We done well getting Plenty out of Dunn when people said he was done

^ Excellent point. I also underestimated Dunn, but he's been a very good get for us.

What do they mean by "cooked"? Does he have an injury history?

Can play forward, back and ruck.

May have suffered from expectations at the Dogs and never knew what his role was. If we can settle him into a role, will be very handy

I don't believe that TBH. The Bulldogs seems like a pretty unhappy place to be since 2017. At first it was all blamed on one or two bad apples but now that so many players are blowing dodge, you'd have to think there's an issue with the coach or club now that Stringer is no longer the scapegoat.

Say what you will about Buckley's tenure at Collingwood prior to 2018. At least we never had an exodus. That was one positive I took out of our poor form, that the players wanted to stay. Roughead will work out. Wait 'n' see.

I look forward to the depth and options that Roughead (J) will bring,
perhaps in the mold of Leigh Brown?

Just caught the second half of the 2016 GF on fox.

Kinda hard to watch tbh, knowing we come so close 2 years later.

But Roughead was very good from what I saw. Geez, lots of those Dogs players are at different clubs now.

Oh great 2002 GF is on next. Might have to change the channel.

Pretty sure that if everything goes perfectly, Roughhead wont play much for us. Having said that, nothing went right for us the past 5 years, and it would be good to have a Roughhead waiting in the wings to step up if injuries (as they inevitably do) test our depth. I think of him as an upgrade on McLarty (in the sense that he is actually an AFL calibre player).

Yes, not a good fit (historically).

Although I think we kicked straighter this year.
