The Footscray Bulldogs will be looking to continue their strong start to 2021 when they take on the GWS Giants on Thursday night.
The Bulldogs will travel north to take on the Giants at Blacktown International Sports Park.
It will be broadcast live on Fox Footy.
With the Bulldogs’ AFL team not announced until Thursday night, an extended 30-player squad has been named for the VFL clash.
Key forward Josh Schache was the star for the ‘Scray last week, kicking 5.4 and clunking 12 marks in a season-opening 67-point win against the Gold Coast Suns at VU Whitten Oval.
Will Hayes (29 disposals) and Buku Khamis (21 disposals, 11 marks) impressed in defence, while Lin Jong and Riley Garcia (24 disposals each) contributed strongly to winning the midfield battle.
The final Footscray team will be announced one hour before the bounce.
