2025 Draft Watch

[Bulldogs201616]

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

No Oskar Taylor is disappointing does that mean he isn't on our radar?

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.

Hopefully it's Oskar Taylor as the code sports didn't mention him.

Can anyone please shed some light on

Matt Le Ray
Hugo Mikunda

I really rate Mikunda, athletic and a nice kick. He reminds me of Gryan Miers

16. Western Bulldogs - Josh Lindsay
Geelong Falcons/Vic Country
DEF/MID, 183cm

It's clear to see the upside of Lindsay. His ceiling is the best distributor in the competition, blessed with a laser left foot that can pick out targets with speed and accuracy. The rest of his game is a bit of a mystery. Little faith in his maturation into a midfielder means Lindsay is a candidate to slide a touch on draft night, with concerns over his physicality, contested work and defensive application.

In the mix: Lindsay is best available in this phantom but rivals have linked the Dogs to Lachy Dovaston. Another option is Harley Barker, whose size, speed and ball use off a wing pushed him into this range before an ACL rupture cruelled his season. While most clubs suggest Lindsay will be taken ahead of fellow halfback Oskar Taylor, the Ranges defender is another option here with added defensive nous. Josh Lindsay was best on ground for the AFL Academy against Coburg VFL in April.

I wouldn’t be concerned. The journos were just reporting what they have heard. We would have spoken to a lot more players than that.

Hopefully it's Oskar Taylor as the code sports didn't mention him.

For what it's worth, I'd be confident that Oskar Taylor has met with the club.
