Round 20, 2025
The Bulldogs saluted for their 10th straight victory when they faced the Hawks on away turf late in the VFL season. While the hosts enjoyed flashes of dominance, the Bulldogs maintained their strength throughout, quietening any hopes of a Hawks comeback in the last quarter.
In the midfield, Michael Sellwood led the way with a game-high 28 disposals, while Billy Crofts collected 25 disposals and seven tackles. Will Lewis and Jordan Croft finished with three goals apiece.
THE LINE-UP
WHO TO WATCH
Adam Treloar was everywhere in the Bulldogs’ Qualifying Final win, collecting a game-high 35 disposals to go with 11 clearances and eight tackles. The 32-year-old had an interrupted run with injury this year but has strung together a decent run in the back end of this VFL campaign. With his experience and leadership on offer along with his skill and class, Treloar will be a valued asset come Saturday afternoon.
