This Sunday the 29th of November, The Bulldogs are having a BBQ / Info session regarding pre season training. All current, new and interested players are welcome, with the day kicking off at 1.30. This will be held at the junior oval as the senior oval is being used for the Daylesford Show. Watch this space for more info regarding pre season sessions and other important dates.
Well it has been twelve months and we have come full circle and this weekend we are back at the scene of some good and some bad memories. This Saturday at 10.30 the day kicks off with the Under 18 Bulldogs in their first Central Highlands Football Grand Final. Steve Cowan and Scott Winduss have had the boys up and running since the start of last November and the results have been obvious. With a hard running and well drilled team on the park, the Daylesford under 18′s have reached their first Grand Final since the mid 90′s. The funny thing about that team was that one of the current coaches, Scotty, was a member of that unit, along with current Senior footballers Luke Adams and Clayton Scoble. Lets hope the ‘Pups’ set the tone for the day, and can reverse the results on the only team that has beaten them this year, Ballan. With the wide open spaces of Northern Oval, the boys should be well suited to the ground and hopefully use their running game to perfection. Good Luck fellas.
Then to the senior game. Not much needs to be said about this one. With probably one of the greatest rivalries in country footy, the Bulldogs will look to avenge last years 10 goal smacking at the hands of Cross town rivals, Hepburn. This year we have seen two contrasting games. The first where the Bulldogs came away with an 87 point thumping of the Burras. The next game the boys seemed to be well off their game early and only clicked into gear half way through the third quarter. With lots of ‘what if’s’ about contentious marks and goals on the day, we were lucky to come away with a one point win and now the rest is history. So it has once again come to this and with two very different teams facing off compared to last year, lets hope the Bulldogs can come away celebrate what has been a fantastic year by Luke Beattie and his team. Go Dogs.

Come and help celebrate a fantastic season by the DFNC in 2009.
All suporters welcome.
This Tuesday night, the 4th of August, the DFNC will have two of Australia’s highest quality professionals in the sporting field take training. John Pryor and David Bick will be conducting a special training session at Victoria Park. John is a specialist in the areas of fitness training, nutrition, biomechanics and injury management and over the past several years has worked extensively with the NSW Waratahs, the ACT Brumbies, the Brisbane Broncos and the Qantas Wallabies. John completed a masters degree researching muscle mechanics and has international publications in sports medicine, biomechanics and strength training journals.
An award-winning Sports Physiotherapist, David has committed his career to inspiring Australians from early development up to elite athlete level. He is a recognised specialist in tendonopathy, running clinics and lectures educating other physiotherapists from around the country. For the past seven years, David has been travelling the world as Team Physiotherapist to our great Australian Rugby Union Team – the Wallabies, and still treats many of his Wallaby mates when they’re here at home. David is also soccer star Harry Kewell’s physiotherapist when in Australia, working closely with him after ankle and hip surgery in 2006 to get him back to peak performance. And as a former Australian Under 21 representative himself, David’s private clients read like a who’s who of Australian Champions – George Gregan (Rugby), Ian Thorpe (Swimming), Matt Shirvington (Track and Field), Jamie Dwyer (Hockey), Alyson Annan (Hockey) and Melanie Roche (Softball) just to name a few. He has also worked for two years as Team Physiotherapist for NSW rugby team The Waratahs, twelve years with the Olympic men’s and women’s Track and Field, Softball, Gymnastics, and Hockey Teams, and another eight years as Team Physiotherapist at the NSW Institute of Sport for Softball, Gymnastics and Track and Field. In 2000 David caught the eye of royalty, being awarded the Australian Sports Medal for service to Sport by Her Majesty the Queen.
Today the two men, along with Michael Lawrance, the father of Footballer Nick and Netballer Ruth, have formed JointAction, which specialises in Occupational Health & Safety.
A big thank you to Michael for organising the session and for more information on the men check the following links.
