But on topic, most marks on debut in our club's history with Brad Hardie & Chris Grant. That's some club.
Impressive stat. They both won Brownlows so he is in good company.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Lewis is so cool and calm, didn't panic and took most marks that came his way. Great to see a tall debut at 18 years old and play so well. I was very impressed.

Loved that he took them on a bit too. Didn't always work, but that's ok.
Not many debutantes have a highlight reel hanger for their wall.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Super start from Lewis . Poise and terrific hands .

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
What I loved is how he didn't rush his possessions, making sure he chose the right option and hitting his target. Also loved how he frees his arms to get a handball away although he's going to get pinged occasionally with that light frame.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
I've looked up two different football apps and both say 7 marks . I have learnt never trust the commentators, they make things up so do we have confirmation it's 9 marks ?

As an aside, Young's AFL Fantasy Points Score (73) is higher than Fletcher Roberts highest ever score (64).

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Excellent debut. Really assured young lad and we havent had a key position player with hands that sticky in a while.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
Backed himself excellently today , you would think he would have punched all day and still been a great game.
The kid has balls ! He summed up the Carlton forward line and his player and worked out he could back himself to beat him in the air one on one.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young

A tall with great hands at the bulldogs , who knew?
Great debut Lewis, well done.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young
That was seriously impressive. Loved hs attitude too. When he fills out a bit, looks like a very, very good player.
