QuoteTHE WESTERN Bulldogs have signed former Port Adelaide and Fremantle midfielder Nick Lower.

a little bit annoying, since the midfield is the only thing the dogs are alright in. Unless he's going to play off halfback again?

like, look at their mids
Boyd, Cooney, Cross, Griffen, Wallis, Liberatre, Clay Smith, Stevens and now Lower on top of that

not even including Hrovat, Stringer, Hunter and Macrae

Surely they had other areas with more urgent addressing :S

Capper · December 03, 2012, 09:09:16 PM

surely Cooney is no longer in the mids and will move forward

He's not a bad player, but the Dogs' have a decent midfield and they don't really need more. They could probably use him in the backline like he was at Port.

Then you have picked up the wrong person - he was terrible as a half back. His best work is an inside mid where he will pick up 20+ touches and 5+tackles a game.

Oh, well I never really followed his career all that closely, all I know is that Port used him as a defender. I guess if he's gonna get stats like that then by all means throw him into the midfield.

Thats why Port delisted him because he was crap as a small defender. We nabbed him and put him in the midfield where he has played his best footy. He is depth for us at the moment and he obviously wanted more opportunities which it looks like the dogs can offer.

Ah okay, I understand now. He did play some very good games for Freo. Hopefully he continues to do the same for the Dogs. :)

Dominating

Might be a sneaky bench option for the SC Draft game. :P

I know, you're in the Supercoach Draft Game but a different league to me. There probably won't be any need to pick him. I was actually looking to get him in The Bench, but he wasn't even in the system. :o
