Adam Treloar sidelined for at least six weeks as scans reveal another serious calf injury
Western Bulldogs midfielder Adam Treloar faces an uphill battle to play much more footy this year after scans revealed another serious calf injury. Treloar was substituted out of Sunday's big win over Richmond after suffering yet another calf issue. 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary said he will be sidelined for at least six weeks. 'Adam Treloar's scans have revealed a calf strain,' Cleary said on Monday. 'Set to be sidelined for at least the next six weeks. 'Going to be touch-and-go for a H&A return… finals another conversation (if Dogs make it). 'The All-Australian also out of contract for 2026.' The 32-year-old, who became an All-Australian for the first time last year, was playing just his fourth senior match of the season. He missed the first seven games of the year after a pre-season injury, but managed just one match (against Port Adelaide in Round 8) before he was sidelined again. Treloar returned to face the Hawks in Round 13, and played against the Saints the following week before going down once more on Sunday. With nine rounds left in the season, it leaves Treloar's season hanging by a thread. The Bulldogs look likely to make the finals, which will give the veteran more chance to recover but also will leave coach Luke Beveridge with a massive decision on whether to select the injury-prone midfielder. Earlier this month, Beveridge maintained they would continue to pick him when he's fit. 'We're hoping he's got a future beyond this year and that will take care of itself. We'll work through that,' he said. 'He's just such an influential player and an esteemed player over a long period of time, that by and large, week to week, he's probably going to be in our best 22 or 23 so we'll pick him when he's when he's feeling fit and healthy and strong.' The Western Bulldogs currently sit in eighth position on the ladder ahead of Friday night's huge clash against Sydney.

Injury toll sours Western Bulldogs' thumping 79-point win over Richmond as Marcus Bontempelli stars
Marcus Bontempelli has quickly returned to his brilliant best, leading the Western Bulldogs to a 79-point AFL demolition of lowly Richmond. The 21.9 (135) to 8.8 (56) cakewalk on Sunday at Marvel Stadium, coupled with GWS's win over Gold Coast, put the Bulldogs back in the top eight. Their highest score this season also brought an important percentage boost in the jostle for top-eight berths, especially as it follows last week's 72-point win over St Kilda. But the Bulldogs' day out was soured by another calf muscle problem for All-Australian midfielder Adam Treloar, and a late hit to Lachlan McNeil, who appeared to be in pain from a shoulder complaint. Ahead of his contract talks ramping up this week, and his 250th-game on Friday night against Sydney, Bontempelli was best afield against the Tigers. The Bulldogs captain racked up 36 possessions — his highest for the season — and kicked three goals, after a hard tag from Marcus Windhager had restricted him to just 14 disposals last weekend against the Saints. About the only thing Bontempelli did wrong all game was an ill-considered attempt at a high mark late in the final quarter. In his third game since returning to the AFL, Treloar was subbed out before half time. The Bulldogs cited calf tightness. He later cut a dejected figure on the bench in what were sad images. Treloar has managed only four matches this season due to persistent calf troubles. Earlier this month, coach Luke Beveridge said the 32-year-old might only be available for three or four games at a time. Fellow Bulldogs James O'Donnell and McNeil also finished the game sore and on the bench. The Bulldogs led from the start and kept Richmond goalless from 20 minutes in the first quarter until six minute into the third. A seven-goal second term for the Bulldogs, when key forward Sam Darcy looked ready to kick a bag, killed off the game after the Tigers had been competitive in the first quarter. The Bulldogs kicked the opening goal of each quarter inside the first couple of minutes, setting the scene for their easy win. While Richmond more than doubled their tally with five goals in the final term, the Bulldogs still outscored them for the quarter. Darcy kicked five goals and at the other end, Richmond key forward Tom Lynch led his team's scoring with three. Veteran Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin also impressed, with 28 possessions, while midfielders Ed Richards, Tom Liberatore and Matt Kennedy shone for the Bulldogs.
