The Western Bulldogs have added their fifth father-son to the senior list, taking defender Zaine Cordy with pick 61 at this morning’s bidding meeting at Etihad Stadium.
A versatile and athletic tall defender, Cordy was rated a top-30 prospect before bidding and slipped through to the fourth round, with the earliest bidder Fremantle placing a bid at pick 51.
Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple said securing Cordy with a fourth round pick was an excellent result for the Club and sets up an exciting trade and draft period.
“To acquire Zaine in the fourth round is a big positive for our Club, as we still hold three picks inside the top 26,” Dalrymple said.
“Zaine possesses all the right qualities in a defender, he is super competitive, and has the versatility to play on a range of opponents.”
“We are extremely pleased to have secured Zaine, having watched him closely over the past three years, as we think he will adds a different element to our emerging defensive group.”
Zaine Cordy joins brother Ayce, Lachie Hunter, Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore as father-son draftees currently on the senior list the Club.
