Welcome to the kennel Dominic Bedendo

[Boristown]

Super Bedendo.

 

[Hoges64]

Was more focusing on Dom. He is a player who you'd hope reaches his upside but has little base. His very raw and has alot to learn about positioning, running patterns and general football but hopefully with a few years in the elite system he can put it all together

So he IS a Bulldogs forward.

 

[Mofra]

Copied from Woof:

 

[stefoid]

Only concern is lack of ruck prowess but that can be worked on

since when has that stopped dogs players from playing ruck?

 

[bobs head soup]

I can hear it now, Dominic weaves past 3 defenders to score a spectacular opening goal to the season

Commentator: "How can they sleep while Bedendo's burning".

 

[stefoid]

elite endurance, speed, leap and sticky hands is a good base from which to develop as a forward. He may not make it but his ceiling is a lot higher than Fergus. With late picks, you take the best player from whats left - why narrow your options even further by being choosy?

Bedendo with the bendeeeeeer!

Bedendo with the bendeeeeeer!

Bend it like Bedendo

 

[Glaeken Oracle]

Kid will eke out a 30-35 game career over 7-8 seasons, highlighted by being a member of our 4th premiership, be a finalist in mark of the year, then retire to relative obscurity as a children's entertainer, or circus magician. I don't know if any/all of that will happen, but I won't be surprised if/when any/all of them do.

Will he be DoBe, or DomBed?

All the best, kid. I just want to say "good luck", we're all counting on you.

 

[Mofra]

The first draftee we've ever had to have ABBA write a song about him.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Can you hear the drums, Bedendo?

I bet he’s heard all of these

 

[Yojimbo]

wear the sub vest and come on late to have one touch versus North Melbourne and i got sunburned badly just to round out a wonderful experience .I would love the first eight picks in the rookie draft could do some damage as the clubs left a lot on the table.

With that athletic profile, potential as an Easton Wood

style intercepting defender perhaps

That was exactly my hope after I saw his video.
Comparisons to Howe and then seeing his leap certainly has some tools for that role

 

[Werewolf]

If nothing else, he'll be the first person with that surname to play AFL

 

[Mofra]

As our list is more mature than a couple of years ago at least the kid gets to just develop without expectation.

 

[Pugz89]

BEDENDOOOOO YOU BEAUTY!

 

[Glaeken Oracle]

I heard we've only drafted him as the club is desperate to win a GF sprint. There's an empty space in the museum trophy cabinet, and it is regularly discussed at board meetings. Smorgo and PG quietly made it part of their agenda for years, but closest we've been is Jordan McMahon

Lipinski, Ray and Daniel for the 100m sprint...get the impression the club didn’t exactly prioritise this event.

So far I've seen Benendo and Bendino and we've had him less than 24 hours.

Kid's crying out for a nickname. What's it to be? Bendigo? Bandito? Benito? Benny? (SoB could set a compilation of highlights - or clangers - to the Benny Hill theme)

We also need to wean him off his crush on Bucks and the Pies. If that proves incurable, we offer him as a trade for Fin Macrae. Hell, I'd even throw in Richards if it ices the deal.

Is this a new record for discussing player trades??

I hope so. I don't hold many records.
At least very few that I'm proud of ...

 

[Charlie Bucket]

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Bendigo mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
Dom Bedendo
And his mama cries

Nice hands

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

There was something in the air
Last night....
When he, took flight....
Bedendo...

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought of this.
