Did you know?
Did you know that 1 in every 5 football players in WA is female? There was an 80% increase in female football participants in WA, with over 33,000 players across schools, junior football, and senior football.
The WA Football Commission, the East Fremantle District, and the Booragoon Bulldogs are serious about getting Junior Girls Football up and running in East Freo.
Heritage Jumpers?

Karoonda Renovations Update
A small milestone with the renovations at Karoonda – the BKSA has applied for planning approval for the new clubroom building with the City of Melville. We are looking at a temporary solution to improve the lighting on the second oval for the 2015 season.
Article on Patrick Cripps
Great article on Ex-Bulldog Patrick Cripps, now at the Carlton Blues.
Dubbed “The Extractor” by the Blues on his drafting, but lovingly referred to at home as “Big Bush Pig” because of his love of pig hunting, one of Cripps’ key objectives is to improve his dash outside of stoppages.
“He has come back and fast-tracked his own development, which I think is a mark of a great person.”
