania to sauna like Darwin with only 4,5,6 day breaks these days. 18 games a season max....look at black caviar raced over 6 seasons for 25 runs/wins.

Lids was never a superstar. A very good footballer in a bog ordinary side.

Dusty wasnt a superstar until the team lifted as well.
Lids would of been in a good team

If Lids was drafted to the Hawks instead of Tigers
He would have been talked about as a brownlow medalist and multiple premiership player

Yep, same applies to Richo, never gets talked about highly enough IMO due to playing for shit teams and no GF's. He would be considered better than Dusty IMO if he played in GF's
