How The Bulldogs Beat the AFL Draft 

These Videos are so good and they dont get the attention they deserve. This is high Quality stuff man. Good job 👍

Bailey Smith is surely another gun that proves the effectiveness of the draft

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Once again smashed it mate, can't get enough of these. Someone needs to sign you for these docos, top quality! ✊🤙

Video essays and AFL, a niche I never thought would exist. Keep up the fantastic work ❤️

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

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. 👏

Mate you're videos are phenomenal for someone who covers this great game. You deserve more recognition

Dale is my uncle, made me smile when you mentioned him

Man your videos are so good I love watching them!

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!

These videos are hidden gems

I look forward to these videos every week

Please do more of these

One of these is gonna hit algorithm and get like half a mil views. Keep up the good work

This is a great video as a dogs fan do these for more teams!

I actual love these videos, quality and good for AFL fans

How don’t you have more subs you’re amazing

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.

Incredible videos mate! You’ll blow up soon enough

love your work mate! High quality videos and extremely underrated! Suggested to do one on the crows adversity and almost success in 2015-2017

I really enjoyed this video being a dogs supporter myself! Thank you for making this! Am keen to hopefully get ourselves Jamarra Ugle-Hagan too!

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

I said before the season the Bulldogs have the best list of any team in the comp.. love it.

I think you've converted me to a doggies fan

great videos. ive been watching all arvo.

Honestly such a good video, keep up the effort!

Great video.. Following on from this video I would also point out that the Doggies have nailed most of their first round picks since 2016. The picks being Tim English, Pat Lipinski, Astro Naught, Ed Richards & Bazlenka all form part of the supporting cast to the established players in the current team.

Man I reckon the swans would be really really shitty that they let josh Dunkley go when they could have brought him in as a father son.

love the vids. You could maybe look into the quote on quote missed glory with the swans throughout 2012 to 2016. Keep up the vids 👍

Mate I’m loving these vids keep it up

keep doing your thing man these videos are awesome!!

Excellent doco, really enjoyed it

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

I'm very dubious when it comes to afl content but mate yours is great

Fantastic video mate although you forgot to mention Jarrod Grant lol

Awesome vid, I went to high school with stringer, glad he's at the bombers now 👌

Love this great video mate now we need another ruck and key defender

Love these videos. Can’t wait to see the one for the saints 2020 premiership season 😂

Great vid bro. Keep up the good work

Please make another video!

From a dogs fan this is quality

Thanks for uploading!

U should do a video on the hawthorn 3 peat? Great video by the way, always keen to watch the videos u make 💪🏻

So Glad Carlton now has Nick Austin he's going to do what SOS couldn't.

Great video man

Awesome stuff mate, would love a video on the 2017 crows

Any chance you do a north Melbourne one from 2008-2009ish to 2014 and 2015 where we made back to back prelims

Do one on the tigs and the dimmasty

Great vid

Fantastic video.

Fantastic video

I love your videos, they are so good

can you plz do how the eagles won the 2018 premiership since many people doubted them before the season

Another top quality video

Hello western bulldogs recruiter Sam Power - we need to aquire Shane savage who we can drop back into defence and give Matt Suckling a lifeline. You done a fantastic job during the trade period however if you can bring savage in and give Suckling that lifeline we will finish top four 2021 and in my opinion have a massive chance at our third premiership 🏉

Can you do a video on geelongs golden era 2007-2011 or the 2011 cats thumping of the dees and the downfall of melbourne

This is Essendons Failure in the draft. We are so poor at selecting players on skill and ability, we end up getting players who aren’t what we lack but what we already have of. Instead, when it comes to trading, we recruit some of the best players but still miss the ideology of the pure needs for a side. The smallest midfield group in the league as of 2020, Essendon have to study much like the Dogs have here and hope they can pave a path back to success.

This. Is. Amazing.

possible good draft pick ups after 2016 19 english 28 lipinski 2017 9 naughton 16 richards 2018 7 bailey smith 37 vandermeer 2019 15 weightman 62 garcia 2020 1 jamarra

you shoud make a vidoe about the brisbane lions rise fall and rise again

Nice one, Jages. I probably should have watched this sooner but hey

Really want to see a saints rebuild from their finals stints in 09-11 to semi finals in 20.

Please make a Richmond video!!

Dodgey father son rule? It’s one of the best rules in any sport and adds an extra element to conventional scouting and drafting routes.

You should talk about how the Adelaide training camp affected them

Hey can u do one on Fremantle When they finished top on the ladder and made the GF they also had nearly all draft picks in their team

Naturally everyone picks dudds every now and again. Take Adrian doddorro for example, he absolutely sucks at high picks but he can pulls some absolute gems out of the lower tiers of the draft like AMT, Jordan Ridley and Orazio Fantasia.

great video

Love the videos (:

and theyre gonna do it again this year with the new Jamarra Ugle-Hagan who is expected to be number 1 pick but is already linked to the bulldogs

Still doing It today

where is this guy? i need him

RECRUITER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN ANY CLUB. DOGGIES GET IT RIGHT.

Brilliant.

looking back now... bailey smith, aaron norton... spell the wishes...

another quality video lad

needed a photo of crameri when talking about bad decisions when bringing people in to go with travis c

Are you sunnyV2?

Swans have had some quality picks as well

Ayo this guy sounds like that RU-vidr sunnyV2

that was nice man gj ty

Nothing about the 60 - 70 odd more free kicks than any other team in the AFL?

Brisbane lions winning the trade period for next video

Just subbed

Good video mate, done some good research. Up the hawks 🤙

This is a really well made video, the Bulldogs have had some good picks just like any club. We have to be careful in revisionist history because we all know the Dogs fluked that flag and won before their time. It was a really even top 8 but the Dogs weren't the best, they just played the best on the day

Top video

Sorry no offence but Hawthorn and Richmond are number one when it come to drafting and trading. With Hawthorn next core all ready coming through in Day, Worpel and Mitchell Lewis all lower than pick 13 with Worpel and Lewis pick 45 and pick 76 somehow and James Cousins pick 46 in the rookie draft like how? That being said the Bulldogs have put together a brilliant team but I think just not as good as Hawthorn and Richmond especially based of the fact that they haven’t done anything really since then

This is legendary

didn't mention Macrae :(

what a fkn club

aaaaaaaand they're out

Do a video on the GWS journey to the 2019 grannie
