We will play Willy next week.

If there's a Willy in the VFLW comp there needs to be an investigation.

I mentioned previously that the final 6 is a strange system and it means that winning this game is crucial.

Winner of 1 v 2 goes in to the 2nd semi
and loser goes in to the 1st semi, whilst the highest placed winner of 3, 4 and 5 goes in to the 2nd semi.

I guess everyone has seen the posts about sponsorship but we have been sponsoring a player every year but for some reason this year we are way short of the $1500 we need. So if anyone can put in it would be much appreciated

Mua having no idea what the teenagers are saying half the time is very relatable, and I’m a youth worker.

VFLW Team | Qualifying Final

The Bulldogs will take an unchanged line-up into Sunday’s Qualifying Final against Williamstown.

www.westernbulldogs.com.au

The Western Bulldogs will take an unchanged line-up into Sunday’s VFLW Qualifying Final against Williamstown.

The first bounce will be at 2pm at DSV Stadium.

The red, white and blue finished the home-and-away season in second position on the ladder, setting up the top-of-the-table final against minor premier Williamstown.
A win on Sunday would see the Dogs take on the higher-ranked Elimination Final winner, while a loss would see them clash with the lower-ranked Elimination Final winner.

Their opponents in the second week of finals would be one of Box Hill (3rd) or Port Melbourne (6th), and one of North Melbourne (4th) or Essendon (5th).

The match will be live-streamed from 2pm via afl.com.au/vflw for those who can’t make it, with game-day updates also available via @BulldogsW on X (Twitter).

Not the girls day

 

[MYOB]

As I've mentioned previously, the final 6 is a joke.

The team that finished 4th, now gets a double chance, whilst the 2nd place dogs go in to a must win final.

I actually can’t believe thats the finals system lol

New list manager named as Dogs keep ringing the changes

Dan Fisher is the latest addition off the ground as Western Bulldogs hope to head back to top

www.afl.com.au

THE WESTERN Bulldogs have appointed long-time men's recruiter Dan Fisher as their new AFLW list manager.

Fisher has been a highly respected member of the club's men's recruiting team for well over a decade, working in various list management roles.

He started as a recruiting analyst at the Whitten Oval in 2012, before shifting into pro scouting from 2016. Since 2019, he has been formally working as the club's men's list and recruiting officer.
However, Fisher has now joined a new-look Bulldogs AFLW football department, which has undergone major changes over the off-season, led by the hiring of a new football boss and senior coach.

Ex-Melbourne assistant Tamara Hyett replaced Nathan Bourke as the club's senior coach back in February, while the highly credentialed Patrice Berthold was also hired as the club's new head of women's football in March.
It followed a widespread review into the club's men's and women's football programs, which also resulted in the Dogs' inaugural AFLW list and recruiting manager Mick Sandry parting ways with the club back in May.

Sandry had just taken control of last December's AFLW Draft where the Bulldogs had the bulk of the early selections, using four of the first 11 picks and landing Western Jets forward Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner with the prized No.1 choice.

He was also heavily involved in the bombshell 11-club mega deal that occurredon a dramatic final day of the AFLW Trade Period, with the Dogs exchanging six players and six picks as part of the remarkable agreement.
It saw the Bulldogs move Kirsty Lamb, Gabby Newton, Katie Lynch and picks No.22 and 61 to rival clubs, securing Lauren Ahrens, Jasmyn Smith, Analea McKee and picks No.4, 6, 11 and 51 in return.

The club had previously agreed deals for Zimmorlei Farquharson, Ellie Gavalas and Mua Laloifi throughout the same Trade Period, while losing Celine Moody to Carlton.

The Bulldogs, AFLW premiers in 2018, have struggled across recent years and have qualified for the finals only once in the six seasons since. It culminated in last year's last-placed finish and their disappointing 1-9 record.

How have we gone vs both Willy and North this season?

How have we gone vs both Willy and North this season?

1 - 1 v Nth and 0 - 2 v Willy

 

[weltschmerz]

We’ve had a lot of turnover with our tall players, this makes sense
