Pick 1: Sam Lalor
« on: November 19, 2024, 08:29:32 PM »
Richmond champion Dustin Martin is expected to present the Tigers jumper to the club's No.1 pick on Wednesday night.

The Tigers will have a number of their premiership heroes on hand to present jumpers to their batch of draftees, including Jack Riewoldt and Trent Cotchin.

So, Dusty will present the jumper to Lalor.

Happy for us to take Lalor or FOS. I’m more interested in the other
Picks. Haven’t been this excited for draft night in a long time

SAM LALOR

Position: Medium forward/midfielder

Size: 187cm

Clubs: GWV Rebels/Bacchus Marsh

AFL player comparison: Dustin Martin

A player who’s worn the No. 4 guernsey, idolises Dustin Martin and plays in comparable fashion — a Lalor-Tigers partnership seems like a fairytale. A clean, powerful and physical forward-midfielder with a penetrating kick and strong one-on-one ability, Lalor consistently impacts games forward of centre. He was hampered by foot, quad and hip issues at the start of this season, but returned to the field in the middle of the year with a bang, booting a lazy 7.3 for Geelong Grammar in a school game.

He then kicked 3.1 from 16 touches and three clearances in an eye-catching display for Vic Country against the Allies, before clunking two telling marks against Vic Metro in the carnival final. He also averaged 23.0 disposals, 6.2 clearances, 5.8 marks and 6.0 inside 50s from four Coates Talent League games for the Rebels. His strong showing in the back-end of the year and enormous potential at AFL level now have him at the pointy end of the 2024 pool.

Told Monday night. Club visited him.

Hasn't done a preseason as he played cricket each summer.
