Jordan Roughead has been trialled in a number of positions throughout his career with much success. Earmarked as a key member of the back six in 2013, the 22 year old will be seeking to firm his selection in the Bulldogs starting lineup. Roughead has played 35 games since being drafted in 2008 with the Club’s second round selection in the AFL National Draft (pick 31 overall).

In 2012 he showed endeavour in the forward line, demonstrating he has the tools to provide a tall option to kick to – although his conversion rate at times let him down. His foray into the backline later in the year was even more impressive, holding down a key defensive post and providing plenty of rebound out of the back half. Roughead also held his own in the ruck providing a chop out for Will Minson throughout the season.

Emerging ruckman Jordan Roughead continued to build on a solid season in the VFL getting the senior call up on nine occasions in 2011. The 21 year old has the new-look coaching staff excited after impressing over summer and will be keen to stamp himself as a permanent fixture in 2012.
