Welcome to the Bulldogs Lachlan Smith

[weltschmerz]

Ready to ruck. 19 years old and late to footy, big potential.

I wanna see his birth certificate he looks 29 not 19. Which I like by the way.

Talking about the basketball background might be a cliche these days but you can really see it in his highlights.

Hairy!

 

[Munnez]

Looks a sizeable unit that isn't a liability around the ground. Fits the Bevo mould for a ruck, might be half a chance to see some senior games down the track.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Seen Lachlan Highlights moves well for a big unit

Huh, could have sworn I heard it said that he was 19. Looks a solid decade older too.

 

[doggies ftw]

How on earth was this bloke 17 a month ago

Like the look of him though, a bit Nank like - I love a ruck who moves well & throws his weight around

 

[flipper83]

He actually looks like he might need to lose a bit of weight.
Needs to work on keeping his feet going by the highlights but something to work with.

His highlights on our website shows a lot of mobility. Loves to take on opponents for a guy his size.

Until I saw that vid I was a little worried about his mobility. He moves like Naughton so it's pretty decent.

 

[adogsfan5]

This kids blown me away the most from his highlights. That power and speed is pretty impressive for a big man. Welcome Lachie!

 

[geoffjennings79]

Bit short, isn't he?

English, Lobb and Darcy will tower over this midget.

I mean
He is from gippy

 

[doggy_dog]

Has some Kieren Briggs about him. Very happy with the pick

 

[Foxman98]

Given he only allegedly turned 18 only a month ago you'd think he'd still have a little bit more growth in him!

Looks a very exciting prospect to develop

Much better highlights package. Still think he looks a little heavy.
Loved his recovery for that last goal

And then he stands up

 

[bobs head soup]

Usually when the Pakistanis tour, they produce the most dubious 17-18 year Olds going around, but we might have them covered this summer.

 

[Mofra]

Did he do a pre-season at Essendon last year?
The kid's a monster.

Love the fend offs in the highlights videos.

Probably drops five kilos to get to his playing weight I reckon
