It’s been a long wait, but AFL is finally back this weekend, with the Bulldogs taking on the Swans in the opening round this Saturday night.
To celebrate the first AFL game at the new-look Marvel Stadium, the Bulldogs will don a Thor-inspired guernsey in the Round 1 blockbuster.
Fans will be able to purchase the guernsey from the merchandise outlets at the Marvel Stadium, with the club donating a portion of the sale from every jumper to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Members who have purchased this week can find out details for accessing Round 1 here’
