Footscray Bulldogs Practice Matches 2025

[Smads57]

15 mins gone and only score a behind to BH. Backline consists of mainly AFL players so holding up well

[Smads57]

Gardner with ruck duties while Smith resting. BH now 1.2 to Dogs 0.0

Thanks for the updates, how’s Haynes and Buss looking?

[Smads57]

See post 19 - going to be hard for Hynes - his parents are sitting close by.
I’d like to see him get some time in the middle for his sake.

QT BH 1.3 to Dogs 0.0. Dale got a bit of the ball and seemed ok. Did get some boundary attention from trainers but I guess to be expected. Dogs fwd line very short and up against a number of much taller opponents - will be hard day for Hynes to shine. Better players that qtr - Baker (off half back), Buku and Buss along with Dale and Gardy. Smith up against a couple of giants in the ruck.

[Smads57]

Gardy now fwd. Hynes to Dale to Hargreaves for our first score - a behind.

Thanks for the updates. Is Luke Kennedy playing primarily mid?

I find him very hard to pick out at training with no numbers on the back!

[Smads57]

BH get a second, but lovely snap by Hynes gets our first goal.

[Smads57]

Orgill gets our second - as part of the lead up play Hynes involved - he won an important ball.

[Smads57]

Hynes again - great mark under pressure but hit the post shooting for goal.

[Smads57]

15 min gone - Spicer with a classy goal and Dogs lead 3.2 to 2.3 - Baker BOG at present.

Sounds like Hynes is playing pretty well.

[Smads57]

HT Dogs 3.4 to BH 2.5 - pretty scrappy affair. Again backline held pretty firm.

yes - has attended most of the limited CBs so far.

He had a nice 10 mins in that qtr.

About to start 2nd half - a couple of new VFL boys lining up (with a bit of height). JJ and Adz in the coaches box.
