For the second year in a row a Bulldogs player won the Canterbury AFL Best & Fairest award for 2008. Marcus Balchin came to the club this year and had an immediate impact with his physical attack on the ball. Despite his tender years he matched it with his more experienced opponents. His quiet manner & nuggety physical stature and ability to compete with taller opponents saw him catch the eye of the men in orange. Marcus will be taking the field for the Canterbury Under 20 team when Christchurch hosts the NPC in March 2009.
