Western Bulldogs Development Coach Peter German looks at how each of the Bulldogs listed players fared in Williamstown’s 25-point victory over the Box Hill Hawks on Sunday.

Mark Austin: Aussie played half a game because he received a knock to the head and we didn’t’ want to take any risk with him. He defended well in the first half.

Jack Redpath: Jack is still developing his football. His time in the back half has him starting to show that he is learning more about the game and is starting to play some good footy. We are pleased at the moment with some of the things he is showing out on the field.

Daniel Pearce: Daniel played a bit of wing and half back and was solid in his role. He competed well and his last couple of games have been a lot more productive.

Liam Picken: Liam was good. He played mainly onball and won a lot of the football. Was hard at it – as we’ve come to expect and played his role for the side.

Tom Young: Playing down back, he obviously missed three or four weeks of football, so any player like that we don’t expect them to come in and take the game by storm. He played his role as a defender pretty well and hopefully that game under his belt will do him a world of good.

Tom Campbell: He rucked really well and we were really pleased in the way he used his taps and set up our ground players. It was probably one of his best games certainly in the ruck, giving us a lot of good opportunity to win the clearances.

Jarrad Grant: Jarrad kicked two goals, two behinds, so he could have kicked four goals. He also set up another couple as well so we were pleased with some of his forward line play and some of his ability to defend and pressure as well.

Lukas Markovic: We are obviously trying to see if he can play a bit in the forward line and develop his game there, so he played at both ends of the ground. He shifted down back after Austin went down and gave some good stability down back, because we know how good he is in that role, particularly when he comes back to Williamstown.

Daniel Cross: Crossy was solid again, he did really well with about ten clearances and worked really hard. It was a typical Daniel Cross game, where he covered a lot of ground and gave his teammates a lot of support.

Jason Tutt: It was probably the second week in a row where he showed some really good speed to win the ball and then kicked a nice goal from outside 50 on the run. He probably should have kicked another couple, so we are starting to see some more positive signs from him, getting back to full fitness and being able to use his strengths.

Dylan Addison: Addison played mainly as a forward this week and kicked four goals – he really made the most of his opportunities. He was good in the air and he got a nice crumbing goal as well, so it was a good well-rounded performance and was a key for us to kick our 16 goals for the day.

Development League

Development Coach Chris Maple dissects how each of the Bulldogs listed players performed in the Williamstown development league over the weekend.

Lin Jong: Second game back from injury and he played a mixture of roles onball and in defence. He started finding the footy well and he is progressing well after his leg injury.

Alex Greenwood: Greenwood had another excellent day. He played mainly midfield and had 30+ disposals and used the ball really well.

Fletcher Roberts: Roberts came back from injury and started the game like a house on fire, kicking three goals in the first 15 minutes. He drifted out of the game a little bit but his start was fantastic up forward.

Patrick Veszpremi: Veszpremi played his first game of development footy, which took a little bit of an adjustment for him. He kicked two goals in the last quarter when they were challenged. He really helped the team at a crucial part of the game, so Paddy, with his experience, showed some dash and speed and helped get the team across the line in the end.
