Would seem to be a decent option for us

Would seem to be a decent option for us

I thought he could be a good player

I am ignorant of the process for recruiting Footscray players other than AFL listed.
Seems like sharking without structure, like the old days.
However I suspect otherwise and hope we succeed.

Not a bad signing at all. He was a promising junior and highly athletic.

Could there be 3 ex Pies at Footscray in 2023? Poulter, Brown and Rantall?

Adding 3 players with senior AFL experience along with what most expect to be some red hot competition for senior spots should hopefully make the VFL team more competitive in 2023.

Just read on Twitter that Adelaide is going to offer Tyler Brown a chance to trial with them now that McAsey has retired.

Hopefully he misses out

It's interesting, AFL.com have said that he had signed with the Footscray vfl program but has left to train with the crows - so we were obviously not in any talks with him about an AFL list spot.

If it doesn't work out for him he will very likely be back at Footscray. Hard to say if we ad much interest in him as a WB player.

We still don't seem to have any players officially training with the AFL squad like most other clubs do. Are we planning on leaving the last spot open for the mid season draft?

Well its off the table as Tyler Brown has signed with Adelaide

He definitely has some attributes and I hope he does well

A bit of Footscray news, most we already know but in case you missed it

https://www.afl.com.au/news/872818/s...cray-frankston

Retired AFL ruckman Stefan Martin will join Stewart Edge’s VFL coaching panel. Martin, who pulled up stumps after 203 AFL games for Melbourne, Brisbane Lions and the Bulldogs, will be an assistant coach of the midfield while also working as a development coach with the AFL squad.

*****


The home of the Bulldogs will look very different by the time footy returns in 2023, with the Whitten Oval undergoing a $77 million redevelopment. The old EJ Whitten Stand has been demolished and will be replaced with a state-of-the-art complex and new grandstand, while the oval is also being rebuilt. The club aims to be back on the field for the start of this season on the last weekend of March, but work will continue throughout 2023.

Former Collingwood pair Caleb Poulter and Jay Rantall are set to be announced as arrivals to Footscray, it has been reported. The pair are training with the Bulldogs and took part in match simulation before Christmas. Poulter played 17 VFL matches for a total of 20, averaging 21.4 disposals and 5.1 marks. Rantall, played six VFL games for the Magpies before being delisted at the end of 2021, spending last year with Norwood, averaging 22.7 disposals and five tackles in 21 SANFL outings. Fellow ex-Magpie Tyler Brown was expected to join them before signing with Adelaide as a delisted free agent last week.

*****

Delisted Bulldog Louis Butler has been linked to North Melbourne's VFL team by Code Sports. Butler, 21, played 14 VFL matches last year (average 21.3 disposals, 5.3 marks) for a total of 21 and one AFL game for a total of four.

*****

Charlie Parker has returned home to SANFL club Sturt after losing his place on the Western Bulldogs’ list. Parker played eight VFL matches in his only year at Whitten Oval, averaging 12.6 disposals.

*****

Young Bulldog Chance Doultree has headed back to the country after five VFL matches across the past two years. Doultree, 20, who played three times for Footscray last season, will line up for Gippsland league club Maffra.

Wasnt there a bit of hype about Rantall a couple of years ago?
