Round, the son of formerBrownlow Medal winnerBarry, was drafted by the Western Bulldogs under thefather–son rule.[1] He was recruited from theCalder Cannons and before that played at Strathmore.[1] Aruckman, he was aged 18 when he made his AFL debut in round three of the1997 AFL season, againstRichmond at theMCG.[2] He could only manage one kick but kept his spot in the side for the following week's fixture againstMelbourne.[2] Round again struggled to have an impact, with just two hit-outs and a solitary kick.[2]
Having been delisted at the end of the season, Round was rookie listed byNorth Melbourne.[3] However, he did not play a senior game and ended up atVictorian Football League (VFL) clubWilliamstown, another of his father's former clubs. In 1999 he won Williamstown's "best and fairest" award but by 2001 was spending a lot of time in the reserves. He performed so well in the 2001 VFL reserves competition that he took home the Todd Medal, as the league's best player.[4]
