Austin Lucy

Should we have gotten him ? Many people touted him as a 2nd round pick and another kpp wouldn't have hurt us.

Hawthorn passed on pick 65 with Essendon picking Lucy up at 66.

Kind of seems like a waste to me given the fact that I have no interest on anyone in the psd in the PSD.

I thought we should of taken him with 65. I feel picking up guerra in the PSD will be a waste. We need defenders and Austin Lucy was an AA full back, I thought it would of been a steal getting him at 65.

Sounds like just what we needed as we have no fullback. By the size of his stats he sounds developed enough to play AFL football in 2006.

I can't believe we let him slip

wasn't just us who let him slip. he slipped for a reason. the recruiters no why.

Exactly. He lasted to pick 66 for a reason. He's been heavily over-rated by playing on Division 2 forwards and it's not that often that full backs are U18 level are picked up.

He may be a gun, he may be a dudd, I guess time will only tell. But if I see him killing full forwards for the next 12 years I am going to cry!
