Re: Bulldog Scholarship Players- anyone have any news?

Think you'll find the BDAFL is a lot different now, mate.... of course, it's still not top quality by any means, but all they can do is keep developing and encouraging young talent. There are some quality young players being nurtured up there - Craig Bird, who's a regular starter with the Swans, Jake Roach, Josh Nesbitt, Zac Manley, Matt Bailey and our own two, Jones and Lloyd. If these kids can keep on, it will hopefully inspire the league to build and become stronger.

After a great showing against the Oakleigh Chargers last weekend, Bulldogs scholarship player, Braedon Jones, put in a BOG performance for his Sydney Premier League side, the Balmain Dockers in their first win of the season. He has been in the best 6 in all 3 games he has played.

Wonder if the Dogs are planning to draft or rookie list him at the end of this year. There has been some discussion about possible interest from other AFL clubs... would seem a shame to lose such a potentially great player after putting so much work into getting him to the level he's now at....any thoughts out there?

Not sure if this is the right forum, but one of my young pups plays in a side with a aboriginal lad from Canberra way, and I heard his brother at 14 has a scholarship at Collingwood.
I'm very impressed with the lad who plays with my Pup, he lacks height, but with a light frame runs and chases anybody downand has skills each side of his body.
Can anybody shed some light for me ?

Doggies are looking at a scholarship player in Chapman but the Saints have expressed interest in him also.

For those of you living in NSW, ACT or Queensland they are showing Jones' game tonight as the NSW match of the week. He plays for Balmain.

Braedon is also playing for the RAMS in Melbourne later today, in Round 1 of the U18 nationals - they're playing Queensland. Might be good to get out there and have a look...it's on at Visy Park at midday, I believe...

Yeah I guess it would be a lot better now, Newcastle City were the glamour team of the comp then, I thought it hilarious that West Newcastle could win the comp then fold the next year, eventually merging with Wallsend.
Still the grounds were 3rd rate

BDAFL is a joke of a competition. Braedon was a standout in that comp and he had a very good year in Sydney too.
