Its funny, I like to think I have a pretty good eye for decent players because I've played with and against some excellent players plus spotted players early.Lord is an interesting one. Has some mongrel, had an amazing finals campaign but terrible 2024. His kicking has never been good and not super quick or fit. Can’t chop out in the ruck. All that being said, he could turn it on in 2025 with some consistent games and a good run at it.
I’m still for trading him though. If there is a good offer, I’m talking late first rounder territory, then we are better to cash in now rather than watch as he struggles next year and his value plummets to a bag of chips. Ie take the Hartlett, Butcher, Lobbe trades!
Lord I can't get a read on at all. I have no idea whether he'll make it. My money is on No at the moment but you never know.
