Open training

Across the school holiday period, Western Bulldogs members and fans will have the chance to watch the AFL team train.

Sessions on Wednesday 13 April and Wednesday 20 April will be open to the public to attend and watch-on.

This week’s session on 13 April will commence at 9:45am (approx) and run for around an hour in duration. The timing of next week’s session is to be confirmed.

Unfortunately there will be no autograph signing available at these sessions.

Those wishing to attend these training sessions are asked to enter VU Whitten Oval via Barkers Café.

Members and fans will be able to watch training from the seating in the John Gent Stand in front of the coaches boxes.

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 Bulldog Shop and Barkers Café will be open, and memberships will be available for purchase.

Is it unusual for someone who played in the VFL to get the polka dot jersey?

McNeil had it earlier in the season when he kicked 5.

West in for Wallis?

[Hotdog60]

Westy looked more team focused on the weekend and also looked peeved when he handballed close to the square and they got a point.
I got the feeling after he did that he was thinking I should have taken the snap. :)

Was thinking maybe a Libba spell?

Although if it's wet you'd be crazy.

Good to see Cody working hard. He's definitely making progress this year.

For any members in the Brisbane area on Wednesday:

Open training at the GABBA (https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/1158948/open-training-at-the-gabba)

https://i.postimg.cc/VvBtvjtb/Gabba-Open-Training-1920x1080-ART.webp (https://postimages.org/)

The Club is excited to announce Western Bulldog members and supporters will have the opportunity to attend an open training at the GABBA on Wednesday the 29th of June.

Members and supporters will be able to watch the boys train at the GABBA in preparation for our upcoming blockbuster match against the Brisbane Lions the following night.  

Open training will take place between 3.00pm and 4:00pm, with gates opening at 2.30pm.

Members and supporters will be able to enter the ground for free.

The Western Bulldogs Shop will also be on site to give our supporters the opportunity to purchase their Bulldogs merchandise prior to the Thursday night clash.

[bornadog]

Western Bulldogs members and fans will have a chance to watch an AFL open training session at VU Whitten Oval these school holidays on Tuesday 5 July.The training session will start at approximately 9.45am, as part of the Bulldogs’ preparations for their round 17 clash against Sydney.

There will be plenty of fun for the whole family, including face-painting and giveaways, plus an opportunity to have a kick on the field once the session wraps up.

‘The Pack’ - our Club mascots Woofer, Roxie, Butch and Barkly - will be roaming around the concourse too.
The Bulldogs Shop and Barkers Café will be open, and memberships will also be available for purchase.

[GVGjr]

I wonder why they've advertised this so late? A good initiative no doubt but surely a bit more notice so that families could plan it wouldn't be out realms of possibility would it?

Giving the members a weeks notice seems fair to me.

[Mitcha]

In fairness the fact that our club play interstate BOTH weeks of the Victorian school holidays means only a small window exists for the open training session to be held in between flights in and out of the state and recovery sessions that may had to be worked around specific timelines.

I agree with that but the communication went out Sunday which doesn't give a lot of time for the families to work with.

I think as you say they were trying to maybe give some exclusivity to the coterie people which took time to manage.
Left them with barely any to communicate to the other members.

It will probably be well supported but I see it as another missed opportunity to get things right.
At the end of the year they'll tick off a check list and say these are all the events we offered our supporters and it will look impressive.

Yep, we are in the middle of mid year performance reviews. A lot of box ticking going on for sure.

A good turn up (of kids) this morning but already 10 mins past advertised start time and no show….frustrating for kids and adults alike!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

A good turn up (of kids) this morning but already 10 mins past advertised start time and no show….frustrating for kids and adults alike!

Hmmm. similar to our experience last week in Brisbane where they were over 40 minutes late on the track.
Just because it's free, doesn't mean the club can just ignore how important people's time is. If you say its going to start and finish at a particular time, and you've invited people to attend, just bloody stick to it.

[Smads57]

It’s now gone 25 mins past the advertised start time and still no sign of players…

[Mantis]

It’s now gone 25 mins past the advertised start time and still no sign of players…

They did say approximately 9.45am. :rolleyes:

It seems everything is a chore for the club at present.

[MrMahatma]

Well the team often doesn’t show up until the 2nd qtr so you gotta assume they’re gonna be 30 or so min late!

[GVGjr]

They did say approximately 9.45am. :rolleyes:

I think 15 minutes is a reasonable delay but beyond that it's harder to defend but I'm there will be a plausible reason provided.

[Happy Days]

I think Bevo did a presser around 10 so assuming that's what it was. Which would be yet another own goal but no one said explanations have to be satisfactory.

Some notes from the open training session.

Not on the arena were obvious absentees in Daniel and Wallis while Duyrea was getting treatment on the sidelines.

Arthur Jones didn't train at all - just some run thrus on the Hawkins wing.

Also, after doing the warm up exercises and basic kicking drills, Roarke Smith, Charlie Parker and Anthony Scott joined Jones on the Hawkins wing completing run-thrus.

Pluses were Ed Richards and Tim English completing all drills.

Also completing all drills were VDM, Martin and Josh Bruce. Hannan also completed all drills (no ill affects from VFL game it seems).

Although a late start to the session, it certainly went for much longer than some of the recent open training sessions, so that was pleasing.

https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/1207327/bulldogs-to-host-finals-open-training

It was either an inconvenience now or at the start of next season.


“We are working with tight, detailed plans and timelines for the redevelopment project, and a key consideration for us is allowing the new VU Whitten Oval turf to be ready as soon as possible next year, including for the AFL team to train on ahead of the 2023 season,” said Bulldogs CEO Ameet Bains.

“This means we need to start these works immediately in order to meet those timelines.

“If we wait any longer, we face the risk of the process dragging out, which will greatly impact the ability for our programs to utilise the oval during the 2023 season.

Went past today the ground is totally dug up. Bailey Smith wasn’t at training today

[Smads57]

Open training earlier today - some points I noted:

- Around 250-300 supporters at the ground which was in pristine condition. Rain mostly held off - just a light sprinkle. The session started on time (9.30 am) and was still going when I left at 11.30 am when players were completing drills in playing positions.
- Bailey Smith and Arthur Jones not present (and Wallis)
- Running boundary were Crozier, Bedendo and Parker (but they did join non contact drills early in the session) and after most of the session complete, Butler also started completing run thrus rather than continue with the contact drills.
- Darcy trained with the forward group when players were split up into potential game positions
- JJ and BONT both trained for the full session and didn't miss a beat
- Personal opinion - Gardner has improved his kicking
- Regular AFL players whom impressed - Treloar, Dunks, Richards, Daniel, Duryea, Hunter, Dale, Marra and Bont
- Non regular players whom impressed - Buku,McLean, Keath and McComb (need to be honest here)
- There was about a 20-25 minute game simulation with black singlets vs orange singlets. The black singlets had all the recent regular AFL players except for Bont, Treloar and Williams who joined the orange brigade. Notable inclusions in the black team were McLean, and Keath plus VDM and Cordy (whom some Woofers believe may be omitted from next week's team).
- The orange team had Bruce and Schache, so I am going out on a limb and suggest at this stage at least, they will not be playing against Freo whereas Keath, Cordy, McLean and VDM are favored to be in. NB - McComb, Scott, JJ, Hannan, Garcia, TOB and West also played for the orange team so also likely not being considered for main team selection (at this stage).
- in the 20-25 min simulation I don't think Schache touched the ball....while Bruce crashed packs but that was all (sound familiar?)
- Bevo held up the start of the match simulation by about 4-5 mins talking exclusively to the Black singlet team.

Teams:
Black singlets - 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 23, 31, 33, 35, 37, 42, 43, 44
Orange singlets - 1, 4, 8, 13 ,14, 17, 18, 22, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41
Not playing - 9, 25, 26
Absent - 6, 32

I am sure there would have been other Woofers at the ground who might like to add/subtract from the above.

[josie]

Excellent summary Smads. I thought about going and decided against it when I thought of navigating city traffic to Pt Mlb so close to morning peak. Much appreciated. Glad to hear Bedendo trained as have not heard anything about him for a while-did not play in last few vfl matches and yet not listed as injured. Really think Bedendo and Cleary have bright afl futures, hopefully with us!

Was listed on the injury report at the start of last week with a 1-2 week knee injury.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Thanks Smads. Really value your reports.

Gardy's kicking no longer gets me nervy in games. Quite penetrating too.
Can't see Brucey getting making the cut.

Not sure if many on here have Instagram, but Live story on the WB has some great footage.

The bit that caught my eye was of Sam Darcy… he takes a nice mark after a contest with Cordy, everyone does that so that’s far from impressive… but the left foot kick that followed was *!*!*!*!ing ridiculous. And he’s a growing 209cm?? Good luck defending him!
