Season in short:

A versatile and athletic defender, Cordy was rated a top-30 prospect before draft bidding and slipped through to the fourth round.

After an up and down season with the Geelong Falcons in 2014 due to injury, Cordy ultimately  impressed with his ability to play on both tall and small forwards, and with natural speed and foot skills, Cordy has the potential to become a long-term key defender for the Bulldogs.

What they said:

“Zaine possesses all the right qualities in a defender, he is super competitive, and has the versatility to play on a range of opponents.

“We are extremely pleased to have secured Zaine, having watched him closely over the past three years, as we think he will add a different element to our emerging defensive group.” – Bulldogs Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple.
