List Mgmt. Welcome to Geelong Padraig Lucey - Rookie Draft selection no. 49

[betchsta]

Don't know much about this guy who was on the recruit..

Lucey, a 204cm ruck prospect, qualifies as a category B rookie under the international player rules and his salary will sit outside the cap — unless he is upgraded to the senior list and plays AFL games.

Anyone seen the show?

Like his height at least!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Good pickup. It may have been selective editing but he looked totally below the level for most of the show and then a month or so ago he totally flicked the switch and stormed home.

The query on him is professionalism - so he is at the right club to iron that out. Upside is massive.

Sorry, merge thread

pretty sure sarah.13 was calling for this signing?
204cm, I'm sold!

 

[OzeSparky]

He actually showed massive improvement in his time on the show. Still needs a lot of work though.

 

[cats_09]

Will he be our first Irish/International signing?

I guess this addresses one of our issues in the need to draft a ruck - here is the project player and now to see if we can trade in someone that will actually stay on the park

 

[thejester]

Well there goes my smug superiority about us never picking up an Irish player.

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease be another Wells gem.

 

[rooie]

as long as he doesn't go running across the mark in a prelim to gift a grand final to the hawks...

 

[Beth]

Hmmm not that The Recruit actually shows us any footy but he hasnt seemed to show much in the mental strength department...

Also start losing the puppy fat son!

 

[Lana]

We definitely needed a project Ruckman, but we still need to get someone who is ready to go. I am definitely not going to make any judgements on him based on his performance on a reality tv show.

 

[year of the cat]

I hope that's not the extent of our incoming ruck stocks this off season. May as well have recruited that girl with the bunny ears from Big Brother.

 

[woodyman]

Pretty happy with this, could be a decent project! Young, big and a tonne of potential

 

[Partridge]

as long as he doesn't go running across the mark in a prelim to gift a grand final to the hawks...

First ruck Round 1.

 

[Lana]

First ruck Round 1.

If Blicavs could do I don't see why this guy couldn't.

 

[GFrost]

Why not? They would have a heck of a lot of information on him (what we saw on tv would be a drop in the ocean), cost nothing, no risk.

*post is in reference to signing, not to discussion on him being our round 1 ruck

You can take Gorringe off our hands

Seriously though, I'm a big fan of Padraig. Good to see you guys pick him up. I'm confident that it's a good acquisition.

 

[Two Planks]

If Blicavs could do I don't see why this guy couldn't.

Blicavs played some reserves footy the year before.

 

[Whit3y]

what are his running patterns like?

 

[Teriyakicat]

At least she'd be a distraction for the opposition, so our players can run off them and get some scoring happening.

 

[Partridge]

what are his running patterns like?

Elite. Obviously.

 

[Whit3y]

Elite. Obviously.

can he kick a footy and/or get the footy?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Hopefully he'll feel right at home in Geelong during the winter
