      We love our rebounding defenders alright.

          Hopefully any of the new draftees can actually play!

            Just read he did his ACL in his initial draft year. Hope it's all clear for him going forward.

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

                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

                  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

                    Reminds me of Bailey Williams the way he is so upright when he kicks, changes direction nicely and kicks off two steps.

                      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.
                      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                          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.

                            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.
