I think we are short of forwards of any description. Our current forwardline is a frankenstiens monster built from part time midfielders and ruckman and ancient geezers. Only Murph has any real claim to being a youngish forward and even he is more of a utility than natural forward.

We have a couple of tall forwards in reserve and thats about it.

Use one of our picks to draft the best available forward of any size please Mr Clayton

Was checking on my daughter's uni course in this morning's Hun and I noticed that Ayce got into Biomedicine at Melbourne Uni, cut off score 0f 95.00. That's what he wanted...

Not a bad effort!

Wow, like 4 of my friends are doing that exact course and at the same uni.

Oh and completely off topic but i got accepted by RMIT to do Logistics and Supply Chain Management (my 1st prerferance), so i am happy about that. I suppose Biomed would have been Acye's 1st preferance as well, good on him!

Congrats KouDogg! I'm heavily involved in the supermarket industry and if you ever want any help getting access to any of the gurus in retail logistics and grocery wholesaling I could introduce you. Just pm me any time.

Ayce Cordy still feels like the skinny kid

THE DAY father-son acquisition Ayce Cordy makes his debut for the Western Bulldogs will be a time to remember for all the club's supporters.

But fans shouldn't get too excited just yet. The 18-year-old beanpole is the first to admit he's a long way from putting his hand up for senior consideration.

"I've struggled a bit early," the young ruckman told westernbulldogs.com.au.

"I'm getting a game in Williamstown firsts, which is a positive."

"But I'm lacking a bit of confidence and it's always going to take awhile to take that step up into senior footy.

"I'm working hard, I'm putting my head down and I'm getting to it and trying to work on all the deficiencies I've got, but I've got a lot of work to do just to keep my spot in Willy firsts."

The highly-touted No.14 draft pick from last season had a shoulder reconstruction last year and arrived at the club with a light 202cm/77kg frame.

He believes the combination of the injury with the fact he's suddenly playing against men that are often 20kg heavier have contributed to his lull in self-belief.

"I hadn't played for six months before this season, so I was always going to be a bit rusty, and with rustiness comes poor performances so I'll just have to be patient," he said.

"I'm not gloving the ball as well as I should. I'm attacking it but then I'm missing things at the crucial times and not quite timing my leads right.

"I've got to be patient and just keep working on what I'm doing. Hopefully it will soon fall into place for me and I'll start putting some games together.

"As of yet, I'm just steady. It's been good fun though and I'm enjoying life down at Williamstown."

Cordy is working with Bulldogs' development coach Chris Maple and Williamstown coach Brad Gotch to overcome his issues, as well as improve his leading and timing.

He has also put on eight kilos since his arrival, although admits he still feels like the "skinny kid" when among his heavier teammates.

Weight-gain aside, the best part about the level-headed youngster's situation is he knows exactly where he needs to improve before he can push for senior selection.

"It's mainly just on game day. I need to start jumping through the ball and getting back to putting my arms up above my head and going for it with a lot of confidence," he said.

"I'm not terrible but I know I have some stuff to work on.

"I'd like to play a senior game, even if it's late in the year.

"I've been told not to worry about it too much, and I haven't been. It doesn't matter what game of footy I play, as long as I go out there and give it my best shot, things will start falling into place."

On Easter Saturday, Cordy played in Williamstown's practice hit-out against the AIS-AFL Academy, from which he was a graduate last year.

He said while it felt strange to be on the "other side" to the emerging squad he was once part of, it gave him a chance to measure just how much he has matured in 12 months.

"It was a little bit weird. As I was running out onto the ground and lining up on my opponent, I noticed he was wearing the same number I wore last year at the AIS," he said.

"It was just another game of footy, but there was déjà vu. It let me see how far I have come, which was good."

Good to see he's put on some weight:thumbsu: only about 15 KG's to go.
