Open training session this Friday (https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/910651)

Ahead of captain Marcus Bontempelli’s milestone match on Saturday against the Gold Coast Suns, Western Bulldogs members and fans are invited to the final training session before the game on Friday morning.

The session will be a short ‘Captain’s Run,’ commencing from 9:45am (approx) and will run for around 30 minutes in duration.*

Due to AFL COVID guidelines, players will unfortunately not be able to sign autographs or have any direct contact with fans.

For members and fans wishing to attend the open training session, they are asked to enter VU Whitten Oval via Barkers Café (opposite EJ Whitten Statue) and sign-in to the venue using the QR code located immediately inside the door.

Fans can then proceed through Barkers Café and access the internal concourse via the glass doors.

Members and fans can watch the training session from the John Gent or EJ Whitten Stand, or the terraces in front of the EJ Whitten Stand as directed by signage.

To enable social distancing from the perimeter fencing of the ground, members and fans will not be able to access the perimeter walkway around the exterior of the oval during the training session.

The Bulldogs Shop and Barkers Café will be trading on Friday morning, for any members and fans looking to purchase from latest range of merchandise, or looking for refreshments.

*Please note times are approximate at time of publication, and are subject to change.

Amongst all the high profile recruits I forget we got Hannan ! Hopefully he can get on the park soon.

It remains to be seen if we would could potentially play all three of Keath, Gardner and Young in the back line but I wonder if we could try Hannan as a 3rd tall defender.
With our 3 tall forwards it's hard to find a spot for Hannan there and we seem to have enough wingers.
Could he be moved back?

Scott and McNeil both played forward/mid at times against Brisbane, so there are 2 spots up for grabs. I think he'll add a point of difference in the forward 50 once he comes in.

Has Hannan got speed? I seem to recall he was fast?

[comrade]

Yeah, he has pace. Just hope the groins haven't taken away his explosive ability.

Well if Wood, Crozier, Williams and Khamis all go down maybe we might need another 3rd tall defender. Think he might be best sticking to his natural position.

I see Cordy more as a third tall than a KPP.

Speaking of fat bastards. Imagine what a DeGoey or Stringer could do if they could just commit to their ongoing fitness to this extent? That’s a shitload of extra sessions year on year. Only question is, does he stay like post retirement or make Darren Jarman look skinny?

Yes going through some on stats from last year I found this.

Top-five most distance covered in a game in 2020
Patrick Lipinski, 13.6km v Adelaide, round 12
Ryan Gardner, 13.5km v Adelaide, round 12
Marcus Bontempelli, 13.4km v Brisbane, round 11
Will Hayes, 13.4km v Geelong, round 14
Lachie Young, 13.1km v Essendon, round 7

Never realized how super fit Ryan was.

To be honest if he can make it from stoppage to stoppage I'd play him.

Absolutely they would. Although there would be personal disappointment for some they seem a tight knit group and ride the wins and losses together. Did you see the reaction of the boys in Tassie when we won last week?

[Axe Man]

We haven't been in Victoria or any Covid hotspot for weeks - why the hell can't we train?

Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge hits out at being denied permission to train in Adelaide (https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-finals-western-bulldogs-coach-luke-beveridge-hits-out-at-being-denied-permission-to-train-in-adelaide/news-story/8d3cfd80d3a9c53fae959c24e9c1cf1a)

The Western Bulldogs are doing their best to laugh off what coach Luke Beveridge called “unreasonable” restrictions imposed on his side by South Australian health officials ahead of Saturday’s preliminary final showdown with Port Adelaide.

Having traversed the country to Perth following last week’s nail biting one-point win over Brisbane at the Gabba, the Bulldogs fly in to Adelaide on Friday afternoon.

But they have been denied the opportunity for any training sessions before the Saturday night match, something they had been afforded in both Brisbane and Launceston before their last two finals.

Instead, a lunchtime walk on Saturday afternoon will be their only chance to leave the team hotel.

Having been tested for Covid 14 times in the past month, and coming from non-Covid hotspots, Beveridge said: “I think we’re negative.”

While acknowledging the pandemic was a serious situation, he said all he and his players could do was laugh at the latest situation that would add “extra motivation” to their cause.

“Usually, what we do is we land and go and have our last training session. The SA health officer hasn’t allowed us to do that today, which isn’t ideal,” Beveridge said on Friday.

“We have almost a three-hour flight and then we are not allowed to stretch our legs and get moving again. We won’t be able to do that until we maybe go for a walk at lunchtime the next day.

“After we get tested again tonight, I think that will be our 14th Covid test in 25 days. I’m pretty sure we are negative. It’s a really strange one for us.

“We just deal with it comically. The pandemic is serious, we know that, but this one is unreasonable, so all you can do is laugh at it. You let that wry grin emerge on your face and have a little bit of a chuckle and move on.”

Beveridge said the extra obstacle was just one more challenge for his team, which defeated Port Adelaide in Melbourne in round 23 before hitting the road for the finals, to overcome.

“It does (steel you), that galvanisation of your people,” he said.

“The word that has been used extremely often is resilience. To get this far in this kind of year you have already established a significant amount of intestinal fortitude from our people, mostly our players.

“It’s just another opportunity to come together and establish that resilience. It’s another angle of motivation and adds to the spice and the lead-in to the game.”

[bulldogtragic]

Again, we can use this. It’s Us vs The World.

The World Can Go *!*!*!*! Itself.

[comrade]

AFL are pig scum for not getting this sorted prior to scheduling the game there.

[Grantysghost]

Crikey what is the deal there?

Koch had a word to Marshall or what.

This unfortunately will not be considered a real season by myself *

*unless we win.

So are we just not going to train now? This is insanity.

[bulldogtragic]

Round 23: SA government doesn’t want Port players near dogs players. So Dogs players have to go into hard quarantine for 4 days.

Week 1: ‘Where do you want to plays dogs?’ Adelaide. ‘Sure, go quarantine in Tassie.’

Week 2: ‘We’d like an earlier game’. ‘No, you get a hallway pass in quarantine’. No change

Week 3: After quarantining in Perth, ‘we’d like to train please’. SA government, ‘no training for you’.


Getting walked over. I’m not sure Peter Gordon would have taken a month of this and not done something.

This is a joke. The SA gov cannot be taken seriously. I wouldn’t listen to a word of their advice. Insanity.

To me, this just makes the asterisk even bigger if Port win it this year. You’re digging your own hole ninkumpoops. This is far from a level playing field. We’ve had to go on a circus trip around the country, live in hotel rooms to rightfully play at your home ground. But then not allowing us to train!!?? GAGF! It’s almost cheating.

Yep, this game should have been in Perth. No question. The AFL should have had the balls to say enough is enough. We’re moving the game.

So were Geelong allowed to train for the last final?

We haven’t played in Melbourne since we played Port themselves!

Yeah, so there's a little thing called conflict of interest and if KWW tried to really run with the Dogs and Marvel link via Thor she'd lose her job. Let's get a bit real about this.

I do agree there needs to be some strong objection in the media, and it should come from either her or our CEO. No question.

The AFL and it's media sycophants will just do what they did last week when they came out and said QLD Health are actually being lenient and allowing us freedom to leave our rooms when it was just a small window where the entire team could have lunch together as a group.

I can't imagine another professional league any where in the world would allow the playing field to be so unbalanced as it the AFL has.

The same group of players will be playing in front of 10s of 1000s tomorrow night, yet can't run around for 30 mins in front of no one. SA is a joke.

[bornadog]

Last time we played Port, we had to quarantine in our own home state. Players were forced to stay either in a hotel or home for 5 days before SA gov allowed them to come over. This is just plain cheating.

Self-made entrepreneurs who built their own wealth are combative and fully supportive of the club over the competition when they need to be. Mega-corporation ladder climbers, who haven't gotten their hands dirty in their career for the best part of 25-30 years, are utterly incapable of getting combative and prioritising the club in such circumstances. No skin in the game whatsoever.

We were absolutely spoilt with our club presidents the last 32 years. Bevo is currently doing all of the heavy lifting that our president and CEO have completely absolved themselves of their basic responsibility.

Well said Sedat.

Is PG refreshed and ready to takeover again!? ;)

In terms of the idiotic SA restrictions, *!*!*!*! the AFL. The game should have been in Perth. Prelims/GF should have been Perth, simple. The fact that the AFL ticks off on us flying from Brisbane to Perth and then Perth to SA is disgraceful, let alone not being able to train on the ground we play on for a PRELIMINARY FINAL. Why didn't the AFEL examine the options and make the easy call?

The absolute grubs in the media won't run with that story / question the AFL because it won't sell enough papers and our President/CEO have no backbone.

I am not convinced crying foul publicly would do anything more than make us look like whingers. And if you've already been told by the AFL that there is nothing that can be done, then all it would do is make it look like we're already of the belief we can't win.
There are times when it pays to be publicly loud... and there are times when you have to keep your powder dry. I think this is a dry-powder time... and if we win.. THEN we make a scene about the injustice.

There are times when it pays to be publicly loud... and there are times when you have to keep your powder dry. I think this is a dry-powder time... and if we win.. THEN we make a scene about the injustice.

That's why you don't leave it to the coach to have to do it. He's the conduit to the players.

A statement from the CEO/ president is highly appropriate, unless they've been asked not to comment by Bevo himself.

How do you know the CEO didn't follow this up?

Apparently we will be able to train tomorrow.

Is this confirmed? Good news if so.

Well said.

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous. I’m getting on the phone to Jackie Chiles.

Just don't put the balm on the Maestro gave you.

Ok all is good. Don’t worry about the training everyone. I negotiated with the SA government. We’ve now got our very own WOOF billboard at Adelaide oval.

Tomorrow? Do we normally 'train' on the morning of the game?

We should have been training today.
