    Re: Welcome Dominic Bedendo to the Western Bulldogs

    Like this pick a lot. Shoot for the stars and see how it goes at this range.

    Athletic, good size, medium forward who we could groom as a defender. With his pace and size, could also spend time in the middle. Someone delete that actually before Bevo sees...

    I think we should give him #64.

    Re: Welcome Dominic Bedendo to the Western Bulldogs

    His leap definitely surprised his opponents a bit in that clip, like he got an extra few centimetres even when jumping on the lead.

    You can definitely see the Howe comparisons (he started as a forward at the Dees didn't he?), and Wood. We would have a fair bit of firepower in the air if Naughton, JUH and Bedendo all develop into best 22 forwards!

    And you guys think that I'm crazy because I still haven't given up on my dreams of being drafted even though I'm 56.

    He's the first kid we ever drafted to have ABBA write a hit song about him

    A bloke I worked with who played at Footscray and plays at Myrtleford now, rates him as a great mark and said he will give X factor for sure.
    Also mentioned he is a great kid too

    Re: Welcome Dominic Bedendo to the Western Bulldogs

    Just read an article that mentioned he was JUH’s Vic Country room mate.

    Could also be a bonus Sam Reid/Callan Ward type situation.

    Re: Welcome Dominic Bedendo to the Western Bulldogs

    Nice piece of him up on the website.

    Speaks really well, obviously a hard worker and even from the clips you can see how athletic and rangey he is. Reminds me a bit of Dustin Fletcher with the long limbs.

    Has some serious hops. Getting some Easton Wood vibes.

    From the vid, looks like we were really into him.
