The Western Bulldogs’ first selection in the upcoming 2023 AFL National Draft will be Pick 5, as of the culmination of the Trade Period.
The Bulldogs then have a swag of picks from the third round onwards, in anticipation of a bid on Jordon Croft, who last week advised he has formally nominated the Club as a father-son.
