The Footscray Bulldogs will open their 2019 VFL campaign against the Sandringham Zebras at VU Whitten Oval on Friday evening at 7pm.
With the final team to be confirmed on Friday afternoon, the Dogs look likely to have some new talent on show - including former Port Melbourne defender Dillon Viojo-Rainbow and Geelong's Ryan Gardner.
The Footscray Bulldogs will be led by captain Josh Prudden, with Daniel Giansiracusa coaching the side for the first time for premiership points.
