Lin Jong hopes to recapture his best form for the Western Bulldogs

[Bulldog Joe]

One of many bad calls.

Unfortunately it is the rule.
He bounced the ball with the Box Hill player having hold of him. If he had just burst from the tackle first there would have been no free. He needs to learn that you don't need to bounce the ball in your first 5 paces.

Yep the old Kevin Barlett rule brought in at the end of the 70's.

Amazing improvement in the finals. So many big moments.

It'll be great to see how he performs over pre-season and if he can take the next step up to AFL next season. I thought he was no chance, but his efforts have been outstanding.

Maybe we need to play him as a legitimate ball winner/clearance player, rather than a tagger. He seems to be able to win a lot of the ball, he's big and he has explosive pace. His hands in close are really good too.

Yes needs to prove himself at AFL level, but I think he can.

Don't know about a first rounder but he wouldn't last all that long.

The centre bounce in the last quarter when he jumped up and almost grabbed the ball out of the ruck mans hand was my highlight.
