Sam Power was appointed to the role of Executive Manager - Men’s Football in February, 2025.

Power spent recent months acting in a similar role following the departure of Chris Grant, leading the men’s football program in an interim capacity since late last year.

The 41-year-old has headed up the Club’s list management and recruiting department since 2018, overseeing strategy, TPP management, player contracts and recruiting at Mission Whitten Oval.

Previous to the Bulldogs, Power undertook a number of roles at Carlton in football operations and as Company Secretary, arriving from Clayton Utz where he practiced law.

As a player, Power spent eight seasons in the AFL system, playing 84 games for the Western Bulldogs and 39 for North Melbourne.

Power will sit on the Club’s executive team and oversee all aspects of the men’s football program, while continuing to have an active role in contracts, TPP and the Club’s list strategy.
