Senior 2. Lachlan Cowan

[SurreyBlue]

What was the pick swap that enabled this selection?

2023 2nd rounder

 

[Cowboyblues]

Liking this pick the more I read about it. While it seems like a position that we are well-stocked in, adding a genuine defender might end up having flow on effects on the team (e.g. releasing Doc further up the ground, sending McGov back forward). Seems to have been highly rated, so look forward to seeing what he brings

Welcome to Carlton

Maybe even a year or two of development

Stocker out. Cowan in.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Welcome Lachlan - show us why our recruiters traded up for you

 

[Mr_Plow]

Seems like this guy has some potential AFL attributes, nice.

I like having a Tasmanian on the list...

[BlueBuddha]

seen this kid a lot through juniors. tough and mature and can kick it like a mule. will be a very good player and will handle the step up. Welcome Lachlan

 

[gbatman]

Good pick, we aren't an old side by a long long way but he should become AFL ready once some of our older defenders start to wane.

 

[cookie monster]

Skipper of Tassie too
Looks like he has some spunk
Probably already the best Lachie on our list

Welcome, Lachie.

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

Anyone else see some Maynard in Cowan??

 

[TENACIOUS]

Welcome to the best club in the land Lachie...
Great pick from us, life long Bagger and first to knock back Tassie...

 

[charred_fate]

Pumped about this. A type we need imo. Thought he’d go no later than early 20s.

I was thinking Rodney Maynard…

Kind of crazy he went so late. Must be a deep draft or maybe teams not wanting to waste an early pick on a player who might be coming back to Tassie in 4 years.

 

[Lace_Out]

Like this pick, can definitely see him having an impact.

His athletic profile is pretty close to Maynard but imo he plays like Doch. He’s just a bigger and faster version. Very exciting

A Tasmanian half back flanker? Finally, a successor to Marcus Davies

All right… I’ll show myself out.

Needs to address issues outside off stump and also address his run rate but otherwise a good selection

 

[thylacine60]

pay that excellent first post!

 

[DirtyLeeds]

For those of us, no more than half a dozen who nailed the second pick........

Don't remember seeing many of the "in" club there, and you would have typically scoffed at us

Eat some Leeds...

 

[Arr0w]

Another ball movement player, courageous, finds his own footy, needs to work on his composure

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Great selection. Will only become more powerful as he puts on size and will probably spend some time in the midfield as his footy matures.

Has some genuine weapons and a bit of X-Factor. Arguably has the greatest potential of all our draftees. Can't wait to see him turn on the afterburners.
