Wasn't that Keenan, not Lincoln?

Yes, I was getting them confused

Lincoln Reynolds was the grandson of Essendons Dick right?

If Morris is the glove, then Lower is the clamp.
Rich didn't touch the footy until almost quarter-time. Even then I think he only got about 8 or so touches by the end of the game. Granted he did get a goal, but super effort Nick.

and he had to do it in a split second as Lower was dragging him down! Lower=good trade. He will really make 3 or 4 others have to work very hard to get in ahead of him. No easy recalls from Willi like last year.

What about the anchor? Slowing them down to a stop.
According to a mate, Picken is the padlock.

Hopefully we see more of Picken's attacking and run and carry, as a result of Mr 'Anchor' ( nice one GVGjr) . Pickers is not the biggest bloke, and always struggled to contain some of the taller mids, despite his best efforts. Lower on the other hand has the kg and height.

Loved the way Nick took on Maloney, who is the King of all sleeve tattoo wearing spuds. Still wears a Melbourne jumper in my mind. Idiot.

Great pick up by the recruiting staff

Yes Bad. No draft pick needed or trade. Got him as a delisted Free Agent. Great pick up.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs Nick Lower!

Was terrific on Saturday. Really like Lower and waht he brings to the side.

And as much as I don't really get into the push and shove nonsense after there's been an incident like Gia/Handley - Lower was straight in there looking after his younger team mates and went straight for Moloney - who thinks of himself as a tough guy.

We've always lacked players with a bit of standover pressence. It was only ever Will or Hargrave but they were usually the ones starting something, not flying the flag.

Lower looks like a great team player and a perfect mid aged recruit.

Really agree Cyberdoggie

This has been something I think we have lacked for a while. Under Eade it was fine because we usually got on with the game at hand and typically won. That's all good but IMO when opposition do hit our players beyond the acceptable level then they should know about it.

Really noticed that Lower was in there and liked that, also Roughead. They dont have to do anything stupid but getting into the oppositions face when they have done the wrong thing really strengthens each players bond to their teammates and the team. Especially important young developing team that other clubs might feel they can bully.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs Nick Lower!

A very Welcome addition and the first thing that caught my eye was Lower and Minson getting involved. Lower for a first game player for our club showed alot of heart and respect for his team mates. As Macca says we need more good people and that is what he means! Players that will stick up for every single team mate and that puts teh team first.

Think he will ve very valuable to our team especially this week against Freeo im tipping us for a 2nd win!

Lower wasnt really pushing and shoving though. I took particular notice of what was going on because Gia had the ball under his arm and was walking to the goaline and I was worried that we might give a free away. But Lower just got into the Brisbanes players faces and sledged like a boss. It was smart play because Maloney punched him in the face and Lower should have got a free kick before the ball was rebounced.

Couldn't believe the umpire did nothing about that jab to the throat, he was standing right there.

The only thing I can think of is Lower laughed at Maloney so maybe the umpire thought there wasnt anything in it. Even a couple of Brisbane supporters sitting near me thought that Lower was sure to get a free.

I thought it happened before Gia kicked which I assume would have meant only another 50m which would be pointless considering he was on the goal line already. Could be wrong though.
Great work by Lower all up, led by example with some great blocking and sheperding.
