I also heard this on one of the footy shows - said his return to play outlook was unclear. It was also mentioned that Bont was more unlikely than likely for Gather Round.

I thought Bont was looking at the week after gather round.

I thought Bont was looking at the week after gather round.

Bont and the club had mentioned Gather Round as a possibility, but it seems the following week is more likely.

Given the game in question is on Easter Sunday it seems entirely fitting for his return.

Deep Heat Medical Room: Round 4

A quartet of Bulldogs are tracking to be available for Sunday's clash with Fremantle.

Taylor Duryea missed last week’s victory over Carlton, however will train this week to determine his availability.

“Taylor had some general soreness out of the physical game against the Pies in Round 2,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

“He has freshened up over the weekend and we will monitor him throughout the week, but we are expecting him to be putting his hand up for selection.”

After missing multiple weeks due to concussion, Luke Cleary remains a strong chance to feature this weekend.

“Luke Cleary has progressed well in the last seven days following his concussion,” Bell said.

“He is now symptom free and feeling back to his best.”

“He still has some final boxes to tick this week before we can declare him available, but he remains on track to return to playing this weekend.

Anthony Scott and Lachie Jacques haven’t played a game for the Bulldogs in 2025 due to injury, with the pair aiming for a return this weekend.

“Anthony has been building training continuity across the last few weeks after spending some time in a rehab model following his partial kneecap dislocation injury,” Bell said.

“He has been the ultimate professional across the last two months, and if he gets through our main training sessions this week like I expect, I look forward to him pulling on the jumper this weekend.”

“Lachlan Jaques had some minor overload of a bone in his thigh at the back end of our pre-season campaign.”

“We have managed him across the last few weeks, so he missed the Round 1 VFL clash, but we look forward to him representing the red, white and blue in the VFL this Saturday.”

Bont not moving. Another 5 weeks would be tough.

Bont not moving. Another 5 weeks would be tough.

On the plus side JJ has gone from 3-5 last week to 1-2 today.

It’s looking like it’s heading in the right direction. Bont and Cody the massive concerns.

let’s hope that we can hang in and get to the half way mark and be on the positive side of the ledger

[JackCJohnston2000]

The difference between 3 weeks and 5 weeks for Bont is massive. I thought we'd get him back for Gather Round if we were lucky but definitely by the Saints game.

Any longer and it's gonna be a pretty big hill to climb.

Marcus Bontempelli	Calf	6 weeks
Bailey Dale	Quad	Test

Updated: March 4, 2025

Based on this estimate on the 4th of March 6 weeks is the week after Gather round which was about the timing of Bont's return

[Rusty12]

Bont was always going to be slow 6-8 weeks, only reason to skim that is to sell memberships.
I just hope they have not pushed for sooner, and it ends up being 8-10.

Weightmen, may not be a set back. He was already still at least 12 weeks away before the additional surgery.

Our injury reports seem to sometimes be once certain milsestones are met it will drop. So it might stagnate as 3-5 weeks for 3 weeks then drop to 1-2 suddenly.

Basically I don't trust it and neither should you

Cody walked a few laps today with no bracing on his leg.

Is Coffield injured? Saw his not playing in the vfl game. I noticed he left the track early in Tuesday. I didn’t think there was anything wrong at the time.
