By Western Bulldogs Media
The Footscray Bulldogs will have 16 AFL-listed players when they run out on Mission Whitten Oval for Saturday’s First VFL Qualifying Final against Frankston.
Former All Australian Adam Treloar will suit up in the red, white and blue fresh off a 40-disposal game a fortnight ago.
Experienced duo Liam Jones and Taylor Duryea will lead the backline, while Anthony Scott and Ryan Gardner again feature.
Jordan Croft will miss the clash with a quad injury.
The game begins at 12.35pm at Mission Whitten Oval and will be live streamed on the AFL Live app and afl.com.au/vfl.
The winner will host a Preliminary Final at home in two weeks’ time.
Gate 1 (Barkly St) and Gate 2 (main reception) will be open from 11:30am AEST. Tickets are available for pre-purchase here.
Please note: from late Friday 29 August to 5am Monday 1 September, the West Gate Freeway outbound will be closed between Williamstown Road and Millers Road for major asphalting work. Significant delays of over 90 minutes are expected, so we encourage patrons to avoid the area if possible and seek alternative routes.
