Delisted #36: Lauchlan Dalgleish

[Yoda_]

i like him, looks promising like Yoda has mentioned

I hope we can release him up to a wing at some stage tonight. Everyone will be in awe at his leg speed

 

[BrunoV]

Leave the boy in. He should start round 1 2014 a best 22 player. He and Dempsey can rotate onto a "wing".

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Ultimately, he could be a new breed of shut down defender. I don't know what his bodywork will be like once he gets a body with which to work, but he actually has the pace to match any small forward on the lead or on the break back to goal.

 

[dnbassador]

would make a speedy forward have to work alot harder thats for sure

 

[eth-dog]

So quick.

It's hard to tell at the moment because he get beaten in the way you'd expect a 20 year old small defender to get beaten. If he has been able to develop his game to the point that he can have an impact at AFL level in probably 18 months (this evening's game has been in him for probably a month or so now) it suggest he is a quick learner.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Yep, I think we've got something work working with here. Even if he doesn't work out to be great 1-on-1, there's plenty of roles to which his attributes are suited.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Good game for a young guy. It looked like North did their homework on him, there were several occasions where a player repeatedly blocked him to prevent hisoverlap run.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Sign him on. Very impressive start, didn't panic under pressure and found space.

 

[eth-dog]

Can I just say that he's ****ing fast?

 

[ZaharakisFTW]

I like

 

[Xavier Menzies]

could be a very good player next year

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Showed plenty of dash another Dempsey?

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

I thought Gleeson was the new Dempsey

 

[blitzer]

His first quarter was particularly impressive. Quiet after that but a pretty solid debut all up. I would love to be able to play Dempsey/Hibberd on a wing next year and have him take one of the HBF spots. Our midfield could really use another speedy type and I think taking one of Dempsey/Hibberd from the backline is our best chance to get a mature one in a time frame that will actually help us.

Its so nice when you have a player who is lightning fast but also has a great kick. Hell that's pretty much exactly what players like Lewis Jetta and Isaac Smith bring to the table and they've been automatic inclusions in 2 of the best sides of recent years.

Does Beau Waters play midfield for the Eagles? Hibberd isn't fast anyway. And Dempsey, I'm sorry, him in the midfield was 3 years ago, when he couldn't defend. Why move him now when he actually knows how to do that?

 

[Doss]

Really liked what I saw. Plenty to work with here.

 

[Bark Maguley]

Was pretty good in the first quarter then disappeared can't wait to see more of him next year

 

[VelvetSledge]

Welcome to the big time, kid.

You're gonna make it.

 

[eth-dog]

ended up with a FF/FA dif 0/1. It should have been 1/0

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Hoping Lauchie can keep his spot come next year. Looking really silky from what I saw today. Think he could be a very valuable player for us!

 

[Mercurial89]

SO happy he is getting his chance. Was really excited to see him get elevated been waiting for it for ages.

Hope he takes this opportunity

 

[Towno78]

No it shouldn't have

 

[VelvetSledge]

Best 22 next year. Sign him on.

 

[eth-dog]

No it shouldn't have

Simpson's free was exactly the same
