How The Bulldogs Beat the AFL Draft

Dogs notable picks since flag 2016: pick 19 Tim English pick 28 Patrick Lipinski 2017: pick 9 Aaron Naughton pick 16 Ed Richards 2018: pick 7 Bailey Smith Few other boys I didn't mention but these guys have really made an impact in a short time

[@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760]

Tony YAYYO personally I think Bailey Smith maybe the most overrated player in the league today but I can’t deny he is a good pick

It’s understated how important building a team culture is through the draft is, and the Bulldogs have built a pretty good team culture.

The Bulldogs premiership team photo is one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen in the AFL. Poor Bob Murphy.

[@CarNNNN]

DId the umpires feature in that team photo?

[@chrislampshire6879]

I'm a Collingwood supporter but boy oh boy, that 2016 dogs fairytale will forever be one of the most enjoyable final series I've ever watched.... Almost as good as 2010.😜🏁

[@MrAlvarezMan]

Mate, this video is amazing! As a happy Doggies man, you might have to do another one on us very shortly. Fingers crossed!

[@Flarezap]

These videos are amazing. Would love an episode on Collingwood's 2018 season. It seems they came from nowhere and almost won it all in the end.

[@SilentHotdog28]

With an injury list a mile long too, it would have been a fairy tale had we won, especially since the club was mourning the loss of Travis Varcoe's sister.

[@jetsandbucks9565]

The video on freo must point out the list mistakes made during Ross lyon's tenure not just the winning. Like delisting Menagola without giving him a chance, Handling of Fyfe's injury, Demanding gamestyle that tired the players, contributing to late season losses . For example in 2015 our 11 wins in a row compared to the way we finished the season. Matt De boer's departure. No Depth scouting on Drafts. How Mark Harvey built a perfect list before Ross came. Anthony Morabito and Michael Barlow's injury management. Not playing Ryan Crowley in 2015 preliminary final when he held Sam Mitchell to 12 disposals in the Grand Final.

[@henza3609]

This guy deserves so much more credit. These videos are absolute quality. Love them!

[@steverogers1938]

These are genuinely some of the best on youtube, great stuff!

[@TR-mv7cd]

AND now they have naughton, tim english and BAzlenka to continue this trend. Great vid

[@TomasUjhelyi]

The “coming from 7th” angle is so often overplayed for 2016. That was the tightest 7 in recent history with only one win separating the top 6 and 2 wins separating the top 7. One of the best seasons ever

[@Daniel-cy7qy]

This content is great. Have you considered doing one on the 2012-15 freo dockers under Ross Lyon?

[@ewen94136]

yeah that'd be interesting, how they were so good defensively but never won the flag! could make for an interesting video

[@aidentodd9359]

Your videos are so well made and interesting to watch. Keep it up man!

[@MrPivot522]

Great effort. Worth noting that Dogs didn't just 'go to the draft', they overhauled their entire draft/list management strategy after the arrival of Brendan McCartney. Dalrymple was given a mandate to give character and footballing ability equal consideration when assessing best available talent, prioritising the former when making line calls. The team was also deliberately built for finals with an emphasis on contested football and versatility - no clear strategy existed under Clayton. Picking up Liberatore, Wallis, Hunter and Cordy for cheap as father/son selections didn't hurt, either. There was also a lot of luck. The same team failed to make finals for two years post-Premiership and the Dogs have only had four finals wins in the last decade - all in September 2016.

[@davidkooyman2359]

I just watched the movie Moneyball, imo Western Bulldogs are the Aussie Team equivalent with the draft. Great Video

[@donaldmacisaac8479]

I’d still love a video on Richmond’s rebuild in the 2016 offseason.

[@TheAlphaDingo]

@Soussy not sure if you were trying to troll but that period landed us Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt, Rance, Houli, Grigg, Edwards, Astbury, Grimes, Ellis, Vlastuin, McIntosh. All premiership players now. Just like the Dogs in this video, you need to have sustained draft wins over a long period so you can build up the list. 1-2 good draft years won't necessarily yield success.

[@Chuckakhan]

@Soussy no no clearly the 36 year rebuild haha

[@athan5019]

There's a great doco called Richmond Tigers: The Lost Years which documents 1981-hardwick in particular looking at the manegerial mistakes that held richmond back. Mostly it focuses on the coaches. But definitely an interesting watch especially if you're a younger fan and wanna understand why things are working now for the Tiges, and why nothing was working for a few decades

[@christopherperrella5090]

Loving your mix of impeccable detail and dry wit permeating through these videos. They are what I could only have dreamt of creating as a young obsessed AFL aficionado. 👏

[@daffabuckley4285]

I never actually comment but I really want to say great video! Maybe a constructive criticism would be to also include the players who unfortunately didn't get to play in the grand final but was a reason for their huge success, Bob Murphy, Wallis, Lin Jong just to name a few. They were also taken in the draft and were quite integral in my opinion. Anyways great job fam!

[@jaydencarroll4378]

Great video mate! maybe u should look into doing more videos about the afl draft like a mock draft for the upcoming draft

i think cody weightman is definitely one to watch out for regarding the dogs ability to pick well in the draft. the kid is going to be a STAR

[@bennuballbags2]

We have really built up a serious midfield forward area, Treloar and Smith are dead set awesome scores. Oh then there are the three giants....still need to work on their kicking though then we are invincible! we really have hung onto our players well since 2016, that shows how good the management is. Our selectors are the best on the league

Incredible stuff mate! I would love to see you working with the AFL media one day. Would love to see a video on where you think the bombers went wrong, lack of direction, etc.

[@polmeister.]

Could you make a sequel where you talk about how Geelong beat the draft? Talking about their 2001 and 1999 draft class and how they built a premiership dynasty out of it? Players like Ablett, Bartel, Chapman, Ling, Enright, Corey, Johnson and Kelly come to mind.

[@elijahmcgomery6584]

Great vid bro. Keep up the good work

[@Chuckakhan]

I think the other thing you’ve gotta acknowledge is the players they traded out of the western bulldogs in the lead up to their drought breaking premiership. They traded out Shaun Higgins and Ryan griffin both of whom are absolute guns. Also they changed the rookie list rules, it is only category B rookies who can’t play but rookie listed players currently can play senior games.

You will be doing a video on Ports drafting/recruiting in 5 years from now i hope. The 2018 trade period was an absolute cross roads for us, so much to delve into in that period.

[@scottllewellyn8221]

players drafted in the rookie draft actually can play before they're elevated to the senior list, look at michael gibbons for example. i believe the number of games they can play in a season is capped however.
