2025 Draft Watch

[Willow18]

Yeah that seems like a silly decision haha if he landed at our 2nd pick, then no issues. But we’d just be adding him to JOD & Buss and fixing nothing for next year

[Bulldogs201616]

I don't mind the club reaching a bit for players they rate. This seems a bit of a reach though,.

Especially when there is a good chance we will get him with our second pick.

It's just an opinion of one amateur draft guy. I mean they're almost at an incentive to create a point of difference to highlight they're switched on.

And most tend be overly inclined to address needs (KPD) over best available where you would have to take Lindsay or Taylor I think.

[Mofra]

True footy and Dylan Alexander have us taken Thedgold with our first pick. That's passing up on Josh Lindsay and Oskar Taylor as well.

So the year we have Will Darcy coming to us, after taking Walker at the MSD, we'll take another KPD?

I just don't see the logic.

I have no issues in taken Thedgold but in the second round.

ESPN has us taken Lindsay if that happens I'll be stoked.

[Virgin-Dog]

Geez all these players we’re being linked to are uninspiring. Lindsay is way too outside to have a meaningful impact on our defence. Thredgold with our 1st is a massive reach, especially since we’re getting Darcy. NHH is way too untidy with his field kicking to be anything other than a small forward imo (and do we need to spend yet another 1st on a forward?)

If there’s a slider then great, otherwise I hope we live trade out

It's a good point you raise.
There is also some speculation Croft will be given a run as a defender over the pre-season.

For what it's worth, Walker now looks like more of a forward for next season

[Countrydog5]

A top 20 Draft candidate is having a tour of the club this morning.
I'll give it some thought if I can share his name.

Have you given any further thought about sharing Gary? I note Robey has supposedly met with every team already now. If not a name could you possibly let us know the position?

From an article in Code Sports it seems The Bulldogs have met with

Liam Heatherton
Jacob Farrow
Louis Emmett
Sam Cumming
Josh Lindsay
Archie Ludowyke

and have most likely met

Xavier Taylor
Sam Grlj
Aidan Schubert
Lachy Dovaston
Matt Le Ray
Hugo Mikunda

[doggies ftw]

First footage I’ve seen of Will Darcy and it’s obviously a very very small snippet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYc2RiWCmb4&feature=youtu.be

But few things that stood out - the one grab marking at the highest point, then swing onto the left peg into the corridor. The follow up at ground level after a contest. The arrogant point in the face of the defender he marked over.

Yep he’s a Darcy alright! He’s so so so raw even compared to where Sam was but pretty exciting to think we have another kid with those exact same traits coming through, he only has to get to half of Sam’s current ability to be a weapon for us behind the ball, and I suspect considering Sam’s trajectory and Wills complete inexposure to a high level of football he may just get there.

absolutely laughing if he does and we get another one to stick at the other end of the ground

Thanks Doc, do any of them appeal to you?
It's a wide list of player positions they fulfill, seems likely we are going for best available.

Hey Good Doctor, I can't find this on Code Sports. Would you happen to have a link?

[Jasper]

Can anyone please shed some light on
