The Footscray Bulldogs have bolstered their 2023 side, with the additions of former AFL-listed Magpies Jay Rantall and Caleb Poulter.
Rantall, 21, represented Collingwood on five occasions before being delisted at the end of 2021.
The former second-round draft pick arrives at the Kennel following a year in the SANFL, where he played a key role in Norwood’s premiership run with an average of 23 disposals, five tackles and three clearances per game.
Poulter, 20, played 11 AFL games in his debut season after being taken with pick 30 in the 2020 National Draft.
Despite bursting onto the scene, he only managed to breakthrough for one senior game the following season due to competition for spots.
Poulter also featured in Saturday’s AFL intraclub match simulation at Mars Stadium, alongside a number of familiar VFL Bulldogs including Lachie Sullivan, Ewan Macpherson and Dan Orgill.
The 2023 VFL playing list will be finalised in the coming weeks, ahead of a round one clash against reigning premiers Casey on Saturday 25 March.
