Career highlights

Easton Wood (born 4 September 1989) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Attending Geelong Grammar School on a cricket scholarship, Wood came to the attention of Bulldogs recruitment manager Scott Clayton after his performances in school football as a medium-sized running midfielder with a strong leap.[1]

Wood nominated for the 2007 AFL National Draft. He was selected by the Bulldogs with their fourth selection (#43 overall).[2]

Wood made his debut for the Western Bulldogs against the West Coast Eagles at the Etihad Stadium. He had 14 disposals. He went on to play the next week against Brisbane but was not selected for finals matches.

Wood consolidated his position in the team in 2010, being selected for 11 games. He played in the Bulldogs' losing preliminary final against St Kilda and their semi-final win over Sydney.

In 2011 Wood was hampered by a serious ankle injury.[3] He made his return to the team in Round 9 and then missed only two more games for the season.[4]

In 2015, Wood won the Charles Sutton Medal as the club's best and fairest.[5]

Easton's older brother McLeod is an officer in the Australian Army.[6]
