Zaine Cordy - Welcome to the Bulldogs

[bornadog]

The Western Bulldogs have added their fifth father-son to the senior list, taking defender Zaine Cordy with pick 61 at this morning’s bidding meeting at Etihad Stadium.


A versatile and athletic tall defender, Cordy was rated a top-30 prospect before bidding and slipped through to the fourth round, with the earliest bidder Fremantle placing a bid at pick 51.


Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple said securing Cordy with a fourth round pick was an excellent result for the Club and sets up an exciting trade and draft period.


“To acquire Zaine in the fourth round is a big positive for our Club, as we still hold three picks inside the top 26,” Dalrymple said.


“Zaine possesses all the right qualities in a defender, he is super competitive, and has the versatility to play on a range of opponents.”


“We are extremely pleased to have secured Zaine, having watched him closely over the past three years, as we think he will adds a different element to our emerging defensive group.”


Zaine Cordy joins brother Ayce, Lachie Hunter, Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore as father-son draftees currently on the senior list the Club.

Rediculous. I can say that I was told from one of the highest people at the club that pick 25 was in fact genuinely on the table. Genuinely considered a straight swap for Higgins compo. I've just read this and it's day light robbery, crazy stuff. In-Zaine in the Brian will start up soon for bandwagon membership.

How come if freo picked him at 5 we get him at 61?

That's a typo in the article. We have pick 5, Freo went with 51 I believe.

You mean Freo pick 51 which means we use our next pick 61
