The Footscray Bulldogs’ 2019 VFL campaign has ended, after falling to Port Melbourne by 15 points on Saturday afternoon at Adcon Stadium.
Booting seven behinds in the first term, the ‘Scray got off to a slow start - heading into the main break with one major on the scoreboard.
Fighting back in the final term, the Bulldogs minimised the margin to just 9-points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. However, a comeback wasn’t to be, with Port Melbourne running away with the 15-point victory.
Midfielder Lukas Webb was influential throughout the day, collecting 32 disposals and seven tackles while Lin Jong proved vital for the ‘Scray on his return, collecting 23 disposals, five tackles and booting a much needed goal in the final term.
Developing defender Laitham Vandermeer (24 disposals, six marks) continued to show positive signs throughout the day, while Jackson Trengove’s experience was influential for the young side.
Young forward Jordan Boyd continued his solid VFL form booting two goals.
The Footscray Bulldogs ended their 2019 VFL home and away season with 14 wins, four losses and one draw, before failing to secure a win in the finals.
