Welcome Welcome to the Bulldogs Jedd Busslinger

[weltschmerz]

Buss was coming from a very long way back this season, his shoulder took a lot of recovery. Showed a lot of promise in the VFL I think, a good decision maker with a great pair of hands. I think he, JOD, and Croft will make a really exciting trio.

But he’s heading to West Coast next year for a swap of 2nd round picks, which has been deemed as fair

fan?

Although I'm getting Jimmy Page/David Crosby vibes too.

 

[CountryDog5]

2 year extension confirmed. Brilliant signing for the club amid rival interest. Can't wait to see what this guy can do with another pre-season or 2 under his belt.

 

[TiAn_]

Happy he’s re-signed for 2.

Win a flag at Footscray this year then have a hug pre-season. Still think he’s only line ball to make it, but hope it’s with us if he does.

 

[RWnBluey]

Good news. Hopefully he will see some senior game time soon.

Reading between the lines would this mean that the Barrass interest has cooled from either party?

The club would be looking at Barrass as the replacement for Liam Jones long term I would think.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

It just reinforces the notion that none of us have any idea what's really going on when it comes to player development.

1st ROUND PICK MUST PLAY!

 

[weltschmerz]

Down the line, Buss, JOD, and Croft would be a fantastic key defensive trio. Between them they’ve got great marking ability, aggression, agility, footy smarts, ball use all covered.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Really stoked with this news - really didn’t want to lose him after just two seasons. Has a big future, there’s some real leadership about him as well.

If that’s all he gets for winning a flag he really is in it just for the love of the game.

Haha I noticed that typo before and decided it should stay

Good decision. only some low life loser pedantic loser would pick it up and comment on it anyway

"He is gone!" ... gone to the newsagents to buy a pen so he can re-sign

 

[Sharpiesadog]

So, most of this board would be on to it…

 

[SPower]

Buck me!!
Stick it up em!

The Dogs are a united and happy family at the kennel.
Personally , Have no idea what has happened behind the scenes, if Bailey has not pissed off our God Marcus and no barrier between them,
PLS SIGN NOW.

[Anja_Nees]

The talk about player discontent has been media driven horseshit, mostly because they thought there was blood in the water with Bevo.

Club knew these re-signings were coming quite a while back.

 

[chop0205]

This guy screams leader to me. I’m very happy with this extension. let’s hope he gets a debut in before the end of the year.

What do we think the chances are of seeing him R1 next year?

 

[King Harold]

What do we think the chances are of seeing him R1 next year?

Very good is my guess.
Think he has a fair more ability than JOD, but a little less mobile.

Ideally in the long run replaces Jones / Lobb.

 

[Mofra]

What do we think the chances are of seeing him R1 next year?

50/50

Jones and Lobb are locks when fit. We do tend to go for mobility with our 3rd.
When (not if) Jones misses games, Buss plays. I think he'll do ok even if he still gets beaten sometimes due to age/experience. He took huge steps this year.

 

[adogsfan5]

Big year next year for him. We can’t afford for him not to come on.

 

[True Dog]

Very good is my guess.
Think he has a fair more ability than JOD, but a little less mobile.

Ideally in the long run replaces Jones / Lobb.

Good take King, I think his reading of the play makes up for any mobility concerns. One on one strength needs a bit of work but another summer in the gym will go a long way.
