AFLW SQUAD | Round 6



The Western Bulldogs will debut another player from their 2019 draft class this weekend, with Nell Morris-Dalton named to face Fremantle.

The former Northern Knight premiership player was taken with the Bulldogs’ second selection in the draft last year, and has been named at full-forward in a 23-player squad for Sunday’s clash at VU Whitten Oval.

Morris-Dalton had a major impact in the 2019 NAB League Girls’ finals campaign, slotting seven goals from two matches to earn herself a spot in the 2019 Team of the Year.

Nicole Callinan and Britney Gutknecht have been added to an extended interchange, while Hannah Scott has been omitted.

The squad of 23 will be narrowed down to a team of 21 at 4pm on Friday.

Ellyse Gamble, who was a late withdrawal last week with a quad injury, will miss again.

The Bulldogs enter the meeting off the back of a 32-point loss to Collingwood away, while Fremantle is undefeated this season.

It will also be the Dogs’ first game back home at VU Whitten Oval since Round 3.

The match will be televised live on Fox Footy from 1pm, with the first bounce at 1.10pm this Sunday.

Please note the pre-game HIIT workout, Fan Zone and Gage Roads Garden Bar will not go ahead this weekend. We apologise for any inconveniences caused and thank you for your understanding.

Due to the West Footscray Festival, Barkly Street will be closed both directions between Market St and Russell St from 7am to 9pm on Sunday March 15th. The event runs from 11am to 4pm and is free. Plan your journey to the game at ptv.vic.gov.au.

Freo will be hard to beat, but you never know

[Hotdog60]

I don't have much faith in this one but being it's on home turf might make a difference.
Interesting that Scott has been dropped and may be Burke has lost patience with her and some of the tough stuff that produces poor results for us with silly free kicks.
But in her defense some of those she has been hard done by.
It will be nice to pinch a win against some good opposition to give some confidence for the rest of the season.

Freo will be hard to beat, but you never know

Freo have been going well, but only fell over the line against St Kilda in their only match outside of Perth.

The record of interstate travellers is actually poor. Might be worth a small investment particular at 15 points in.

Dogs leading 12=8 at qtr time. We did have the wind in that quarter and Freo got their goal in the final seconds.
We lost key defender Spark and goal sneak Lockland before the game so we've got a fairly young side.
Must say we probably played our best quarter for the season. A lot of drive from 1st & 2nd year players. Brown, Huntington, Newton and first gamer Morris-Dalton all look dangerous. And i love the way McLeod plays.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

And the Irish girl Heron looks very good.

Watching this with no crowd is so surreal

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Fantastic goal against the wind by blackburn!

*****Game is on afl website*******

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Fantastic effort by the girls to be only 2 points down at half time.
We are definitely playing with more poise. It's like Burke's game plan is beginning to click.
Huntington killing it at half back. Reminiscent of the way Chris Grant used to play.
Would love to be down at the ground. Maybe i could slip on my bulldogs polo and pretend i'm on the coaching panel. Security could surely be bribed.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Wonderful snap from McLeod!

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Berry snaps - goal.

That's 3 goals to nil in 6 minutes.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

dogs by 4 at 3 qtr time. Could this be the biggest upset since we knocked off Hawthorn at Princes Park in '83???

[bornadog]

Need to not panic and hold our head and not make mistakes. Freo got back into the game that quarter and will be coming hard.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

A snap by the American Marshall and we're back in front!
