He needed arthroscopic surgery on his knee late last year and is in the rehab group. https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/849165/pre-season-injury-update

Corey Preston gets a mention in the training sim article, might be a sign he's the favourite to be picked up. He kicked 2 goals for the losing team.

Sounds like he’s got the most upside. Where’s the article?
Edit: found it.

Yes, I'd be happy for us to give him a shot. The few reports I've read have been good so far.

I would have loved to have watched that game... I'm so bored I've gone to back to the ol' favourite... it's late in the third and Maclean just hit Kennedy late in the air.

I Remember someone posted that the club had interest in him leading up to the draft

 

[Virgin Dog]

From the article:

The 18-year-old small forward is one of four players training with the Bulldogs in the hope of earning a spot on the AFL list.

Preston, Raak, Macpherson, and who else? I know Sam Darcy is training with us, but he's not eligible to be drafted, so who am I missing here?

Anthony Scott.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Anthony Scott.

Oh that's right, had completely forgotten about him, thanks. Figured he was least likely of the lot to get drafted, and wasn't overly keen in the first place. After consecutive years of Gowers and Hayes, we haven't done particularly well drafting from the VFL side. Especially since I struggle to see what Scott offers in our current side. Love the sound of Preston

 

[dergert]

I thought we had 2 open list spots

 

[weltschmerz]

I thought we had 2 open list spots

I think it's just the one with Lloyd's retirement.

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

We do (if we put McLean on the long term injury list). We will keep a spot open for the mid season draft though, which will be much more useful.

 

[Yojimbo]

1 x Open, 1 x B-Rookie. (I think Raak could be a cat-b)

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Any updates on Garcia?

How is he travelling this preseason.

Pencil him in for a regular best 22 once he gets his body right.

Some more problems with his knee, will be another 5+ weeks before they think about putting him back in full training.

I would say that Gowers and Hayes have been above-expectation recruits from the VFL list, given that a typical mature-aged recruit might play 10-15 games average in their career

 

[Yesterday Dog]

In the midfield? Absolutely no chance (no disrespect)

Probably as a small forward. Competing with Cav and Weightman and West.

 

[hatescaptcha]

Really keen on Preston could play some games even as an 18 year old.

Given your interest, do you know much about him? Anything you can tell us?
