Bigger Is Better For Bulldogs
The Western Bulldogs could not compete with teams last season in the bulk department. They were not just shorter than most teams, the Bulldogs also gave up a lot of kilograms to their opponents. It seems like the Bulldogs are now trying to address that problem.
From the Sunday Herald Sun: Bulldogs beef up for more bite
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Gilbee and Cross will continue to be fantasy stars, but a bit more strength is also a good thing for them. Giansiracusa and Ray could become better fantasy players if they spend more time in the middle of the action, if they are bigger now it could mean they take on more important roles, with more fantasy stats.
McDougall and Wight had the chance last season to grab the centre half back, or even centre half forward, spot but they were not up to it. 7kg would be a large increase for most people, but for Wight he is still too thin. McDougall has occasionally shown that he can be a fantasy player, if he becomes the Bulldogs’ new centre half forward he might be worth a spot on fantasy teams.

The fleet-of-foot but fragile ilk of Daniel Cross, Lindsay Gilbee and Daniel Giansiracusa weigh 3kg more than last year, while Farren Ray, Cameron Wight and Andrew McDougall have each bulked up 7kg.
Eade is especially enthused with new additions Scott Welsh and Ben Hudson, both from Adelaide.
