68. Western Bulldogs (JP)

Dante Visentini (Sandringham/Vic Metro)

Ruckman/forward, 202cm, 93kg

Jordan says: Strong, physical big man who has shown he can play as a key-position forward, Vistentini could develop into the ruckman the Bulldogs need long-term.

49. Western Bulldogs (JP)

Hugh Stagg (Glenelg)

Forward/midfielder, 180cm, 82kg

Jordan says: The Bulldogs have shown interest in the Glenelg under-18 captain, who won the McCallum Tomkins Medal as the competition’s best player. He’s strong and powerful through congestion in the midfield and can win the game off his own boot inside-50, and could fit in nicely alongside the club’s talented talls.

3. Western Bulldogs (JP)

Matching GWS’ bid

Sam Darcy (Oakleigh Chargers)

Key forward/defender, 205cm, 93kg

Jordan says: The Bulldogs will be stoked to land the most-exciting key-position prospect in the draft the second year running. Darcy moves unbelievably well for a 204cm big man and is elite in the air - at either end.

Note: With the 20% father-son discount applied, the Bulldogs need 1787 draft value index points to match the bid. This means they lose picks 23, 43 and 44, and pick 45 slides back to 63.

Re: Herald Sun Mock Draft

One more nugget of information from the Victorian combine

Dante Visentini

Sandringham Dragons

Key forward/ruck, 202cm, 93kg

The Dragons prospect has filled out considerably, adding five kilograms to his frame, and his overhead marking and reach impressed in the marking drills.

Would he be the league's first ever Dante?

On paper it is an investment in the right area's but outside of Stagg it may not help us at all next season not that the National draft is necessarily the time to address some gaps.

Re: Herald Sun Mock Draft

Hard to get enthused about the draft, given our hand is already forced and we'll likely be picking from the scraps towards the end.

That's where the recruiter earn the money. It's an exciting opportunity and this is a draft deep enough to get some value.
