Hi everyone,

We head into round 7 this weekend and are only two weeks out from the King’s Birthday BYE round. I take a moment to pause this week and recognise all the outstanding work of our supporters. We all know and have probably witnessed both the best and worst of spectators in community sport, but I would like to acknowledge our community, our values, and the standards to which we hold ourselves accountable. Underpinned by the #Dontbethatparent program, we are absolute leaders in this space. Keep up the great work everyone, and if you don’t like what you’re seeing or hearing, speak up (respectfully of course) and call it out!

CHANGING THE GAME PROGRAM
As part of our ongoing commitment to building a respectful and inclusive football community, we’re pleased to announce that the Western Bulldogs Community Programs Team will deliver their “Changing the Game” Gender Equality Education Session to all U14 and U16 Boys and Girls teams on Wednesday, 4 June, ahead of the King’s Birthday BYE Weekend.

This important session aims to:
- Promote respectful relationships and gender equality.
- Raise awareness around domestic violence and how to be active bystanders.
- Connect players with mental health and well-being resources.
- Bring our players together to foster unity, leadership, and mutual understanding across age groups and genders.

The session will be held at Ormond Park, with times to be communicated by your Team Manager. Please contact Mark Megalla at markmegalla@gmail.com if you have any queries regarding the education session provided to players.
