Thats a real good get for Footscray if true . Cunningham missed 685 days between games of football, missing the entire 2022 season then copping a shoulder injury pre season in 2023, so even though his 27 his body has not been put through much football , a very handy footballer when going .Comment

I like Cunningham when he is fit and able to play. If we get games out of him this year I wouldn't even be surprised to see him as a MSD option for someone (doesn't really fit the AFL list needs as a small half forward, but there is a role for a fit Cunningham at an AFL club).
Just looked it up, yikes - never played over 12 AFL games in a season, over his 9 seasons.Comment

Some Footscray news and some new recruits on the wayComment

Hopefully we can nab a few decent talls for Footscray too. With Marra's status, if Croft were to play in the AFL, we are currently a bit light on for talls especially in the forward half. I remember watching a few games last season when Croft was injured and it was mid sized Bedendo as the key target or resting ruck / Gardener as the focal point.Comment

This is what we have been looking for
Former Coburg and Williamstown onballer Liam Hunt is likely to make a VFL comeback with Footscray Bulldogs.
Hunt left the league after the 2022 season, signing off from Willy. He’s been a dominant player with North Heidelberg, his long-time home club, for the past two seasons.
Hunt won a best and fairest and VFL team-of-the-year honours at Coburg and joined Williamstown in 2019.
His cousin Ethan plays with Footscray and the Hunts are also cousins with Western Bulldogs champion Marcus Bontempelli.
Footscray Bulldogs have added another more mature recruit in Ballarat league top-liner Bailey Medwell, from Sebastopol.
He had 41 disposals, 21 contested possessions and 13 clearances in a match last season.
“He’s a powerful midfielder on the inside but he’s got some really good run on the outside,’’ Sebastopol coach and former North Ballarat player Tony Lockyer told CODE Sports.
“He converts from an inside mid to outside very quickly, bursts from a stoppage and provides some really good run and carry. He’s a very powerful runner. He put on a fair bit of size in the previous few years and he’s got a really good physique.’’
He said Footscray VFL premiership coach Chris Maple recommended Medwell to the club.
The Bulldogs have signed two Western Jets graduates, Xavier Kardachi and Kane Sexton, the son of former leading Port Melbourne forward Danny. Both played senior football last year, Kardachi in Sunshine’s premiership and Sexton with Yarraville Seddon Eagles.
Footscray has also secured former NGA member Riely Collins, an inside midfielder who made his senior debut for Redan last year and was also with the Sandringham Dragons as he attended Caulfield Grammar.
Best and fairest Cooper Craig-Peters, Dan Orgill, Phoenix Spicer, Cameron Owen, Ethan Hunt, Jarrod Gilbee, Josh Kellett, Billy Crofts, Tommy McRae, Tristan Maple, Bailey Young, Diesel Moloney and Chan Hargraves are all returning to the Dogs.
