Austin elevated to senior list

[Bornadog]

The Western Bulldogs today elevated defender Mark Austin to the senior list ahead of Sunday’s clash against Collingwood.
Replacing Tory Dickson, who has been placed on the long term injury list with a pectoral injury, Austin adds height to the Bulldogs defensive line.
The 25-year-old’s impressive form for Footscray in the VFL resulted in the rookie elevation, as he looks to increase his 33 career games – 18 in Bulldogs colours.
Austin is yet to represent the Bulldogs in the senior side this season, but looked comfortable at the higher level in 2013 as a key defender.

I couldn't wait to get here when I saw this. Hang on a sec, I'm just getting some popcorn and getting comfortable...

More defence, more contests.Stuff stopping the ball getting into the defensive 50, just keep defending. Oh, and not scoring...

'Williams playing in the forward-line' haters better suck this up.

Not quite the dose of hope I was looking for to excite me this week. There's no point upgrading him not to play for the rest of the year, so he needs to.

Funnily enough, I have thought Austin has performed well enough when given his opportunities at senior level.

Wonder if Morris or Roughead is injured?

Re: Austin elevated to senior list

He has been upgraded three years in a row. Surely tghis is his last chance to prove he is an AFL player. He is now 25 years old. Website says 195cm, I thought he was closer to 190 but I must be wrong.

Can we de-elevate players?

I'll piss myself if he's being brought in so Roughy can go forward.

Obviously Talia can't do that?

Serious slap to the kid, Austin and Roberts ahead of him. I hope he handles insult well.

Re: Austin elevated to senior list

I think Aussie has always played well when he has played seniors.It may free Roughy up to play forward /Ruck.

Or we need another tall against the Pies with Cloke and possibly Reid coming in.
