    Third time lucky as Nick Lower is upbeat about future with the Western Bulldogs

    NEW free-agent signing Nick Lower says he passed up the guarantee of another season at Fremantle for the chance to secure a place on the Western Bulldogs list.

    The former Port Adelaide midfielder said he was shocked when Fremantle coach Ross Lyon delisted him with a year still to run on his contract.

    A relationship with Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney - a former Fremantle development coach - resulted in Lower being invited to Whitten Oval to try his luck alongside other delisted players, including Matthew Bate (Melbourne) and Brent Prismall (Essendon).

    By the time Fremantle offered him another guaranteed season, he was sold on proving himself to Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney.

      I like that he had confidence in his own abilities to give the dogs a shot. A shot that was good for both parties I feel. The more I read and see of Lower, the more I like him.

          Agree with everything you have said.

                          Why was he delisted from Port?

                                      Lower was delisted by Port Adelaide at the end of the 2009 season. After a successful 2010 season for Norwood in the SANFL, where he finished second in the Magarey Medal,[1] he was drafted by Fremantle in the 2011 Rookie Draft.[2]
