    He feels like a kid that would've been extremely highly rated next year if no one took him. He's probably the true 'project' of this draft crop

    Don't you dare pull out the Scott Clayton classic: "We think he would have been a top 10 draft pick next year" (applied to Wight, Skipper and O'Shea I believe)
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    I like big guys who can take pack marks.

    We have some serious marking power at the club right now with Roughie, Toyd, Cloke, Wood, Adams and this 'young' fellow!

    At first glance, it's definitely the most Clayton-esque draft that Dalrymple has produced.

    With Bevo at the helm, and a gun development set up with Footscray (2 unknowns getting drafted!), we're in a much better position to take these players than we were in the 2000s.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Tiller was the most talented of that group. He used to torch Chris Grant at training and not many did that.

    I was always bullish about Tiller. Shame he didn't make it.

    He had a chronic lack of confidence. It's not something I understand myself.

    Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Lewis Young

    Lewis Young excited to move to AFL premier Western Bulldogs.

    STURT forward Lewis Young only scraped into the national draft by 11 days and now he’s suddenly joining the AFL’s reigning premier the Western Bulldogs.

    Young was one of only six SANFL players drafted on Friday night when the Bulldogs took him with pick No.49.

    The 17-year-old doesn’t turn 18 until December 20 meaning he was one of the youngest players in this year’s draft pool but that didn’t deter the Dogs.

    The athletic 197cm forward/ruckman spent Saturday saying goodbye to his grandparents at Goolwa before preparing to fly to Melbourne to start pre-season training.

    Young played under-18s, reserves and made one league appearance for Sturt this season and impressed with his test results at the draft screening.

    “I’m stoked, I couldn’t think of a better club than the Bulldogs,” he said.

    “The reigning premier and they have a good young core so I’m really excited to get started.

    “I just wanted to get into the AFL and when I heard the Bulldogs at pick 49 (I was hopeful) because they were a club I’d been talking to a bit.”

    SANFL talent manager Brenton Phillips said Young had a lot of potential which the Bulldogs clearly liked.

    “He played one national (championships) game against Vic Country and he’s a developing young man,” Phillips said.

    “In terms of his football maturity and development he’s still what we classify as a baby so he’s got a fair bit of upside to him.

    “He tested athletically really well at the combine so that’s what the Bulldogs saw in him, so it was a really good story, they’re the ones you like to see get across the line.”

    He might end up 200cm+. He's still very young, I reckon some growth left

    I think Dal on the club's website said he may play forward or back. I wonder if we think he's a swingman type or whether he needs to develop in one position.

    He reminds me a little of Jake Carlisle. 197+ with hands like a vice, and looks capable of playing both ends.

    Let's hope he steers clear of Snapchat though.

    It's what he was doing that was the problem but anyway if he's anything as good as Carlisle then we'll be happy.

    Keen to come to us, seems to be another great young lad with excellent character and by the sounds of it the "go home factor" won't be a problem.(he said touching wood)
