Past #35: Charlie Lazzaro - delisted end '24 - 39 NM games/5 NM goals - thx Laz

[RossHenshaw]

Could he play half back?

And turn it over like LMac ?
Yes why not

 

[Nylex]

Could he play half back?

Looks like he has the application and speed

 

[Topparoo]

He’s a far better kick than LMac

 

[hotchilli]

Could he play half back?

Would be exposed defensively. Can’t play him in the same backline with Fish.

Thats not entirely on him however i agree we would be compromising a position to suit the player.

 

[Pagans Paddock99]

Was told today that he wouldn’t be offered another contract.

Shame for him as he clearly has worked extremely hard and is an ultimate professional. Just lacking some of the physical tools to be an AFL level mid.

Same with drury.

Pity some of the more talented players cant graft like these blokes.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I’d move him to the rookie list

 

[giantroo]

Thanks Laz.

Nothin against Laz, but was his selection another of the stupid Clayton/Luff ones, where we took 3 blokes all around similar heights in same draft?

 

[Amicalola]

Genuinely a bit gutted about this one. Worked hard and seemed like a lovely guy. Maybe Lazz will be the first player I go full Nuffie on and message my condolences to.

 

[Benj7]

Had a decent start to the season in the preseason.

 

[perplexed]

Good luck Laz.

He was never the most talented player, but did everything he could to make it. Hope we keep him in the VFL side.

 

[Zondor]

You could not question his work ethic. Disappointing it didn't work out for him at the Mighty NMFC. :stern look

 

[shinboner magic]

If all players had his work ethic we’d be a nice better side.
Good luck on your next endeavour

 

[King Corey]

Sad to see him go. If VFL is his ceiling hope we can keep him involved in our program. Seems a top lad.

I am too

 

[Jasemon]

Loved Lazz and you could never question his work ethic. Got everything out of himself and I truly think we’ll miss his speed around the ground.

In addition an absolute top bloke and the club would do well to offer him a VFL contract in regards to setting standards if he has no lifelines thrown his way at AFL level (which would not be out of the question).

Thanks for everything Lazz.

 

[muttley45]

Good luck Laz, unfortunately, could never really translate good VFL form to the higher level, despite ticking just about every other box, still got youth on his side, hope he finds a new home.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Charlie had his moments and showed some real toe and spread which is not exactly in abundance at our Club.

He's probably unlucky because there are a handful of contracted players who you could argue offer less than him.

 

[northbergs]

Unfortunately not up to it. You can’t just keep blokes on the list for their pre-season work ethic. A good VFL player, not AFL. I’d be surprised if he gets picked up elsewhere.

[roos_fanatic08]

Genuinely a good human. Always professional and he gave it a red hot crack. Considering the time we gave to the likes of Garner, Turner ect I was hoping that Lazz would get another year.

Hope he goes to the VFL and gets another crack at it elsewhere. Also wouldn’t be disappointed he is continued to train with us in the hope of getting a SPP spot.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Thanks Laz. Gave everything you had, just couldn't put it together at AFL level. All the best!

On a sidenote, Henshaw's must be like this right now with Charlie's delsting.
