    Western Bulldogs Family Day -2016

    The Western Bulldogs will once again combine their annual Family Day with an added feature in 2016 – a match simulation between the 2016 playing group.

    After successfully combining the two in 2015, the Club will once again provide fans and members the opportunity to catch the playing group in action in one of their first proper hit outs ahead of the 2016 AFL Premiership Season.

    Gates will open at Victoria University Whitten Oval at 9:00am on Saturday 13 February, with match simulation to commence at approximately 9:30am.

    Families and junior supporters will have access to food and sponsor activations throughout the morning, while player autographs will also be available at the end of proceedings.

    Fans will hear from key Western Bulldogs personnel and coaching staff throughout the day.


    The key confirmed timings for the event are:

    9:00am: Gates Open at Victoria University Whitten Oval.
    9:30am: Match Simulation, with player autograph signing, interviews and presentations to follow.
    2.00pm: Event Concludes


    Event Details

    When: Saturday, 13 February 2016, from 9:00am to 2:00pm

    Venue: Victoria University Whitten Oval, 417 Barkly Street, West Footscray

      Jeez, 9.30am is awfully early for the match simulation. Should be great to watch.

          Probably due to the heat, most years have been extremely hot.

            Good point. Makes sense.

              Has there been any discussion to the length of the game? ie. 4 x fullish qtrs?

              I want to try and take the toddler down for a few autographs post game, but dad would like to see some of the game too.. Obviously wary that he will be a handful so arriving at half time would be ideal.

                Probably just two quarters if you look at it finishes at 2 and they need to get all the family stuff on the ground and have the speeches player intros games for kids etc
                Wouldn't be very long I imagine

                  Was going to go, but the prospect of traipsing across town for that early start is putting me off.

                    I will be there probably in my normal spot at the top of the stairs near the opposition dugout

                      Haven't been to one for several years but we are hanging out to see some footy action.
                      I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                        Decided I'll head down for a look. Will see if I can put together some kind of report.

                          I'll go, because this is how early my circumstances dictate I wake up now. I'll chuck some stuff up too.

                            Will be there with my 3 month old, see how long we last! She has made a few trips to Whitten Oval and seems happy enough. Can't wait to see her reaction to all the nonsense her Dad and mates get up to.

                              Big crowd in, great day for footy. Appears it will be a full length game.
                              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
