Past #46: Lachlan Hosie - delisted after 5 NM games/3 NM goals - thanks Hose

[roos_fanatic08]

too big to play as a small forward, not enough tricks to cement that medium forward role, too small to play as a key forward.

I'll never quite understand why we picked him in the mid season draft when we were well stocked for half forwards.

Cheers for your efforts.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Was given a shot.

Didn’t work out at all due to just not having a point of difference.

 

[Pykie]

The Jake Riccardi non pick to forever haunt us.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Best of luck Lachlan.

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Glad he finally got a taste of living the dream. Best of luck.

The Jake Riccardi non pick to forever haunt us.

Controversial opinion alert:

Riccardi to be out of the league by 2023.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Good luck Lachie

 

[LB2Snake]

Wish the kid all the best. Pretty exciting for him to be taken from Glenelg and get a crack at an AfL career.

 

[Billy Not Really]

It's a bloody ruthless system, I hope he has what it takes to get back into the AFL system, because the effort was certainly there.

At least he can say he made it, which is more than most can say.

Good luck with your future Lachie

"I thought I showed enough": Young Roo surprised by delisting

He was one of 11 North Melbourne players delisted last week.

[ChoppyGun]

Yeah I also agree he certainly showed a bit - certainly gave his all so understand his disappointment.

But when you look at our far more credentialled delistings, then it was always going to be tough for Lachie.

He might get another chance but I doubt it.

Pretty arrogant imo or overly confident

Wasn’t that the rumour of why he took so long to debut? Was a while ago.

I think so. You can have all the confidence you want but if it doesn’t align with your actions you just look arrogant

 

[Devil Fish]

Can someone direct me to the thread from the middle of last year where everyone was shouting from the rooftops that we should take Riccardi?

Lachie gave it his best shot but has likely come up short. No disgrace in that.

All the what if-ism in the last couple of pages of this thread is laughable.

We picked a mid-sized forward when we had Taylor, Zurhaar & Wood.......baffling selection.

Why would you hope he has what it takes to get back in the AFL system? I don't get that.

I think he was watching someone else’s highlight package

Personally I didn't rate him, although may have been given an opportunity if not for a new world of reduced list sizes.

Likely there will be players on the delisted free agents list who offer more than he does.

Pretty arrogant imo or overly confident

Almost as if he is trying to sell himself to another club to continue a career at the top level

Yeah, still bemused a bit by this myself. Source gone tall or small fwd. Atleast we had a gap there.

He showed more in his five games than Balsa did in his last five, and got on the park more than Garner. I'm not saying he's better then Garner, but we've given others more chance than he got for less return.

 

[Twinkletoes]

The expected downsizing of lists meant he was always going to be first in line for the chop unless he did a Riccardi and blew us away with his performances on field.

 

[Clarke is King]

tbh i didn't see it with Hosie. If he did as well as he thinks he did then he will get picked up by another club.
