    Welcome To The Western Bulldogs Lachlan McNeil

    Lachlan McNeil | WWT Eagles
    9/02/2001 | 182cm | 80kg

    McNeil is another who proved plenty of doubters wrong in 2020 after being overlooked as a top-age draft prospect last year. Since, he slotted straight into Woodville-West Torrens’ League side and became one of the competition’s best young players, adding terrific balance in his play from midfield. He is a handy ball winner who usually contributes neat disposals and can play inside or out.

    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          Watched the 2020 SANFL grand final specifically to watch James Rowe but this was the kid that caught my eye. Should add plenty to our outside run and carry game. For anyone wanting to have a look the game is still available on 7plus.

              He's a touch under 6 foot, what's the comparison?

                  Got a big job ahead of him if he's to make his way to senior level as a midfielder, would be 10-12 well in front of him at this point.

                    Not if he develops as a wingman.

                      Nice hands, I like his one touch marking and the way he sticks a tackle.

                        I wish I was only 182cm. AFL midfields really are the land of the giants these days.

                              I know someone who lists himself as 6 foot and 6 inches - those are 2 separate measurements.
