Jack Lonie

[Rampstar]

Caleb Daniel is gonna be really interesting on draft night. No doubt he can play, he knows how to play, the only reason I didn't include him in my groupings is that I have 1 or 2 smaller types in my list anyway, Im hoping a club picks him.

[Yeahright]

Problem with going off a highlight reel is it makes his kicking look better than it is

If it does that with kicking then it does that with every skill used and every player.

Why don't you just get on board!!!

Tried to dig it up but couldn't find it. Was on board about 6 months ago and had a conversation with someone on here about him . Feel like it might of been Dwaino but he might tell you otherwise.

I think what highlight reels show is what a player is capable of. At least we know he can kick to a really high level. Id rather go with a highlight reel of a player kicking in real action of a game rather than rubbish kicking test they have come up with where there is no heat. The kicking test at the combine is a waste of time IMHO.

Good point regarding highlight reels. I don't mind the kicking test. Most times it does correlate well with good kickers but I guess it just has to be taken with a grain of salt

Later pick, get him, just what we need, he's probably bigger than old mate from Port and he kills it. Look at the highlights, has plenty to offer...get it done Tiges.

Good call WAT

IT’S rare that a 110-point win is defined by a smother.

From the Hun today...,

But, Jack Lonie’s want to throw himself at Bomber Jake Melksham’s boot in the third quarter was as influential as any of St Kilda’s 25 goals on Sunday afternoon.

That smother, along with 18 disposals and a brilliant dribble goal, earned Lonie the Round 14 Rising Star nomination.

“The boys were just really happy that I played my role. It was great that it turned into a goal. It’s not something you get a stat for — a kick, mark or handball — it’s just a little one percenter,” Lonie said.

Lonie has kicked just 10 goals across 12 games in his debut season, but it’s his defensive ferocity that’s prompted some Lenny Hayes fans to add a No. 3 to their jumper.

Too small , who was that player from up Albury way we got ,number of years ago ,  now plays with fev, was champion junior and bush legend but didn't make it being too small

He's not too small

Watch him up close he's magic

He is a quality young player. Its a pity we didn't have another pick around the 30 mark to pick him.

We did, we took Menadue at 33 and Lonie went at 41.

I meant having 2 picks around this mark

[WA Tiger]

Mmmmmm. Just what we needed, could have one of the ones we needed to get us to the next level...

Richmond were keen on him but felt we needed speed so we went Menadue. Been told that we were hoping he'd make it to pick 52 because he was our next preference.

Should of traded someone

  ...he was picked up in the draft. We should have selected him before Menadue then tried to get Menadue at 52.

[Yeahright]

We rated Menadue slightly higher (rightly or wrongly, time will tell) and he fit our needs for speed so who knows if he would of been there at 52 either.
Despite Judge's dyslexic typing he has a point (I assume) that we should of traded someone for an extra pick around that area.

[Diocletian]

Most people were complaining that we didn't land a big fish last year but my main complaint was that we didn't at least trade back into the draft - which was all the more perplexing when you consider we rated the draft very highly and had apparently been planning for it and targeting it since even before the previous year's draft.
