My fav part... “About 10 clubs spoke to me in the lead up, mostly Melbourne clubs, which I was happy about. At the draft combine the Dogs were the last club to see me because apparently they didn’t want other clubs to know they were interested. Normally in the combine interviews clubs will ask who else have you spoken to and the Bulldogs didn’t want anyone else to know.
We getting sneaky, no wonder not much gets out from the club when we're doing stuff like that.
Can't wait to see The BEAST get out on the park. May not be Round 1 but will definitely play a few games next year.

THE AFL’s new-look draft format forced slider Kieran Collins to wait a full hour until his name was called at no. 26.
But strong-bodied Western Bulldogs key defender Collins is a man in a hurry, assured by Luke Beveridge there are spots available as soon as Round 1 next year.
The 194cm key defender developed from a stopper into a commanding intercept marker this year in an outstanding season with the Dandenong Stingrays.
Dogs recruiter Simon Dalrymple described his drop to 26 as the surprise of the night, and Collins wants to make up for lost time.
“It was probably a nervous wait until pick 26 and to hear my name get called out was an unbelievable moment in my life and the dream has come true,’’ he said.
“When I got talking to Luke Beveridge last night he said you are ready to play you will play. He is said if we think you are in our best 22 we will pick you.

Best thing is bev says that, and means it. If you deserve a game you will get one, very refreshing after the macca years.
Unless you are Ayce Cordy who was given multiple games after not showing much. I do love Bevo though.
Who deserved a game and didn't get one in the Macca years?
Seems he was similar to Bev in that he gave almost our whole list a chance and multiple games, even Veszpremi and Howard.

No one in particular springs to mind anymore (I've wiped those years from my memory) but Macca definitely played favourites at the selection table, apart from a few odd calls here and there this year players who deserved a game played more than not.
Sorry mate couldn't disagree more. Whatever you can say about McCartney (and you can say a lot) I think he played his teams on form, often to our detriment.
I can think of one bloke - Matthew Panos. Never really got a chance. Not saying he deserved one, but Macca didnt give him a single opportunity.
If he's the only one, I think that proves my point rather nicely.
