New Pups on the block
Our newest recruits wasted no time getting settled into the Kennel, all reporting for duty at Mission Whitten Oval for the first time together.
All five players from the Club's 2024 National Draft class were recruited from Victoria; the last time this occurred was in 2020.

Hit the ground running
The first session of pre-season featured the traditional 2km time trial, with wet and windy Melbourne conditions only adding to the challenge.
Sophomore Bulldog Joel Friejah crossed the finish line first, with Lachie McNeil and Jordan Croft rounding out the podium.
Arty Jones and James O'Donnell rounded out the top five, finishing in fourth and fifth position respectively.
