The AFL has a full-blown crisis on its hands, with a crucial Swan learning his fate as a trio of superstars will miss the start of the season.
Western Bulldogs’ injury crisis has plunged to new depths with captain Marcus Bontempelli set to spend at least the first month of the new season on the sidelines.
Marcus Bontempelli is more than confident he’ll be right for round 1, but without him it was the future of the Bulldogs who shone brightest against Hawthorn.

The injury news keeps getting worse and worse for the Western Bulldogs, with a massive blow dealt to its defensive stocks after key pillar Liam Jones learned the extent of his hamstring strain.
The Western Bulldogs are ‘really hopeful’ star forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will have an impact this year – but, as interim footy boss Sam Power explains, that isn’t the club’s focus right now.

With doubts over Jamarra Ugle-Hagan’s early 2025 season status growing, a mature-age Bulldogs recruit has put himself into the mix for a stunning debut against the Kangaroos.
One of the few people who may understand the pressures around Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is Bulldogs hero Tom Boyd – and he has some specific advice for the fellow No. 1 pick.
No team that calls Marvel Stadium home has made the top four since 2010. JOSH BARNES dives into the alarming numbers, and what’s really behind them.

The Bulldogs were out on the track on Wednesday without Jamarra Ugle-Hagan as Dom Brew continues to push his case for a list spot. JOSH BARNES was at the Kennel.
There’s another delicate problem at hand for one of the Western Bulldogs’ biggest stars. It’s unfortunately a familiar tale for the club, writes JAY CLARK.
