No.1 pick Lalor heads trio of Tigers AFL debutants

Lalor was concussed and suffered a fractured jaw when pushed into a marking contest during match simulation on February 17 against West Coast.

But he returned in an intraclub hitout last week and kicked two goals to confirm he would be ready for the Blues.

The Tigers recruited Trainor with their fourth pick at No.21 in last year's draft and Armstrong was recruited two selections later.

Lalor will most likely play in the midfield and forward, while Trainor is likely to start off half-back and Armstrong will be a marking option in attack.

The rebuilding Tigers had six round-one picks in the national draft.
