Body is 100%. He’s physically massive. Didn’t shoot the lights out in match sim but is training well, shown his class. Aiming for round 1 debut. You’re all caught up.

Huge upside.
If the club reckon he has only shown around 60% then I’m very excited for what’s to come!

100%
When we look at this draft it’s clear the club have gone for upside over potential consistency
We have picked the Dustin Martin over the Tom Scully so to speak
Definitely some more risk involved but we are also ground zero for the rebuild so it’s the perfect time to take those risks because no one player will be lumped with the pressure to lead us out of this slump
We are currently discussing similar in the pre season thread
Lalor may end up as a Josh Caddy or Cam Raynor who ultimately might not live up to that early hyper but still be a handy player to have but if we can harness this raw potential the sky is the limit to what he can become

Kid seems pretty switched on - hopefully he can ignore all the hype/comparisons/number one pick baggage and just get on with being his own player

he hasnt had a kick yet give him time
Watching this kid around packs; breaking tackles, pushing off senior players, finding players in space, reacting with composure is exciting. Especially given how young and raw he is. He really could turn into one of the stars of the competition with more time to build up his fitness, strength and, most importantly, experience. He is such an unpolished diamond, ready to be cut and developed into another cult figure to propel us towards another flag.
Its up to the kid and the club to give him the right support and development first though. So exciting.

Injured limited training and only shown 60%. More De Goey than Dusty. But a non-dickhead. Sounds like someone to watch over the years. And shows good leadership early. Happy good times.
His playing style is most like Cam Raynor than the others I reckon, but hopefully better. Not that Rayner is a dud, but you'd hope for more out of a pick 1.

Whoa whoa whoa it’s Monday morning for some of us. No hope for getting any work done with this going on 
Rance was no Dusty. Neither was Dyer, Hart, Bartlett.
But they were pretty decent.
