We love our rebounding defenders alright.

It's been a strong lineage ever since we drafted Jarrad Boumann

Hopefully any of the new draftees can actually play!

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Just read he did his ACL in his initial draft year. Hope it's all clear for him going forward.
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.

With our team watching over him, what could go wrong?

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
His highlights remind me A LOT of first year Andrejs Everitt when he was that skinny half back flanker who looked like he could be anything in the second half of 2007

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Gee this kid looks smooth as well. We have managed an excellent draft. They all look good. And did we get a few extra picks next year as well

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
Reminds me of Bailey Williams the way he is so upright when he kicks, changes direction nicely and kicks off two steps.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
He’s a great size. One I’m keen to see how we develop him and where he spends his first season at VFL level. He’d be an interesting prospect as a second possession midfielder who can handle the heat in tight and run hard outside.

Bad luck is all I can think really. That's all that can go wrong.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young
If you're a rookie prospect you'd want to get to the Bulldogs wouldn't you?
Perhaps the Swans get close to our rookie record but I can't think of other teams you'd want to get to for opportunity/development/games played.

The Crows have done exceptionally well over the past 6 years.
