Luke Kennedy will become the Bulldogs' sixth debutant for 2026, picked to face the Adelaide Crows on Thursday night.

Drafted at Pick 62 in the 2024 National Draft, the Sandringham Dragons product has put together a number of strong performances at VFL level for Footscray over recent weeks. 

The popular midfielder amassed 17 touches and 15 tackles against Box Hill last weekend.

Kennedy also formed part of the 2025 Footscray Premiership team.

More to come.
