The 25 Greatest Bulldogs
The Western Bulldogs are set to recognise their 25 greatest players of the past 100 years at ‘Through & Through: The Centenary Gala’, a special event to be held at Mission Whitten Oval.
Inked into Club history
The 25 players - who have represented the Club with undeniable distinction on the field and made the most considerable positive impact on its history – have been chosen after deliberations by an expert panel.
The selected players have been immortalised in a custom painting by renowned artist Jamie Cooper as part of the Club’s year-long acknowledgment of a century since it joined the VFL/AFL.
The final painting was unveiled at the Club's Charles Sutton Medal awards night on 1 October, 2025.
