Having a quick look at the replay, he made sure that he got around and congratulated every one of goals kickers as well.

Alex Witherden has been pretty impressive for the Lions four weeks in a row now, he is due for a nod over Young.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Terrific debut added some much needed excitement and joy to my trip to the footy. He really grew into the game and the big grab he took late near the MCC pavilion was a good a moment we've had in 2017. Impressive stuff.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Excellent debut.
Once he settled he really struck me as a player who is able to get on the bigger ground and understand the way the senior level is played.
I was really impressed by his awareness of when to go and when not to.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
For a key marking defender his poise with the ball in hand for a first game was sensational. Didn't panic. Looked at home. Great debut.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
He reads the play brilliantly as a defender! Just got to where the ball was going all the time. It wasn't just intercept marks, he was getting interceptions from bouncing balls too and as Always Right said the way he took on tackles and lifted his arms up to handball out was great too.
Hodge couldn't stop praising him.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Congrats Lewy, a natural continuation of your form from last week in the VFL
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

That's high praise in itself.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
My favourite part of yesterday was watching Young OWN one of Carlton's great white young hopes, Jack Silvagni, in a marking contest.
Suddenly, rather than aspiring for Jake Lever at $850k, I'm pretty confident we've found one who could be just as good for nothing!
The other observation was that, approaching the game I was cringing at the galling prospect of watching Liam Jones tear it up in defence - so it was a really great surprise to see one of the very best debut performances from a pup.
Now with Wood, Young and Cordy, we seem decently poised to cover ourselves with defensive stocks. Particularly if Adams comes back and Collins can come on. Top up with one more and suddenly we're in pretty good shape.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
He's been ok over the past two matches but I'm glad someone finally gave Suckers a swift kick up the backside.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
