Player Contract Status

[angelopetraglia]

Interesting looking back at that 2021 Grand Final team. 12 of them didn't play in the last round against Geelong.

Proves it wasn't a real season.

Uncharitable.

What more does a role player who always gave his all have to do to earn your love?

First goal. Beat a few Demons in this passage https://twitter.com/7AFL/status/1441...887596549?s=20

I think that?s the first clip/highlight I?ve watched of that match since the night.

I actually feel a little ill.

Great goal though.

Do it in a real season. That was tongue in cheek...i love Rourke.

Bulldogs wingman signs new deal after mid-season lifeline

MID-SEASON recruit Caleb Poulter has signed a two-year contract extension just three months after earning a second chance at the Western Bulldogs.

The 20-year-old earned a shot in Luke Beveridge's side for the first time in round 16 and held his spot across the final nine games of the season.

Poulter was delisted by Collingwood at the end of 2022 after managing 12 appearances across two seasons.

The South Australian signed with Footscray in the VFL rather than returning home and was rewarded for that decision when the Bulldogs selected him at pick No.10 in June's Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

With Lachie Hunter departing during last year's trade period, Poulter grasped a vacant spot on the wing in the closing stages of the season, producing patches that showed he can play a role in 2024 and beyond.

With his AFL season over, Poulter starred in Footscray's 79-point VFL win over Casey on Saturday, collecting 27 disposals, 15 marks and three goals at Box Hill City Oval.

The Dogs have made two list changes to date with Josh Bruce retiring after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and Mitch Hannan not earning another contract after rupturing his Achilles tendon in August.

I have some concerns on Poulter, but he's deserving of a chance and has some nice attributes. Good luck to him.

[bulldogtragic]

Rookie spot. Minimum wage.

We’ve done plenty worse. Let’s see if he can tidy his game up a bit.

He's got a lot to improve on and for me he doesn't quite read the play that well. On occasions he handballs to when his team are not where they're going to be when the ball arrives causing them to stop and come under more pressure from the opposition.

Lets see how he goes with another full pre-season behind him.

I noticed that as well in a few games his played in the WC game on 2 occasions which I watched live.

I am very positive on him as he got some good basic skills you can work on.
I think with say 5%-10?% improvement he could be a good solid player .

We should be confident that he's been a good selection and that he's got scope to improve but like a lot of youngsters he's got some areas to focus on.

Jury definitely out on this one. Hopefully to be proven wrong but like a lot of supporters just not sure. Has a penetrating left foot but it his decision making that is a great concern. Looks at home in the 2's but when he goes to the next level just not so sure.

Well I thought he did ok considering he joined the seniors late in the season and he had to learn the game plan and the way his team mates play.

He is only 20 years old and played 20 games plus 1 as sub. Let's see how he goes next year after a full preseason with the seniors.

The thing with Poulter, he did miss his teammates but to my naked eye more often than not I thought that is where his teammate should’ve been. He loves to run forward and always have the ball moving forward. He isn’t one for going backwards or sideways.

He certainly didn't go back on Saturday playing on the wing. His opponent kicked 5 goals.
