The Western Bulldogs have finalised their squad ahead of the 2018 VFLW Season opener this weekend at Victoria University Whitten Oval.
The 48-woman squad combines local talent along with Western Bulldogs AFLW listed players, including Katie Brennan (formerly Darebin) and Ellie Blackburn (Melbourne University).
The Bulldogs’ injured AFLW players, while not listed to play, will remain involved in the club’s state level program at training and on match day.
The Bulldogs and Western Spurs have developed a strong relationship in the last three years and in October the Club announced (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2017-10-11/bulldogs-to-field-team-in-vfl-womens-competition) that the Spurs would play under the Western Bulldogs name throughout the 2018 season and beyond, with the team spreading it’s home games between Victoria University Whitten Oval and Henry Turner Oval in Footscray.
The 2018 VFLW season opens on Saturday 5th May at Victoria University Whitten Oval. Click here for the full schedule. (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2017-10-11/bulldogs-to-field-team-in-vfl-womens-competition)

This is totally awesome and I was wondering why it hadn't happened earlier. Seemed illogical to have our players in an adjacent competition and not play for us.

Promising signs that so many of our premiership side want to continue to play with our club with two new Vic clubs coming into the AFLW next year.

O'Connor not one of them but she may be remaining loyal to Darebin and still be keen to play for us at AFLW level next year.

Hawks have their chequebook out and have pinched one of ours. Hopefully she will stay with the AFLW team since the Hawks wont have a team for at least 3 years.

Pay for play: VFLW Hawks are in the money (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-02/pay-for-play-vflw-hawks-to-receive-pay)


HAWTHORN will pay its VFLW players in what it is believed to be a first for the statewide competition which has been bolstered this year by several new teams backed by AFL clubs.


Western Bulldogs AFLW player and former elite cyclist Emma Mackie will captain the Hawks in 2018.

So how many AFLW bulldogs are playing elsewhere in the VFLW?

Probably a lot , I think it's just players wanting to play at the old team that got them where they are , it's s problem that will go as the AFLW grows .
Remember AFLW is only a short summer season, the winter competition they go back to their mates and closer to work/home clubs.
It's not fully professional yet.
We are in a great position though having our own VFLW team early in the growth of the league.

Looking at the above list, the vast majority are with us. For some reason, a lot of them weren't available yesterday.

The Club asked the AFLW players to take 7 weeks off after the Grand Final - should be back next week.
