Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
30 games at the Bulldogs, but has made a real impact on the ground. An important member of our defense is quickly becoming one of my favorites with his high marking and booming left foot.
Well done Hayden, keep it going.

His highlights in 30 games would be spectacular. Very good pick-up for us.

I have eaten humble pie every week since he played about game 10. I am ashamed to say I posted that “he wasn’t much chop”or words to that effect. He has been terrific for quite a while now. I am happy he has proved me wrong. Excellent player.

One of those players that when he is going for the ball you feel confident he will get it or halve it. A great interceptor too.

Well done Hayden! He has been a great acquisition for our team. Went to a school near my old school but about 4 year behind me.

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
What a great player he has become. Very underrated and he just goes about his business. Was a bit shaky when he came over but has been more than just a decent player for us. Good times ahead I have no doubt.
Congrats on the hundy!!
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Congrats Crozier. Been great for us. Looking forward to a few big speccies and some mighty high jumps and ball punches. Extremely athletic and a great mark. Love the way he backs himself in a contest.

Quickly becoming my favourite player to watch.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
He was picked up with a third rounder 12 months after a flag, and is to me our best defender in just 30 games since then. Which is a great effort. Quick, hard, covers heaps of ground, great in the air, tackles too. In a time where we need players to ‘act’, ‘lead’ & ‘do’ by example and not just talk or rely on past reputations, I’m stoked he’s doing it so consistently.

Love his closing speed, very valuable player

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
What a great pick up! First 10 games we were all saying 'what a spud!', but since he's felt comfortable in the team & he's gained confidence he's turned into an awesome player & one of the first picked every week. Tip my cap to the recruiting team for seeing something there.
Sneaky chance to make the AA squad of 40?

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
Took a little while to settle into playing in our backline but hasn’t taken a backward step since midway through last year.
Has become an outstanding player for us and a crucial part of our backline.
Those early marks last week helped set the tone for match.

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
Well done 'H' - he is one of the regular AFL players to attend VFL games to encourage the players in the 'twos'
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: Congratulations Hayden Crozier - 100 Games
I can see Crozier stepping into a leadership role in the future. He has bought into the club in a big way, evidenced not only in his onfield deneanour, but also by his offseason training trip overseas with Bont & Dunks to the USA.
I've rapidly turned 180 degrees from my original assessment of his sogning. I thought he was an average acquisition; he's proven instead to be a very astute targeted get by the club.
Look forward to him notching up a further 100 games with us. Well done Hayden, and well done Bulldogs recruiters.
