Which 2 on 1 was that? He’s been a shadow of himself since the grand final, if losing him means we keep all the guns out of contract in 2025 so be it.

Speaking of which West Coast being so s**t surely helps us retain Tim next year.

Could see them come for English with a monster contract though to replace NicNat.

Unless he wants to go back to Perth or they offer him 2 million a year I can't see him wasting his prime years there, Their list is about to fall off a cliff and become uncompetitive garbage

I'm still firmly of the belief that English doesn't know where he'll be in 2 years time, hence the shorter contract. His partner moves all around the country for netball and the pair likely haven't locked down a long term destination.

Sorry vs WCE - Bulldogs Media | Western Bulldogs

I doubt he’s on big money, sort of guy you want on average money in your bottom 6 that can play multiple roles. Agree he hasn’t been the same but hoping he gets back to his best

Yes that was super impressive.

I'm all for supporting your significant other but I would think they would settle down short term wherever they decide Tim will be playing football. Side note I always wondered why Kim Ravaillion never went to play for the Vixens post her return to competitive sport if Collingwood was out of the picture post Treloar saga. Surely a player of her calibre could dictate where she wanted to play?

This one has always been a little confusing. My thoughts are that it has more to do with lifestyle and where she wants to live rather than the netball situation. Given that Treloar has supposedly struggled with the situation at times, you'd think it was only going to be a short term move rather than long term.

Credit to Treloar though, it hasn't seemed to affect his football and is performing at a high level. It would be very difficult being away from a young daughter for significant periods of time, you don't get that back.

If I can recall correctly, it is where she played her netball prior to having Georgie and so wanted to go back to same club? Could be wrong though.

Yes she did start off with the firebirds

Will always tip my hat to him, being away from your wife/partner/GF and young kid is super tough. I couldn't do it.

We’ve signed Simon O’Donnell’s 21 year old son James as a Cat B rookie.

Been playing cricket at Essendon. 197cm.

Son of SOD: Dual-sport young gun signs for Western Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs have signed James O’Donnell, the son of former Australian cricketer Simon O’Donnell, as a convert from cricket.

[Doggies7]

Can't find much info on him, anyone know what type of player he has? Imagine he's pretty raw.

So is this our last list spot then and no midseason draft pick? Or different as it's Cat B?

Would be Cat B. Still have a spot

Huh.

 

[Bald]

Same situation as Blicavs and Cox (Collingwood) as Doggy has said - Cat B.

Been training with our VFL side since at least Feb.

Wot? We never sign these types

 

[weltschmerz]

Welcome to the Dogs, James.

 

[ScragCity]

Just what we need, a bit of height

 

[_Cerberus_]

What position does he play?

 

[Bulldogs85]

What position does he play?

Hopefully he plays in the backline

 

[Struggle]

Did the play TAC or anything? Or is he a very very long term prospect?

 

[weltschmerz]

What position does he play?

O’Donnell, 21, had a late growth spurt at 18-19 years of age, according to club sources, and is 197 centimetres - making him a potential key-position prospect, although the Bulldogs are open-minded about what positions he might fill. He had been a midfield-sized player when he last played the game.

The Bulldogs’ expectation is that he could start playing in defence, where it is easier to learn the game. He has not played football since his latter school days.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Yeah I was hoping the same. Imagine another tall forward
