Player Watch #37 Liam Fawcett

[Dr Tigris]

Great white hope feels.

Hope he tears it up. If he does we could end up with too many good young KPFs. What a terrible problem

 

[voorhees]

like all, just wont to see this kid get a run at it
put that disappointing injury year behind him and progress forward
that size he has put on is a great start
impress in the VFL and then stamp his name in the seniors!

Does anyone know if he can ruck?
It could give him the leg up to get regular games this year if he can play CHF/2nd ruck.

Hopefully he's able to at least give Nank a chop out to give us a few more options.

Atm it sounds like we're going to try a three tall setup, with Fawcett, Ryan, Bauer and possibly Gray competing for two spots.

Got a good vibe about this kid, hoping he surprises all!

You always did have a soft spot for blondes

Do you think other clubs' supporters would all be obsessed with the possibility of nabbing Armstrong or Faull off us, like a lot of us have been obsessed with Cadman?
As long as they don't follow the form of Schache or Patton or that guy I wanted instead of Balta who got drafted early then never fired a shot (and whose name I obviously can't remember).

There are alot of KPF that dont make it or become Defenders

Fawcett and Gray are out of contact end of 2025. Fawcett and Gray both have a little bit of VFL experience. I reckon Fawcett gets first crack cos he's been at the club longer. Coaches like to have a look at players traded In First. Like Naismith. No FAs this year so Fawcett first in line.

I think Fawcett and Faull will duke it out over the next two years as they both seem similar types.

Absolutely other clubs will want those guys for the next 3-4 years.

If Fawcett comes good and is B+ AFL quality, and Armstrong and Faull look the goods we can play the 3 prongs, or trade out a good youing KPF. GWS did that, and the young KPFs they traded had good currency. KPFs retain preceived value compared to other players.
