“Toby knows that he’s the master there. If he’s playing his best footy, and he’s the best option for us to win games, then he’ll be in that No. 7 jersey – and that’s the same for anyone else in our squad and in our club. If you want to play first grade, be the best player in your position, do your job, and there’s a spot for you there.”

While Ciraldo wouldn’t reveal where he saw Galvin fitting into the team in the short term, he said there were more options than just playing him in the halves.
“He’s got that utility value,” Ciraldo said. “He can play in the halves, he’s played fullback, he’s played back row, he’s played lock through his junior years. He’s just a quality player and a quality person that we think is going to make our team better. That’s why we brought him here.”
The ladder-leading Bulldogs have faced questions about whether they really need Galvin given the club’s dominance this year, but Ciraldo said it was naive to think his team couldn’t be improved.
“I think that’s a pretty short-sighted view,” Ciraldo said. “Our job in this club is to try and get better every day, and we’ve got to make decisions that are in the best interest of the club. Bringing someone of Lachie’s calibre into this team and this club is a decision made in the best interest of this club and the best interest of us getting better.”
