If Lovett is aquitted, would he be worth a punt?

[Slappper]

Still have a bit of currency you would think, and he would come to your club for next to nothing.

I think there is a reason St Kilda used a top 10 pick on him for his run, carry and goal sense.

Sure he has been out of the game for a while, but a short stint in the Magoos would sort that out.

 

[SM]

Worked for Krakoeur, so why not?

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

Well he might want to pay for a little salary given he'd make a nice dollar out of unfair dismissal.

 

[beatlesmith]

turning 29, would probably need a (very good) season in a lower league to have a possibility of being drafted. Wouldn't play a game in the AFL until he would be 30, so probably not worth it for any club.
A shame, great player to watch.

 

[Defacto]

hell no.

he turned up the saints in terrible condition. he came 2nd last in our time trials to a rookie ruckman.

he was terrible for east perth after he got delisted by the saints.

Occasionally when we are losing I look at the wide wings of the MCG and think what might have been. If a club is willing to take the risk, and as long as his body is sound, it wont be his on field actions that are the problem.

 

[CF]

can't see him being acquitted

 

[DapperDon]

Nup, too much risk too little reward.

 

[saintsrfreak]

We didn't give up a top ten pick

Heath Shaw said he was worth a punt.

BTW. Where do you get top 10 pick from?

Pick 16 was a top 10 pick that year. Strong draft (cough)

 

[Flukey!]

Surely the OP jests?
Good one

Lovett.........lmao

 

[Byron_Clanger]

If a team wants to take a punt on him

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Yes. For any club, other than Geelong.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Yes. For any club, other than Geelong.

and Hawthorn

 

[Jobe Watson]

Heck no. Would be a cancer at any club he joined.

 

[bisazc887]

Been a bad week for players and the punt

No pun(t) intended

Look a bit wider, Mark Williams will be up there somewhere

 

[stui magpie]

Because of his age, he'd have to go to a club that was close to challenging for a premiership and needed an injection of pace.

St Kilda was in that position when they drafted him.

The clubs that fit the profile now IMO are Hawthorn, Dogs, Cats and Sydney.

 

[maryjames]

can't see him being acquitted

I do..

 

[Mark25Jackson]

lol
he's just been sacked by Fitzroy Stars in the NFL... turning up match day half cut. He's a mess. Not a chance. Fev will be on a list and kicking bags of 20 before Lovett gets another gig.

 

[liam_13]

If he is acquitted his behaviour and work ethic may change, you know 'second chance at life' type of thing.

If so, and if North have a breakthrough year next year and everything is thought-through, would be worth a rookie spot imo. Rookies are designed to be make or break spots, not like a high draft pick which has to be a MAKE.

We should have asked you for a reference instead of James Hird.

Please tell me your joking?
He will be 30, we are no-where near challenging...would select to play a broken down Lindsay Thomas with one leg before this guy.
