A quartet of Bulldogs are tracking to be available for this weekend’s VFL and AFL clashes.

Taylor Duryea missed last week’s victory over Carlton, however will train this week to determine his availability.

“Taylor had some general soreness out of the physical game against the Pies in Round 2,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

“He has freshened up over the weekend and we will monitor him throughout the week, but we are expecting him to be putting his hand up for selection.”

After missing multiple weeks due to concussion, Luke Cleary remains a strong chance to feature this weekend.

“Luke Cleary has progressed well in the last seven days following his concussion,” Bell said.

“He is now symptom free and feeling back to his best.”

“He still has some final boxes to tick this week before we can declare him available, but he remains on track to return to playing this weekend.

Anthony Scott and Lachie Jacques haven’t played a game for the Bulldogs in 2025 due to injury, with the pair aiming for a return this weekend.

“Anthony has been building training continuity across the last few weeks after spending some time in a rehab model following his partial kneecap dislocation injury,” Bell said.

“He has been the ultimate professional across the last two months, and if he gets through our main training sessions this week like I expect, I look forward to him pulling on the jumper this weekend.”

“Lachlan Jaques had some minor overload of a bone in his thigh at the back end of our pre-season campaign.”

“We have managed him across the last few weeks, so he missed the Round 1 VFL clash, but we look forward to him representing the red, white and blue in the VFL this Saturday.”
