    This is how you rookie draft.

    Very happy with this one.

    Noticed this on BF. Thought it was to insightful not to share on WOOF. Interview conducted after his GF exploits. The kid is a bit daggy but asks the right questions.

    "Ball use and speed stuff"

    Exactly what we could use in our midfield mix

    Love the speed of Lachie and the way he takes other players on. Still bouncing as they are running after him. Would fit into a wing nicely. Proved he can play well against men. I likey.

    Welcome back Jason Tutt McNeil and Bedendo definitely have traits we lack.

    Its been a great offseason for the list management team well done to them.

    To finish it off, I'd love to see THE BONT sign a 5-year deal before round 1.

    Tutt was one of the biggest deer in the headlights players I've ever seen
    Should have made it based on his skillset
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Tutty will always be able to tell his grandkiddies that he kicked 3 goals with his first 3 kicks in the Afl. They of course will call that BS. But I did I really did......

    That's why VDM got the VFL watchers excited in 2019.

    I think McNeill will be developed with an outside role in mind. God knows outside run and speed will always have a place in football regardless of the prevailing trend.

    Tutt's problem was really with his hands. He just couldn't reliably grab the ball. Concrete hands are not a good trait for a any footballer.

    Re: Welcome To The Western Bulldogs Lachlan McNeil

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Lachlan’s dad Tim (who now has a small winery in the Clare Valley) was a handy footballer in his own right. Was drafted by Melbourne from Norwood but decided not to go. Hit up the link to check out his handy mullet and stache combo.

    Tim McNEIL

    STATISTICS

    Guernsey Number: 20
    Career: 1987 to 1988 & 1991
    NFC Games: 62
    NFC Goals: 68
    Debut: v Port Adelaide (Football Park) 6th March 1987
    Finale: v South Adelaide (Adelaide) 2nd June 1991

    BIO

    Tim McNeil joined Norwood from Lameroo as a 16 year old and played 20 games for the Under 17 team in 1984. The team won the flag, going through the season undefeated. McNeil was selected in the South Australian Teal Cup team which competed in the national carnival in Sydney.

    McNeil played Under 17's and Under 19's in 1985 and was again a member of the SA Teal Cup team. The Under 19's went top and he gained All-Australian selection in the Under 17's carnival in Perth.

    He had another season with the Under 19's in 1986 and the team won the premiership after going through the season undefeated. McNeil kicked 46 goals, despite missing a lot of games because of tendinitis in his hip and back.

    For several seasons, he travelled 200kms every Saturday from his family farm to play for Norwood.

    McNeil made his senior debut in the first round of the 1987 Escort Cup series, after impressing in a pre-season internal trial.

    A dashing wingman/half forward, he had a sensational first year of League football, appearing in all of Norwood's 30 senior games and kicking 39 goals. McNeil was named Norwood's Best First Year Player, and was widely acknowledged as the SANFL's Rookie of the Year.

    Despite being drafted by the Melbourne Football Club at the end of 1987, he chose to stay at the Parade where he had another impressive season in 1988. The speedy, classy wingman made another 26 appearances and reached his 50 game milestone during the year.

    Unfortunately, he then succumbed to injury. Unable to recover from a persistent achilles tendon injury which had first struck late in 1988, McNeil missed the entire 1989 and 1990 seasons.

    He recovered enough to add another six games in 1991, but was never able to recapture his best form.

    McNeil later appeared for Angaston in the Barossa Light and Gawler Football Association.

    A round one bolter? Lachie played well today across a half-forward/wing role in the snippets I saw. He showed good pace, adequate but not elite skills, and decent decision making.

    A decent debut in the RWB, does he make the round 1 side in your eyes?
