News Welcome to the Kennel, pick #50 - Joshua Prudden

[100action]

Was an article in the local paper about Josh, which I scanned, but the file is too big to upload.

His father was in that fatal truck accident near the border the day of the draft, he wasn't killed but the driver he was with was. Strange day for Prudden.

Interesting link to Willie Wheeler. The 2014 VFL side could be calling a few stray Dogs back home.

Josh certainly seems well grounded. Talent is about 50% of making the grade. Hard work and application is about 40% of it. The rest is luck.

Yes that one thanks

Interesting to hear Willie Wheeler will be playing for Williamstown next year, loves the doggies! Would love to pick him up as a rookie, so much determination. His grandfather played for Footscray, so a family connection as well.

Isn't Willie Garry Wheeler's son? Garry played a few games for the dogs as well.

I don't know scooter, not so good on doggie history as some of the wiser heads on BF.

Spoke to a fella today that knew a little about Josh. Reckons if he didn't get OP he may well have been a top ten type pick. He then went on to say he plays like Lenny Hayes. I nearly crapped my pants with excitement.

I know its only a one minute highlight video but i thought it was very impressive, moreso that Hrovats which looked a bit vanilla to me. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Josh play.

It's funny how we all view these highlights videos. I though Macrae's highlights were fairly vanilla and Hrovat's exciting. But I guess we all acknowledge that it's not enough to make an honest judgement on.

Pffffft, Lenny Hayes. We don't need another inside mid!

In all seriousness great to hear he is a good prospect, would be good to see him get a game this year.

New video of Josh on BulldogsTV, seems a well-spoken, intelligent and mature kid. Look forward to seeing him on the park

I seen Macrae's as quite good with so much composure involved. But, at AFL level I can't see him sending a player one way then the other 3-4 times before being locked in a tackle he won't be able to move in. Still looking forward to watching him develop and get bigger

WESTERN Bulldogs legend Scott Wynd has helped fast-track one of the biggest draft smokies on to an AFL list - at his former club.

read the article today with my wife ( She works with josh's Brother's Girl Friend - Apparently the 2 brothers are nothing alike at all ) Very good read i must say. looks like the type of bloke we need to build a great team

 

[DogBites]

Noticed Josh hasn't come completely from nowhere as he was on the radar a couple of years ago at U16 level, being a member of the Vic Country team.

Love that bit where his family thank everyone for Josh's development.
Nice touch

Surely you jest !!!! If he is half the player Lenny Hayes is, I for one could not care if he was a back pocket with no legs.
He would be an absolute champion. Hayes is the best thing StKiljoy have had in 40 years, and by the length of StK Rd.

Sarcasm my friend.

Thank God for that then.

Latest draftees episode featuring Josh Prudden...

 

[stefoid]

Cant wait to see Prudden play for Footscray and I hope gets a bunch of games for the seniors.

Prudden would have to be the most revered player on our list in terms of games played correlating with positive comments in various threads. Yes I also think he'll be a ripper based on his output at VFL senior level in the few chances he was given.

Come on mate I compared him to Lenny Hayes 6 months ago -- is my opinion so poorly considered nobody takes any notice

I dunno, we had Panos winning the Coleman in addition to the three Brownlows and four Norm Smiths.

Considering maddog37 made that post 12 months ago, you probably can't blame him too much for not being able to see 6 months into the future.
