The Western Bulldogs have named a squad of 23 players for tomorrow’s match simulation training session against the Kangaroos at Mission Whitten Oval.

Newest Bulldogs Sarah Poustie, Emma McDonald and Keeley Hardingham will feature, who were picked up in the most recent draft.

Recruit Lou Stephenson is also set to run out in the red, white and blue for the first time, while Lauren Ahrens and Elle Bennetts will add even more experience.

Tackling machine Elaine Grigg will also play, as will Jess Fitzgerald, Rylie Wilcox and Sarah Hartwig.

The full squad can be viewed below.

Marking the Bulldogs’ first of the 2025 campaign against proper opposition, the match simulation will consist of four 20-minute quarters and be free for fans to attend.
