It's been a strong lineage ever since we drafted Jarrad Boumann ;)

Hopefully any of the new draftees can actually play!
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Just read he did his ACL in his initial draft year. Hope it's all clear for him going forward.

With our team watching over him, what could go wrong?
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
His highlights remind me A LOT of first year Andrejs Everitt when he was that skinny half back flanker who looked like he could be anything in the second half of 2007
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Gee this kid looks smooth as well. We have managed an excellent draft. They all look good. And did we get a few extra picks next year as well
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Reminds me of Bailey Williams the way he is so upright when he kicks, changes direction nicely and kicks off two steps.
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
He’s a great size. One I’m keen to see how we develop him and where he spends his first season at VFL level. He’d be an interesting prospect as a second possession midfielder who can handle the heat in tight and run hard outside.

Bad luck is all I can think really. That's all that can go wrong.
Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
If you're a rookie prospect you'd want to get to the Bulldogs wouldn't you?
Perhaps the Swans get close to our rookie record but I can't think of other teams you'd want to get to for opportunity/development/games played.

The Crows have done exceptionally well over the past 6 years.
