Would it be fair to deduce that with Heath and Laurie both named for Casey, and TMac not, that he is the only named emergency travelling to Perth with the AFL squad?

That’s a very deep bulldogs line up. Our injuries will make this a hard match. Still so much to look forward to, but I think we will see vast improvements in 3-5 weeks once jeffo and luker are options again.

That's a very strong bulldogs vfl squad, tomorrow is going to be tough.

Cant wait to see some of our new boys in the flesh for the first time, expect based on the selected sides that Dogs will be far too strong. But its pretty irrelevant the result given the way this league has been chopped up the last few years. Western Oval is only a ten minute walk, so I do like it when we play there!

The VFL season is about to start and I am looking forward to a relaxing day.

Footscray unfurled their 2025 flag and going for their 15th win in a row.

It’s on television and being streamed so my contribution today will be modest?

ricky and amw looking very comfortable down back so far, great broadcast thanks abc

Low scoring start with the Dogs 0.4.4 to 0.2.2 after 12 minutes.

Defence under the pump, AMW, Taylor and Mentha getting amongst the disposals. Team struggling to move the ball forward.

Edit: Berry done some nice things as well.

First goal to the Bulldogs 1.5.11 to 0.2.2.

Luke Cheffers marks and scores the Demons’ first goal.

Bonner and Stanley making poor decisions going inside 50. Dees only looking likely when Laurie and Melksham are moving the ball forward.

Three quick goals to the Bulldogs who are dominating at the moment. They lead by 22 points.

we look seriously outclassed here.

Is the wind a factor?

Paddy Cross goals free kick and goals after the siren.

Footscray with 15 AFL listed players and the reigning premier, are winning at the stoppages.
