Big Bulldog Tom Williams Plays In VFL
Williams was a very high draft pick, and at the time the Bulldogs were hoping he would provide the height they needed then, but injuries have stopped Williams from playing for the Bulldogs. It is certainly good news that he is starting the season healthy and he made it through his comeback game in the VFL.
Bulldogs’ fans also had more good news from the VFL with Murphy and Darcy playing another game. Both should be there for round 1. Peter Street also made an appearance, he might need more time in the VFL. It will be interesting to see if the Bulldogs play two ruckmen as well as Darcy in round 1, or if they are happy to start Minson in the ruck and give Darcy an occasional run in the ruck to allow Minson a break.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Something to file away for later in the season, if injuries hit some of their tall defenders like Grant and Wight then Williams may get his chance. As Williams has yet to play in the AFL his fantasy price is still at the lowest level.

There is still plenty of time for Williams, and although he might be started in a key position there is a chance that he could eventually have an onball role.
While this won’t happen this year, there could be a time in the future when the Bulldogs have big Street in the ruck as well as Griffen and Williams in the middle, with maybe Everitt on a wing. That would be a huge lineup.
