Western Bulldogs 2025 Fixtures: Every Round Game, Every Opponent Date, Schedule, Start-Times
The Bulldogs finished sixth last season and that sounds just about right in 2025 as well.
It is fair to say that they did go backwards in the offseason, for now, trading away Bailey Smith to the Cats, however, they picked up a good draft pick and Matt Kennedy which helps with their depth in the midfield.
All in all, there is not a lot of improvement expected but not a lot of deterioration either, that's why the Doggies stay put in 6th with the same amount of wins.
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Games against top eight: 9
Top four: 5
Bottom four: 5
Play twice: North Melbourne, Fremantle, Brisbane, St Kilda, GWS, Essendon
Byes: Opening round, round 12
Games at the MCG: 2
Thursday night games: 3
Friday night games: 2
What’s good: This is a good footy draw, and not a bad commercial draw. The Dogs play only two top-eight sides twice, and only one top-four team (Brisbane). They start with three games on Friday or
Saturday nights.
What’s bad: Only two MCG games, and they don’t play Richmond until round 15. They get West Coast just once, and it is not until round 23, which makes early wins more critical.
