Footscray "VFL running machine" Lachie Sullivan

Re: Footscray "VFL running machine" Lachie Sullivan

It's hard to know the step up can be too big for some. McComb is a gun vfl player for eg.
I'd love to see Sullivan get a rookie contract, give him that chance to prove himself.

McComb can find the ball, even at AFL level. His disposal lets him down at AFL games I have seen.

From the article, he has engine to run all day, can find the ball.


Is Sullivan a better kick than McComb?

We do have a habit of drafting players and not playing them to their strengths.

I've seen most of the VFL but on the small screen and I wouldn't take Sullivan he's a great player at this level but I see the same traits our other VFL upgrades have. His disposal can be a bit suss.

Why wouldn't we just draft a guy who is good in that position though? Rather than redefine a midfielder...

I'd have no problems with drafting Sullivan but would he be played in his best position with us or have to modify his game? I'd say it's more likely to be the latter.

Which is why we shouldn't draft him. We should draft players who will excel in the positions we need to fill.

Lachie Sullivan played very well again albeit in a very one sided final against the Casey Demons.
Has enjoyed a very good season and must come under consideration.
