, they have similar attributes but Lawson can kick both feet and has a much better attitude.

Love to watch him, it feels safe in his hands!

Watching the Freo V West Coast game, I feel like Lawson is our replacement for Jordan Clark, they have similar attributes but Lawson can kick both feet and has a much better attitude.

Love to watch him, it feels safe in his hands!

He's already racking it up for a kid, but with another pre-season he'll become a 25 possession a game player IMO.

Scotty and the coaching staff will build a portion of the game plan around his kicking over another off-season, it's just such a weapon.

Branded him our answer or Kiddy Coleman when he was drafted, and could see him ending up even better with time.

Like Coleman though, as he builds experience and continuity in the seniors, players will get the ball in his hands. It's always the way with the best users.

We’re fast developing an incredible young group of damaging ball users. Humphries, Miers, Dempsey, Stengle, Close.

The main difference between him and Coleman is Humfries is tough and hard at the ball.

Coleman in the past has been extremely soft and almost allergic to defend.
Very good player but with what Lawson has showed, he could be better and by a fair margin

 

[STPer18]

Hard to tell from the telecast but I saw him pop up in the forward line a few times. Could easily see him on one wing and Dempsey on the other for a decade. Incredible drafting.

CATS KEEN TO LOCK IN MATURE-AGE SENSATION​

GEELONG has moved quickly to lock away mature-age recruit Lawson Humphries, offering the West Australian a two-year contract extension.

The Cats are working through a deal that could keep Humphries at Kardinia Park until at least the end of 2027.

Humphries has the option to rollover a third season now, under the new collective bargaining agreement, but could accept Geelong’s offer of two years.

The 21-year-old has played the past seven games for Chris Scott

after earning a debut against Essendon in round 16, producing eye-catching moments with his kicking skills on both feet.

Geelong selected Humphries with pick No.63 – the second-last overall selection and the club's sixth pick – in last November's Telstra AFL Draft.

Humphries opted against signing with a manager ahead of the draft but has since signed with Tom Seccull from Hemisphere Management. – Josh Gabelich

Assume there would be a minimum game threshold - even if not set in concrete it would be a factor…

In terms of the squad it is actually a pretty good group of players. I even found it hard in good faith to get all 3 of our boys in. Of course I did squeeze them in!!! But there is a fair amount of talent in this list

Holmes rather than Close I think it is - Bradley is slightly too old

Holmes & Dempsey are definite ins for mine - Bruhn with a couple of injuries this season has held him back

Even has a photo of Holmes

Contracted until the end of next year, it will be a matter of when, not if he signs an extension with the Cats — and with his standing rising by the game, it might help his bank balance to hold off.

That and the mines, of course.

“I was keen to sign up, I guess you’ve got to play a bit of business behind it,” Humphries said with a smile.

“I’m pretty happy with where I’m at but we are also in finals and I don’t want to be thinking about a contract at the moment I guess. I’ll leave that with my agent, but I’m enjoying my time here so it is more about the timing of it than the actual doing of it I guess.”

Why is he guessing so much?

Why is he guessing so much?

I take that more as some nerves from the interview rather than actually guessing about the situation

Similar to how some people continually say 'like' as a filler

My understanding is that the terms are largely agreed for a long term extension. Wouldn’t be suprised to see it announced soon after season (although as you know they often hold announcements for max media exposure - maybe just ahead of Cargie? If miss that they will wait until pre season). Think Dempsey is not far off too

 

[BORIS332]

Watching him live at Adelaide Oval last week, Lawson is clearly made for the big stage. From the first bounce he wanted it more than anyone else, he just wants the ball in his hands. Absolute ripper of a pick.

This draft selection was grand theft all Australian
