Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
He was one of the few players in the first two quarters that was busting a gut. We may have found a diamond in the rough.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
I'd back him in to be our preferred CHB next season. Hopefully Busslinger will be ready to come in as well as he & JOD are both good users by foot.Comment

Issued to the RAN in Australia but both the Army and RN in Britain. After the war, Army Disposals (shops that retailed surplus and unused military gear) in Melbourne were full of them so became cheap winter gear in the '50s. Really popular in the '60s among teenagers, not just football supporters, just about every teenage boy had one.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
Yep, JOD gets it. He thinks through the game and makes good decisions both ways.
He’s going to be a 150 game player.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
I have big hopes for JOD. He's got all the tools to become a top player.[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
He's certainly one of the positives to come out of an otherwise disappointing season.
I've mentioned a few times that he really trains like an elite athlete and if he can add a bit more poise and composure to his kicking skills he should be a regular player for us right through 2024 and beyond. There is a bit there to get excited about.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
I actually think he kicks the ball really well under pressure.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: James O'Donnell
Definitely like what I’ve seen so far and given his “game” inexperience, but his otherwise more physical maturity, don’t see why he can’t really lock a best 22 away all next year after a full preseason training in defence.
He’s a good get. And credit to both him and to the club for landing him for free, during a period where we’ve not had much access to draft captial. We may have scored 2 x 10 yr key defenders last year with him and Buslinger. We may look back on that offseason in a few years as being a real game changer.Comment
