Austin Lucy - PSD

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Austin Lucy looks set to be delisted by the Bombers, after only 1 year.

I have no idea why, but a young, solid, developing defender could be ok ?

Especially for free ??

Doubt he would be delisted, I saw it in the Herald Sun, I think it was, that he's likely to be re-signed. He was highly rated in his draft year, but obviously the club scouts didn't agree (went at 65, I think). Maybe worth a shot, obviously haven't seem him play enough to make a call, but if our recruiters think he has talent than why not?

Maybe he's crap!

Mojo said he was slow off the mark like Livo and he would regretfully delist him after only one year so we should pass.

Hopefully.

Very slow off the mark

I reckon he might be worth a shot if nothing else comes up (and there doesnt appear to be anything, apart from Notting).

Hughes doesn't rate him either.

Take another untried youngster

Take the best available. The only 2 I would look at is McPhee or Notting. If we cannot get either of them, i'd have a look at a kid that was overlooked in the ND

Very slow off the mark

Lucy was top 10 for 20m sprints in the draft camp.. no problem with his speed...hes only problem is his size

Can't see him being delisted by the bombers after only 1 year though.

Cmon C4. You dont want him. Essendon finished in the same position as you blokes and played youngsters all year. Im sure they will have a decent idea on where he is at.

Plus, from what i have seen of him, hes useless. Waste of a pick..

I'd like to see him given a go. Of course I'm biased as I played footy with him at Caloundra, but he has a lot to offer speed wise.

Not all kids are going to develop into a star in one year. Development with some youngsters take time. He'd be worth a crack I reckon.

These are our uncontracted players: Nash, Jay Bradley, Kepler, Johns, Courtney , Lee, Andrew, McPhee, Adam and Ramanauskas, Adam .

From that list Ramma will be delisted but we still need to delist 1 more player if we want to use a psd pick and i cant ssee any of thoose uncontracted players leaving.

He improved as the season went on but he is not a KPP, he is a HBF/HFF.

So was Livingston but Lucy is slow off the mark when you take into account the fact he doesn't know when to go.

That's what Mojo said after seeing him play this year.

I have vauge memories of someone saying that the problem with Lucy is his first 5 metres is very slow and he plays in a position where his opponant's first 5 metres is generally explosive, so he ends up giving them too much of a start. It's not a good match.

The way the PSD is shaping up I would be inclined to just use it to get a jump on the rookie draft.
