Western Bulldogs legend Scott Wynd helps Josh Prudden find an AFL home

[azabob]

WESTERN Bulldogs legend Scott Wynd has helped fast-track one of the biggest draft smokies on to an AFL list - at his former club.

The Brownlow medallist coached Josh Prudden at Assumption College this year, boosting the bargain-basement onballer into the draft pool before the Dogs pulled a recruiting surprise, pouncing at pick No.50.

Only three clubs showed interest in the inside midfielder, who has battled injury setbacks headed by a quad tear the past two years, while he was overlooked for an invite to the national draft combine.

Could be the steal of the Draft.

Could be the steal of the Draft.

There were a number of other club recruiters who went - who?

But he certainly looked good on the highlights package

I'm guessing BR was referencing this.

Like hearing these types of stories about our recruits, never gets tiresome. Sounds like a good get.

They all do before they've played. Hope the kid works out.

Noticed Josh hasn't come completely from nowhere as he was on the radar a couple of years ago at U16 level, being a member of the Vic Country team.

The kid has a good highlights package and is recommended by a Bulldog legend who has been coaching him. Clubs are taking speculative guesses on who will be a player well and truely by pick 50.
