Nick Coffield has come into the senior Bulldogs side at a time when the tall defender stocks are at somewhat of a low point, with Liam Jones consigned to the VFL and Buku Khamis starting as the substitute in recent weeks. Against some clubs you can get away with one or two established key position defenders and make up the numbers with hybrids like Coffield, but today the Dogs play the Crows who have three genuine tall targets inside 50. The likes of Coffield, Bailey Williams and James O'Donnell will be rushing between spinning plates all afternoon.
