GAME DAY: Western Bulldogs v Richmond at Etihad Stadium | 3AW Radio
THE WASH-UP
Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge spoke to 3AW Football on Sunday.
He said he wouldn’t bring a rival player into the club during the season like Collingwood did with Lin Jong.
‘I’d talk to a player during the year if we were interested in him,’ Beveridge said.
‘But there’s no way we’d bring him into our football club during the season. It’s just something we wouldn’t do.’
Beveridge said Tom Liberatore is still a chance to take on the Suns next week.
