Western Bulldogs Family Day -2016

Re: Western Bulldogs Family Day -2016

Adams' was far more concerning.

Let's not overstate things. He was playing in his first competitive hit out for the club in front of the Bulldogs faithful. He would no doubt have been nervous, even a little anxious with his disposal. I got the impression on at least a couple of occasions that he was a little ambitious rather than kicking within his limitations like Morris does and Talia did in his time with the club.

I'm happy to show a bit of faith until we see him play in the NAB challenge.

I dropped by the Whitten Oval last weekend to watch the IntraClub match. Some quick snaps during the game. Was so busy since the weekend and didn't have the time to share.

Super stuff choconmientay - you have a real talent, a lot of really good shots in there. Enjoyed them very much.

Gee Toby Maclean was certainly heavily strapped.

Re: Western Bulldogs Family Day -2016

I was pretty underwhelmed by Adams. He's a stocky unit but I'm convinced we were short sold on his height. He looks like a midfielder and nowhere near the 192/193cm he's listed at. He stood side by side with Dunkley and I think Dunkley had him covered. Can't see him playing on opposition talls.

I run the risk of positioning myself as an Adams apologist here but, in fairness, if you look at his feet compared to Dunkley's in that photo, they are a fair way apart and JD is going to look relatively taller than is actually the case.

Not saying anyone is wrong, just that the photo isn't the best evidence.

Yep, and that's how it looked in person. It was enough to be able to notice from some distance away. Dunkley at 189cm seems about right, Adams at 187cm seems realistic.

He's close enough to be on Marcus' shadow. Added to Greystache's earlier comments, it makes me worry

Back onto Lynch, he must have also impressed the coaching staff as well. In Beveridge's interview on SEN yesterday the hosts brought up Jed Addock and asked will you elevate him right away. During Lukes answer he also mentioned Lynch. So if Lynch continues doing what he's doing I think he will get a senior game or two before the years out.

Re: Western Bulldogs Family Day -2016

I heard Dunkley is actually 192.3cm, not 189cm.

At the start of last year nobody gave Rourke Smith much chance of a debut either. Our MC is certainly brave when it comes to playing the kids.

Wow. That would be a huge growth spurt. JD came to the club in ridiculously developed physical shape also for an 18 year old - his arms have the definition of a guy who's done several AFL preseasons.

Apparently he was off the charts in our character/leadership testing pre-draft also, and Bevo was comparing his attitude, manner to Luke Ball in his interview, so the kid has a lot going for him - now we've just gotta hope he can get a kick and hit a target

Omg not again.

He measured 188.8cm at the draft camp in October, which looks about right.

Adams looks like a chunkier slightly smaller version on Morris out on the field.

Macrae was about that height at draft camp wasn't he? grown 2cm since drafting.
Dunkley could well end up as another 190cm midfielder

Was talking to a mad Dogs fan who went to the scratch match. He knows the players inside out - the one who really impressed him was Brad Lynch. Reckons he sees a lot of Leon Cameron in him, with the rangy build, loping style with surprising acceleration and crisp, penetrating disposal either side.

Went back and had a look at his highlights tape. Gee it's impressive for a Rookie, good pack mark and composed in traffic. Looks a lefty but goals from 50 on the right. Not bad for a 17 year old.

Clearly he's got a way to go and kilo's to put on, but in time he may just prove to be another of Dal's bargains.

Lynch was the standout recruit at the early training session I saw. Natural footballer with a good skill set including marking.
