LALICH, Judd

Judd Lalich came from East Perth to Essendon in 1998. He was a star at the AFL Draft camp and also a fine cricketer having played Under 17 state cricket.

A tall athletic player with the ability to hold down a key position at either end of the ground, Lalich played nine senior games in 1999 but was unable to force his way into the Club's best 22.

He was brilliant in the Reserves during the finals series where he dominated when used as a mobile ruckman and played in the premiership team.

He was disappointed to have not played a senior game in the great 2000 side.

After playing six games for the Seniors during 2001, Lalich was delisted at the end of the season. He later acted as Club runner in 2004 and 2005.
