Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

Weirdly he's only 4 months younger than our own Lewis Young who is undergoing his third pre-season. A little perspective

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

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

They're also very hard headed in who they draft, going against expectations. Crows fans almost burned down Brownwater stadium when they selected Dangerfield over Ebert, and everyone laughed at Doedee as a first rounder until he actually started playing.

The biggest miss I can think of was pre-listing Ken McGregor as 17 year old instead of a slowish chubby midfielder called Pavlich.

All the best for your first game on Sunday.

Congrats Lachie Young!! Look forward to your debut in RWB. Exciting when a young fella we know little about is called up. Bevo has trust in you, so i do too.

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.

I hope you play many many more Lachlie!

Well done for getting a game so early in the season
I have this romantic pride when a rookie gets a game and hope he becomes a regular
It’s the story of the underdog,
the player that got overlooked ,
it’s the gem we unearthed player in a lesser league,
it’s the steal of the rookie draft , bargain pick ....

All great stories when one of our rookies make it
One , ten , 100 games doesn’t matter .
It’s the journey that they made a game

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

Didn't catch the whole game but Lachie looked like he had AFL qualities. Raw as hell but a lot to develop and work with

[Scorlibo]

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

He sticks tackles! That's a real positive. He was let down a few times by more senior teammates not providing him options with the ball, as well as committing a few skill errors himself. Overall it was a positive debut for him though.

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

How do we think he's tracking?

For mine he clearly has AFL attributes and I love his aerial work.
He seems a kid who spent his junior career as an attacking/rebounding weapon but has adjusted well to the defensive aspects of AFL football.

Still raw as hell - ideally he'd be developing in the VFL - but for a rookie pick we absolutely nailed this one. He's that mid-sized defender who will be so important as hybrid forwards become all the rage in football (De Goey types).

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

I’m happy with the raw product. Easy to see why the club extended him already. He’s like a nice bottle of red. Can drink now, or wait it for it in two years when it’s matured nicely. Both seem ok right now. The games he’s had while Morris has been out will be excellent f9r him. If Morris is back shortly, as expected, plus Young & Khamis trying to get in, he may struggle 5o hold the spot. But it won’t be for lacking of showing afel attributes.

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

His disposal was better today and like the way he is improving each game. Go Youngy!!

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

If he has a tank or can build one that lets him run all day I see a better Hunter. I love his flat kicking that are like bullets.

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

Looks a good decision maker and execution is also good .
Got a bit to work with

Re: Welcome to The Bulldogs Lachie Young

With the senior list now full, what is happening with Lachie?

Has there been an official announcement that he's staying on the rookie list?
