Player Watch Pick #57 (2023) - Will Lorenz

[It Just Is]

That’s the definition of being thrown in the deep end!

He’s the first player in a long long time to bang the door down at selection for this club. Clearly wasn’t in our plans for this year but forced his way in through performance.

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Rough to get your early game time 3/4 into a semi but the kid did well

 

[davesnothere]

Goes into a preseason knowing he's good enough. That's got to be a good thing.

 

[all seeing eye]

Perhaps Lorenz to a wing next year and after last night Burgoyne to half back, especially if Houston goes.

Nahh, Sinn taking Houston’s half back. Burgoynes ability to cover ground arch to arch and defensive commitment in the role will better serve us on a wing. Add Rome and Louis as Half Backs in the off season, we good.

Perhaps Lorenz to a wing next year and after last night Burgoyne to half back, especially if Houston goes.

But Lorenz on the other Wing next year, for sure! Is going to add to our Fab 4, JHF, Butters, Drew and Wines. Get Rozee to Half Forward ffs, how many times last night Butters, JHF and Rozee attended Centre Bounce and Hawks cleared?

I think depending on form you’re hoping to get 5-15 games into him next year to keep his development ticking over

Should have got that into him this year, 5-8…

This kid will be a lock in 2025 at half fwd or wing.

Burgoyne and Lorenz for the wings. Just back him in.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I hope Lorenz gets first crack at the wing but it would mean a Boak retirement and we know how selfish our players are.

Selfish like the coach.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He looked a player from day one, he's an Amon quality late pick but has showed even more much sooner.

Should have played 3 or 4 minor round games and could easily have stayed in the finals teams.

Football brain, slick mover and good kick. Look forward to his development.

 

[Port2Power]

Please add another 5-8 kilos during this off season.

Will be a gun!!

Love his composure and kicking. Seems like a goal kicking wingman too.

 

[Scodges]

I still recall his performance on Grand Final Day in 2022. Get rid of Rozee and Butters and let this guy go to work. Then you might have a chance.

Say what ?

Lorenz played in the future's game on GF day in 2022 for Team Murphy.

 

[Rash]

Has this guy falled off the face of the earth or what??

Should be getting games with all these injures, like williams if he cant now when can he??

Yeah, it looks like Moraes jumped over him so he would be disappointed.

He really is a guy we need to get a look at.

Maybe we'll get Boaky to 500 games.

Too early to say he's fallen off, only been 1 SANFL game vs a dominant Glenelg side. Hopefully he builds into the season and presses for a spot. Also he's only a 2nd year player. Williams in his 6th.

 

[AlbertPower]

He's looked very flat.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

He's looked very flat.

I do wonder if we had the flu run through our team.

If it did it might still be doing so which worries me for St Kilda.

Its a long season. I'm sure he'll get a chance soon
